Recipes ideas for sale

Recipes

Whether you're a professional chef or a food enthusiast with talent for home cooking, you might be able to earn extra money selling recipe ideas. You can prepare a presentation package and make a small portfolio outlining your culinary background and the recipe idea you're pitching. Include your current food service resume or related credentials to prove your expertise. If you think about it, every food item you see in restaurants, bakeries, grocery and convenience stores started with a recipe. And more likely than not, the creator was paid for his efforts. It's time now to cash in.

I owned a candy store. I closed the store down a few years ago and kept the recipes, at the time i thought when my children were older they might want to get into the confection business, I never thought much about selling the recipes until recently when I was contacted by a couple who was familiar with my business

My mother has been approached by several local restaurants interested in buying one of her recipes. How much does a recipe typically sell for?

  • Reply

@jkelley99 It would depend a lot on the recipe and how much business the recipe is likely to attract for the restaurant.?

  • Reply

@jkelley99 Also, it would be important that the recipe be kept secret and that you agree to keep it secret from competitors.?

  • Reply

@lspencer9b ?It will also depend upon if she sells it to one restaurants or to multiple restaurants.

  • Reply

@jkelley99 There is no standard price.

  • Reply

@jkelley99 ?It's up to the two parties to negotiate a deal. The price for the exclusive rights to a recipe would be higher than for non-exclusive rights.
