Hi Cherroy

I couldn't determine yet how much I can sell, so it would be better if I know how much can a very good performing stall earns in a month and also the average one so I can see the high and low before deciding is it worth to take the plunge. Of course many factors included esp location. If you do know the earnings of any hawker, is much appreciated.  biggrin.gif

Haven't decided what to sell but it will not differ much from existing hawker foods.

Yes, I agree with you on taste and location. Say let us just put aside those factors, I would like to know what is the range(net profits) of an average and a very good hawker can get in a month. I've heard of some saying that there are hawkers earning about RM10k plus a month(net profits) and so.. but is it real?  smile.gif

well the most important thing is know what is the turn over of the restaurant.....taking the lowest estimation people come in will be the best, if not you will lose hope very fast ( because expectation too high but the rate you imagine is too low)

just a few days ago, i went around pj and notice that about 4k per stall/ month which i directly ask the owner because me myself plan to start during weekend. only.

because you start know what you want to sell, look for your competitor nearby where u want to start. do you need worker to help you? what are your different between other people stall.

well looking at price to charge customer also have to determine your location some people might think your food and nice and cheap or reasonable price people who come from far too.

putting in money in a factor as well, some marketing will help to increase your customer

lexiqa,

<<which job don't need hard work wor?? only depends on whether u willing to do or not lor.>>

How many people work 60 to 80 hours per week on their job?? That is HARD WORK.  Anything less than that is just working....
<< get from those agencies that also supply maids lor. some ppl get from there to do stall/restaurant work also.

btw, i thought abt it and i think rojak, chicken wings, are few things that don't need too many preparations.

rojak. buy fruits, buy rojak sauce by bulk and add chilli paste or make urself only. no need cooking skills also. just good at cutting fruits fast and nicely

chicken wings. buy chicken wings, add marinate then overnight. open stall then panggang and sell.

both things also don't need so special cooking skills and hardly can make until so terrible no one will buy. lol>>

Okay.  Let's say that you are SUCCESSFUL.  What is there to stop people from COPYCATTING the same business??

ahpoh,

lexiqa CLAIMED that no special skill is REQUIRED.  So, she is the ONE that you need convincing...

<< both things also don't need so special cooking skills and hardly can make until so terrible no one will buy>>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hainanese_chicken_rice

In fact, HAINANESE Chicken Rice is EVEN EASIER.  So, WHY not EVERYONE make a GOOD Chicken Rice??

haha is the joke, well maybe what she mean is that just a normal nothing special, or else just buy ready made thing to sell....this one will reduce the profit.

Hainanese rice require some good skill too, i do cook very often types of food, i even bake.... a lot people know how to cook, but the question is how they cook it, time, and tier own patent ways.
