Next 6-9 months will see  quite a number of newly opened F&B shops to cease operation.

QUOTE(keybearer @ Feb 23 2023, 09:09 PM)
F&B franchise here, roughly 15-30% slower. Though heard of some franchise restaurant getting up to 50-60% slower so unker just cukurrr as long as can pay off loan.

Major drop from FP, Grab & Shopeefood platform though.

Due raised in minimum wages, restricted foreign labourer, raw material price rise, etc, some established eateries already started to reduce their outlets.

What to do with construction? U mean machine?
My line, after mco knn everything increase. 1 years 3 4 time price increase.

QUOTE(Platinum Sand @ Feb 24 2023, 09:53 AM)
No worries. Anyway I found recent years construction project also shrink, less project.  construction raw materials also increase .(recently just renovate my house). Those G5-G7 not so active like last time .
*
Due to materials price rise, shortage of labourers, huge increase in wages, slow in gomen approval, etc, many projects are on hold, deferred or cancelled.

Gomen servants and glc employees are immune from economic recession e.g ioi city mall will remain vibrant regardless.

Typical in f&b business, when a business is popular and profitable, many will open but few will be around in 3 years time.

Significant revenue drop for the last 3 months, and things are still not looking well next year in terms of business costs.

user posted image

for context, in F&B but last 3 months (Sep-Nov) is worse than fasting month (Mar-Apr)
*
Rise in minimum wage next year will likely induce higher cost increases.

Last major raise was Early 2022 (almost 3 years already), around RM1 adjustment on average.

Early this year got <RM0.50 cents on small selection of items (choc-based products due to cocoa price surge), but that's only around 15% of the menu.

No, no & no. I guess I should also mention, residing in neighborhood mall, one of the more affordable supermarket chains serving grocery needs.
Mall foot traffic declined noticeably so it's affecting every tenants also, some saying almost as bad as Covid years.

Anecdotal evidence also seeing less full grocery trolley carts during payday periods, but that's only personal sampling size so confirmation bias I guess.
*
Fewer visitors to the neighbourhood mall, could mean competing mall took away some business.

QUOTE(silverhawk @ Dec 2 2024, 12:15 AM)
Wow, pretty much mirror mine, and yes sales now worse than typical fasting month in previous years.
*
May mean overall consumers spending has declined.

QUOTE(ze2 @ Dec 2 2024, 08:22 AM)
With eInv coming, it is bleak out there. Many companies reported lower revenues.
*
The next or coming economic recession is unlike previous, likely caused by reduced consumers spending.

Few of my regular F&B customer already close down.
Notice so long didn't receive order from them, so went and Google Map search for their establishments and many of their outlets show "Closed permanently".
Then open up the boss whatsapp and notice the photo already changed to a Malay lady photo, even their number changed.

Maybe they earned enough and retired? Maybe they closed down and venture into other business?
*
F&B business has low barrier of entry, many are started by novices, about 90% of them failed in the first 3 years.

Gomen servants pay is financed by mgs, tax revenue and money printing, is detrimental to economic activities in different ways.

QUOTE(knumskul @ May 29 2025, 06:09 PM)
This. I see more cars, house renovation, travelling etc. than previously.

But also see more "for sale/rent" shop lots around these days. Even shops that been operating there forever.
Even some malls have more vacant space recently.

Gomen servants and glc employees are not affected by aggregate economy or market sentiment.
