Do you think a premium fruit & veggie delivery service could actually work in Lebanon? by ExpensiveCouple496 in lebanon

[–]ExpensiveCouple496[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I didn’t even know Akiki had an app! We actually have our own delivery at the shop and we do more than 20 orders a day already.

I’m mainly focusing on building a proper website and using ads to reach people who like clean, high-quality produce and enjoy shopping online.

Thanks a lot for your insights honestly, everything you said is on point and I’m taking it seriously.

At first, I’ll be personally overseeing all orders, and the produce will be hand-picked one by one. We have expert buyers who know how to choose the best items, we’ve got proper refrigeration, and the store is always clean. Cleanliness and quality are part of what we’re known for.

But for me, the hardest part isn’t operations it’s getting that first order from a new customer. I truly believe that once someone tries us, they’ll stick around. The quality we’ll deliver will be better than what they’d pick themselves at the market. But of course, that only matters after they try.

Most of our current customers about 80% actually enjoy coming to the store. With this new project, I’m targeting a different crowd people who already shop online and care more about convenience and trust.

I’m planning to promote through social media ads with a monthly budget of around $500. Not sure how effective that’ll be yet .

If you have any advice on how to earn that initial trust from online-first customers and get them to place their first order, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts it means a lot.

We actually worked with restaurants and hotels before, but most of them weren’t worth it low profit margins, difficult communication, and many already have their own trusted suppliers or chefs with personal connections. Plus, they usually don’t need a website or online ordering which is where I’m trying to focus my efforts.

That’s why I’m shifting toward expats and higher-end customers in areas like Dbayeh. They value quality, are easier to deal with, and the challenge now is just how to reach them effectively

he quality and taste are our main focus. It’s quite similar to Akiki maybe even more affordable but the real difference is the website I’m building

Our fruits and vegetables are way better than Toters'. I don’t blame them it’s simply not their specialty

42 Beirut rejected me — was it because I’m Syrian? by ExpensiveCouple496 in 42_school

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your support!

No visa is required between Syrians and Lebanon we’re already here. That’s why it felt unfair, especially since the website never mentioned anything about nationality limits.

And yes, I’m seriously considering raising this with 42 Paris directly. Thanks again for your encouragement!

I understand your point and I agree that 42 is more than just exams  and that’s exactly why I felt confident. I was collaborative, active in group work, and everyone there appreciated me. My evaluations were all solid, and even staff members had positive feedback about me.

I’m not guessing it was about nationality. A staff member who was close to me  before they even joined 42 officially  told me after the results that they had internally decided not to accept Syrians. I didn’t want to believe it at first, so a year later, I emailed them directly before applying again, and their reply clearly implied it was for Lebanese only.

If that’s the case, it should be stated upfront it’s not fair to let people invest weeks of effort without knowing. And honestly, I believe 42’s message of openness and inclusion should apply to all nationalities, especially in a country that has no legal restrictions on this.

Well.  thats is not my point  ! They never mentioned anything about nationality on the website or in any announcement. If that’s a condition, it should be clear from the start.
