The heat is creeping back up in Colombo after the rains. It would be nice to have an ice tea on a hot day like this. But wait, you can’t.

We produce tea right? How come we don’t have ice tea more freely available?

Cartons in a supermarket don’t count, it should be as easy as getting a soda. Can-it or setup drink dispensers. We are good at packaging and marketing such things.

Chinese Delivery

There have been Chinese take out shops in my town for as long as I can remember. But none of them deliver. Few of the bigger joints like Chinese Dragon and Flower drum deliver but since they are a bit out of town it takes longer to deliver and they have some minimal amounts they will send.

So why don’t the little shops deliver? All it takes is a guy on a motorbike or 3 wheeler. If you can’t keep your own delivery guy just talk to a few guys in the local 3 wheeler stand and get it going.

In this age of copy paste business models you have to stay ahead of the other guy. Besides I really don’t want to drive up to the take out place today. :)

Update: Jade Maharagama delivers! 2839839
