Yes, you can set a minimum number of days to order in advance, or allow same day orders. You can also set a minimum basket amount to place an order.
Are there any guidelines on food packaging?
You may use packaging that carries your brand or generic ones bought off-the-shelf. It is important to only source from reputable companies to ensure safety and quality standards are met.
What is HDB/URA Home-Based Business Scheme and are there any licensing requirements?
Under the HDB/URA Home-Based Business Scheme, residents may carry out small scale home-based business activities without requiring approval from HDB/URA.
Excerpts from Singapore Food Agency’s (SFA) website :
Home-based Food Business and Food Safety
As the conditions of HDB and URA’s scheme limit the scale of food preparation by home-based food businesses (HBFBs), SFA has assessed that the food safety risk associated with such HBFBs is low relative to other food establishments. Hence, they are exempted from licensing requirements.
