The licence you need, what the store must handle, and how delivery differs for packaged and fresh food.
Every food business needs FSSAI registration for small turnover or a state or central licence above that, and the number must appear on labels and on your website. Packaged food labels also need ingredients, allergens, net quantity, dates and the manufacturer's address. Sort this before the first order; marketplaces and couriers ask for it.
Pack sizes as variants (250 g, 500 g, 1 kg), a delivery pincode check so you only accept orders you can serve, cash on delivery for first-time buyers, and reorder reminders because food is bought again and again. GST invoices with the right rate per product matter since food rates vary.
Packaged snacks, spices, pickles and dry goods ship nationally through Shiprocket in sealed, well-padded boxes. Fresh, frozen and home-cooked food is delivered the same day within a few kilometres by your own riders, which also keeps COD collection in your hands. Many food brands run both from one store.
