My wife got the H4 EAD last year but she isn’t interested in Corporate work anymore because of the long gap. She is a great cook specializing in South Indian and Middle Eastern as she mostly grew up in UAE. She wants to do something in the line of food business but I don’t have any clue. I might start a restaurant when I get the green card but that is far far away. Any ideas for the time being?

Home cooked meal service? The demand for high quality, nutritious food is likely to go up as more people welcome the hybrid wfh model post pandemic. I know a sizeable market for such a service already exists in NJ, NYC.

From personal experience, I live in DC and there's no decent service in the district. You could also find a new market in such cities where there's not enough supply at present.

A lady near by our client office did exactly same as what D1 said. She started cooking for 2,3 people in our office but later on it went to 25 people maximum. And, she also liked the business model because she works only M-Thu, and we pay good money as it’s on client’s dime.

If she is really interested, get her enrolled in a culinary school. She can work her way up once she has her foot in the door. It’s not easy to run a restaurant.
