Answer 1

Since you already have access to the Internet, the best way to begin is by offering to cater office lunches in your city - where you will have to invest only in the actual items needed for each day, plus packing material. Cooking and packing can be done at home, and initially you can even deliver the food yourself : This should not be too much of a financial strain on you.
...You can begin 'operations', by sending individually addressed mailers (never opt for group mails, because it makes the recipients feel that you do not particularly care for their order !) to various offices - outlining the types of lunches you can offer.
...In all modesty, you can claim that you offer 'home-cooked food that will beat any 5-star restaurant's cuisine, at very affordable prices'. Make sure, that you clearly mention your price for each set-lunch in the mailer.
At first you might not any responses. Please do NOT lose heart, and send a second reminder after about 2 weeks.
...Once you get your first order, it will upto you - to make a name for yourself, with every lunch you serve the Customers. When you have proved that you can deliver even MORE than what you promised, the customers' word-of-mouth publicity will spread - and fresh orders will start pouring in.
You can then rope in a friend, or two, to assist you - and even hire a delivery boy/girl to ensure the timely delivery of your lunches.
...Only when you are confident that you are assured of regular orders for at least 100 lunches each day, should you approach a bank for a loan - and convince them into giving it to you !
...With that loan, you can rent extra space to do the cooking - and invest in larger and better utensils, better custom-designed packaging, plus labour-saving equipment.
Soon, you will be asked by some customers, to cater snacks in the evenings, plus provide even multi-course dinner spreads for office/business parties.
And you can expand, as the orders flow in - investing a part of your profits in finally setting up the full-fledged restaurant of your dreams.
...'Slow and steady will succeed', dear.
Best of Luck.

Get a job as a cook, make some money, get some industry contacts. Then go to chef school, become a chef. Then get a job as a gourmet chef. After a few years you may be able to start your own restaurant.

Success takes a long time, don't be in too much of a hurry or you will fail.

Answer 4

Compared to offline businesses, the investment required to start an online business is minimal. A popular way of earning money on the internet is by providing information and services.
