You earn more profit if you have plenty of customers and your
foods are delicious and famous. If people don’t like your food and
price…then you can’t or have problems covering your rent. In food
business you can see your profit within 6 months or even
lesser.
I used to help my late mother food stalls during my school days
and when I had started working. I have done food business
before.
How about you….have you washed your own plate at home or you get
your maid or parents to do for you?
What you just factored in is only a mere percentage of running
cost of a food stall or a restaurant. How about trying to factor in
your operation cost, utilities, rent, CPF contrubutions or levy and
labour cost ?
Most restaurants in Singapore if lucky makes no more then 30% of
their total sales these days. I am still in the food business running and
managing 2 restaurants in Singapore, 1 in Thailand and 1 in Taiwan
mate.
And to answer your question about me washing my plates at home ?
Well, i was my own plates because i live by myself and at work, i
have dishwashers to do that for me.
