Canva just killed the ₹500 per post designer.

And honestly? Most entrepreneurs have no idea this happened.

Yesterday, Canva dropped something MASSIVE. Four AI features that completely change the game for small business owners like us.

Here’s what they launched:

-----

1. Prompt to Full Design

Literally type what you want. Get a complete template in seconds. No more staring at blank canvases.

2. AI in the Elements Tab

Generate custom photos, videos, even 3D elements — right inside Canva. No more searching stock photo sites for hours.

3. Style Matching

Take the style of one element. Apply it to another. One click. Your entire design stays consistent.

4. Ask

This is wild. You can now tag Canva in comments and ask for design advice. It looks at YOUR actual design and gives you specific feedback.

“Does this color work?”
“Should I change the font?”

And it answers. In real-time.

-----

Here’s what this means for us entrepreneurs:

👉 The ₹500 per social post? You don’t need to pay that anymore.

👉 The ₹10,000 logo design? You can create it yourself in minutes.

👉 The monthly retainer for basic designs? Gone.

I’m not saying great designers are going anywhere. They’re not.

But if you’re a solopreneur or small business owner still paying for basic template work — you have options now.

Canva just became your design team.

Have you tried any of these new features yet? I’m genuinely curious how it’s working for other business owners.

When is the right time to start a food business? ⏰

The honest answer: There is no perfect time.

Most people keep waiting for:
❌ Perfect capital
❌ Perfect team
❌ Perfect setup

But here’s the truth: If you wait for perfection, you’ll wait forever.

Successful food entrepreneurs didn’t start when they were “ready.”

They started when they had just enough to TEST their idea.
From home. Small kitchen. Limited budget.

Because real growth doesn’t happen in your plan—it happens when customers taste your food and PAY for it.

Stop waiting for “someday.”
✅ Start with a lean menu
✅ Test small
✅ Get feedback
✅ Improve fast

That’s how you build clarity AND confidence.

Not getting sales in your food business? You probably skipped the most important step 🎯

Before you perfect your menu, before you worry about marketing—answer this:

Who is your target audience?

Everything revolves around them:
→ What they need
→ What problems you solve for them
→ Your unique selling proposition
→ How you communicate with them
→ Where they can order from you

Most food entrepreneurs jump straight to cooking and posting. But if you don’t know WHO you’re cooking for, you’re just guessing.

Home chef? Home baker? Cloud kitchen? Doesn’t matter—identify your audience FIRST.

Then build everything around them 💡

While everyone was shutting down during COVID, we scaled from 54 lakhs to 3 crores 📈

The secret? We pivoted to cloud kitchens when others were closing dine-in restaurants.

Here’s the breakdown:
• Year 1 (COVID): 54 lakhs
• Year 2: 1 crore
• Year 3: 3 crores

Most revenue came through online delivery. So our next expansion wasn’t fine dining—it was cloud kitchens.
Sometimes the biggest opportunities come during the biggest crises 💡

Big menu ≠ Big sales 🚫

Most food entrepreneurs think more items = more revenue. But here’s the truth: you’re building confusion, not a brand.

Every extra item means:
❌ Extra inventory
❌ Extra wastage
❌ Extra complexity
❌ Lower profit margins

Look at the most successful brands:
🍔 Burger King = The Whopper
🍛 Meghana Foods = Special Biryani

They don’t win with variety. They win with ONE hero signature item that defines their brand.

That’s what drives identity. That’s what drives sales.

Focus on scaling ONE hero item, not 50 average ones.

This cafe literally removed laptop plug points 🔌❌

Suraj Madhnani (Amintiri founder) reveals a genius restaurant strategy 👇

When Museum Road location got packed with “people coming by the hordes” - they switched off plug points 🔥

Why? Because customers were coming to INDULGE, not work 💡

Their new HSR location? They’re giving plugs… for now. But once it fills up like Museum Road? Those switchboards are getting turned off too 👀

This is what table turnover optimization looks like when you’re TOO successful 📈
Sometimes the best business move is knowing what NOT to offer 💪
Restaurant owners - take notes! 📝

You don’t need a big setup to start your food business 🚀

No fancy interiors ❌
No big dining space ❌
No premium location ❌

What you ACTUALLY need? 👇

A small, efficient kitchen that delivers great food consistently ✅
That’s the cloud kitchen advantage 💡

Start lean, test fast, scale wisely 📈
Stop waiting for the “perfect time” - start SMART instead 🎯

Focus on: Product. Process. Consistency.
The profits will follow 💰

Save this if you’re planning to launch your food business! 🔖

“I’m not a specialist, but a generalized specialist” 💡

Suraj Madhnani’s genius approach to building Amintiri 👇

He works with specialists in architecture, marketing, coffee, pastry & more… but here’s the twist 🔥

He gives them PARTNERSHIP in the business. So they feel “this is MY brand” 💪

Result? A holistic brand where everyone brings their A-game ✨
This is next-level team building 🙌

Most food founders depend only on Swiggy, Zomato, Talabat, and DoorDash.
And when sales don’t happen, they start complaining.

But the truth is, if you really want to build a profitable brand,
you need to stop thinking like a Cloud Kitchen
and start operating like a Dark Kitchen.

That’s where the real money is,
multiple sales channels, better margins, and complete control.

🎯 Save this reel so you never forget this mindset.
