New Small Business Idea: Local Fast Food Portal

Just start out with a simple service and then develop your business further.For example, you could start a simple website and put fast food restaurants and their complete menu online, to generate online orders for them, some places do it themselves, most small ones don't.Charge for the privilege a fixed fee per month and then advertise your site locally: talk to the local newspaper, they are always looking for stories,drop leaflets in neighborhoods,blog about it on the internet with a strong local focus.Then see where the road leads you, here are two ideas: you could develop your online portal more for other services and become portal for events, jobs, accountants and so on;you could deliver the fast food for restaurants who do take away, but do not deliver.I guess you can see what I'm driving at.
