If it is where I think it is, and you're willing to try, then go for it. Though from the looks of the 2 places, I can't recall seeing them with full houses. Anyway, for an "all-you-can-eat" type of eatery, be sure to enforce an eat-in period (2-hrs is typical) and nil wastage policy. Otherwise, you'll be facing unnecessary losses.
Personally, for steamboat, I'd go back if the soup is nice, the food selection are to my liking, and the pricing is justifiable. Also taking into account ambiance and comfort. Compare to those two, as long as you offer better than what they have now, you'll naturally get the customers. And for starters, you may want to hold a short opening promo to draw people in. Once word of mouth gets around about a better shop, they'll come over automatically.
Possible problems, maybe with your 2 existing competitors. It's just speculation, but doesn't help to be ready for it. I don't think there'd be any other problems. The area will just get more dense once more condos get filled up in due time.
Haha, i think you have an idea where the place is already.
That place is really becoming denser, alot of condos are erecting. Go home also will jam for awhile.
Next time when you psss-by, remember to pay me visit. I'll give you 50% off
, if i managed to open. Just mention you're from LYN.
Last time, there is one steamboat (LMZ), open beside it with better environment, like fully air-conditioned etc, but end up closed down after one or two years. Dono is it because their signage too canggih, make ppl feel like it's super expensive, thats why no ppl go in. In fact, it's really expensive, been in there to try and see why no customers. They offer the same concept as the bigger crowd one, only soup hotpot style and ala-carte menu, but with higher price tag.
I'm also a lil bit worried when recalling that incident, however with a different concept, hopefully it will turn out well.
