Seriously thinking of starting a hawker stall or cafe

[default]

rent at circuit road hawker. the rental there is only $700. quite reasonable to me.

kanina la, lol u think the ah ma ah pek can lim ur $5 latte/espresso meh

i mean can is can, but like that need to sell kopi and cheap loti liao although got new developments popping up. maybe $2.50 latte but most ah ma ah pek will still kpkb and wont appreciate... but the younger crowd will do so. but it's quite a distance from mattar MRT i think? ok la about 150m-200m? not say a lot but wonder if got crowd will go there or not

need super fierce marketing

Last yr was thinking to sell waffles.

But good thing never push through cos my Dad deteriorated this yr.

If selling bread and sandwich. Will they allow? Or only certain bread allowed?

usually bread aka pastries and snacks under drinks or western food stall

schools usually quite strict and u can only sell what is agreed

that area is being gentrified but might take a couple more years. the condo there mostly young people and new BTOs coming up at Macpherson. i think one recently TOPed. somemore i don't there is a cafe in that area, other than the two ice-cream places.

mattar mrt was built for a reason and not just to serve the existing people there. still a few plots of land there planned for commercical/residential.

maybe your craft beer/coffee place would also be good for the coaches/parents at the football academy there. defo a unique stall there.

[Philipkee]

Definitely not easy.  Don't follow edmw and assume it's so easy to own merc and such after being a hawker

intending to sell brewed tea, coffee and craft beer and with snacks/bread to go along

If u can take the hardship and able to cook well, can try being a hawker..

As for cafe, I think dun bother unless u can find a place with damn low rental.

sell drink should be can la

 

sell drink is not suka suka can sell

coffee shop is confirm owner wanna do, hawker centre is depends on NEA allocation of stalls, shop front subject to landlord rental

[Nevereatrice]

Difficult to sell drink. This job normally taken up by the coffee shop owner themselves
Sell sugar cane/soya bean in hawker centre

1. Go ask rental .. see surrounding 200-400 m rental cost in past 6-12 mths
Can ask agents around or if u hv familiar ppl ask them help u ask the neighbours who is giving up their biz

2. If decent footfall then next is labor cost .. at least u need 1/2-1 human come help u at peak hour 7-10 am
1-4pm

3. If nobody reporting for work are u able to cope with 90% of crowd level ? If u fall sick do u hv someone in yr circle can immediately step in replace u ?

4. U able to do social marketing / online marketing : sales
N handle ops : coffee making , replacing the confectioneries daily,
N handle admin (accounting payroll invoices n receipts / earnings )
