As a consumer of restaurants – the only thing that’s ever worked is having really amazingly awesome food. Yeah a flyer or an ad or catching my eye as I walk about town might catch my eye, but when it’s time to buy I mentally go through my short memory list of “Places I’ve enjoyed in the past and are reasonably convenient”
Even on UberEats I am far more likely to pick from the section of “places you’ve bought before” than search for something new.
That said: Photos. Get a professional photographer to take actually good photos of your food and use those in all your advertising and delivery app listings.
As proof that the really good food approach works – there is a sandwich places in San Francisco. Any time I mention “Really good sandwich place in SF if you like meaty sandos” on a place like Hacker News, several people comment “You mean Deli Board?”. It’s that good. Brand.
Always use no-code tools for marketing automation.
Always use done-for-you hosting and deployment systems (at least aws – netlify, vercel, heroku, flightcontrol if they fit)
Never use no-code tools for your core product.
I started to use no-code to conceptualise the product, but really regret it now, as I've spent too much time trying to bend it for my use case. Would be much quicker to code it myself.
Just saved the pic to print out! I love it 😂👏🏼
Always best to engage people where they’re already engaging.
The benefit of email is that you own the relationship with your users. Problem is corporations taught people that newslettery emails are one-way communication and people stopped responding. The more you make it look and feel like a person, the more they’ll engage.
For highest replies, try ending with a clear question. Something actionable for the person to do. “Let’s connect soon” is cold and impersonal. “What frustrates you about <problem this kickstarter is solving>?”, now we’re talking
But steak and poultry are a type of meat 🤨
As someone who's been working out for a long time (although been a while since I aimed to look ripped), this sounds super complicated. But it makes sense, similar idea as intermittent fasting.
I workout in the evenings so what I've found works easiest for me is to eat lots after working out for recovery purposes, then not eat at all until lunch next day. My pre workout meals are usually what you'd call cut meals in your setup. The tricky part for me here is ensuring I have enough energy to have a good workout.
Actually ... I guess I'm doing the same thing as you described :D Just never realized it. Felt like it's easier to eat lots after working out because if you do it before and you then have a bad workout for whatever reason, it's easy to overeat.
Thanks for your answer!
I don't think it's complicated when you have sorted out the right cut foods and bulk foods after a while.
Cut foods include organ meats, steak, poultry, berries, quark, shrimps, fibrous vegetables, herbs.
Bulk foods: fish, meat, eggs, avocado, sourdough bread, honey, peanut butter, cheese, whole fruits.
I tend to workout around noon every other day, so I'm eating a cut meal before working out and two meal afterwards.

My standard advice for this sort of thing is “If you’re asking, the answer is yes”.
You’ve already decided. Now it’s time for the conscious self to catch up and reverse engineer a logical reason for your decision so you can feel good about it.
With that out of the way, I would flip the question: “What do I need to be able to quit my job?”. Figure that out and get to work.
@swizec Thanks for the response. Maybe you are right. But I'm more concerned about, how I'm able to survive. Should I work for six more months and save up to 5k$? I'm not sure, how to take a step forward.
