high rental & operating cost ....

thats why malaysia so many roadside stall .... no rental no tax .... hnnnnnghhhh

The rental is killing the F&B, just see Hai Di Lao also close down clark quay outlet

As i know government punya hawker stall pun can bid until $3-10k depending on location, singapore housing inflation is so freaking high

Just capitalist at work, F&B is tough to begin with, in SG with the high operational cost (rental & labour) gg ... Malaysia also can see many F&B cafe/ restaurant/ even fast food chain come and go

no originality.
collect all foods from over the world and price it premium.

Daffak, like this oso can simpang to sarahan bajingan cinadapigs? Dude, have you ever considered charging rental fees at them for staying in your head 24/7/365? 🤣🤣🤣

so ironic when the owners became Singapore richest and bought property.

AI. Owai wrong topic

SG F&B prices reli cant make it

it might seem expensive, but actually their rent even more expensive.

JB food easily can be similar price , around 80 % of SG price . steam fish in SG dai chow cost only around SGD 20, but in JB order one steam fish at normal non airconditioned dai chow is RM60 and above.

but the difference? JB rent , salaries are way cheaper. so theyre paying rent and salary at 30-50% but charging at 80% of SG price.

singaporean come to JB got mindset of whatever must be cheap , so they willingly spend in JB ... sometimes dun even know that the price is just slightly cheaper.... or actually even more expensive. but with that mindset, they splurge , because already set in their mind today i go in JB i go money changer exchange SGD 500 to MYR 1500+ , must spend it all.

singapore hawker, one bowl sell 4 to 5 dollars, rent 3-10k

JB hawker, one bowl sell rm7 to rm13, rent 3-10k (overestimation to make it "fair")

which one win?

better become cleaner. guaranteed 1 mth bonus

Even the existing hawker also cannot tahan at Singapore, just see how many F&B closed down compare to JB side.

Too much of money flowing into Singapore, until recently my auntie saw angmoh expatriate appear in/out at her HDB condo last year, private side condo rental increase is freaking high

Sorry if hawker rent from government at $3k, cannot hire foreigners, must hire singaporean or PR. Short of manpower also killing them and they can't produce much, most of it hire one staff or one leg kick type of hawker. That's why the normal kopitiam is charging $8-10k per stall and able to hire Malaysian to work, in order to speed up the process.

Plus their gas has increase by 140%, Malaysia still can use the subsidize gas at RM28 for 14kg. Malaysia still can use foreign workers with about RM2k+ salary, Singapore one they limit the foreigners working permit.

Now Singapore is hoping RTS to build asap to export their property inflation into JB, once this RTS out, those F&B and service sector in singapore confirm lagi jialat, they will cross to JB and spend money there more often.

let me guess, greedy landlords right?

delivery also dying

actually my thinking is , once RTS up, initially the service and F&B sector will be hit

then business start not renting properties

landlord start to pee in their pants coz need to service loans but no rental income coming in

then by default the rent will come down


btw how come stals are able to hire malaysian to work alongside 1 local boss?

i tot need to hire 2 locals for 1 malaysian?

Same money cannot fill tummy.

No, no 2nd time.

Yes u are right, 2 local staff = 1 working permit quota. But for one singapore boss can hire only 1 working permit workers.

Partially also because Singapore tighten their immigrant rules just to protect the singapore citizen, end up the salary inflation hit them too, chicken and egg problem. Back in year 2022 when Malaysia bukake, shortage of workers until salary spike up so high. Now everything stabilize with the influx of foreign workers.

Kek.
RTS = GG sg locals.

For every F&B business that closes in sinkieland, another opens.

F&B is fairly structured. 120 hawker centres (and new ones open with new HDB estates). Rest are restaurants either at certain popular locations or at malls.

Imagine 1 hour waiting time for Chagee which is common at popular malls. Its really dependent on location and trends. Holland V used to be very popular in the past, now tastebuds shift elsewhere.
