We're deviating from our regular schedule to bring you the best new business ideas of 2007, featuring our personal favourites. This isn't a trip down memory lane – all of these smart concepts will continue to provide entrepreneurs with plenty of opportunities in 2008. Next up: food & beverage.

Hotel as retail space |
It's been a full five years since we covered Westin Hotels' Heavenly Bed program, through which it sells the same beds that guests sleep on in its rooms. Other hotel brands followed suit, selling selected products that are used in rooms, or that line up with their (boutique) style. Now, a hotel still in the planning stages aims to take the concept and apply it to everything on its eco-friendly premises.

Social network for restaurateurs |
Get people from the same industry into a room together, and they'll invariably spend the whole time talking shop; get them into a social network together, and the whole industry could benefit from the discussion. That's a rough approximation of the idea behind FohBoh, a new vertical social network dedicated to those involved in the global restaurant industry. |

Ready-to-cook meals delivered to busy urbanites |
Home cooking is a basic pleasure that gets denied by busy schedules all too often, and at least part of the reason is the time that must go into shopping for and preparing ingredients before the cooking can begin. We've already covered a few examples of semi-cooking purveyors (most recently: Kit a bien manger), and now I Love Mother has come to the table – so to speak – with more ways to help consumers serve up freshly cooked meals at home.

Brighton grocer sticks to local products |
The supermarket business is about as mature as an industry can get. Giant chains with centuries-worth of collective management knowledge compete fiercely in hundreds of markets for margins amounting to just pence on the pound. Even so, entrepreneurs have succeeded in nibbling away at mega chains. |
