good money but if you see the amount of work and stress he has everyday to work its kinda terrible in comparison TBH

i went once before, theres too many orders for just a small stall. it took almost 1hr for him to serve my table's orders. and he was apologising most of the time for the super slow service

while his nasi lemak is good, its not worth 1hr wait mang

50% is way too high, net profit of 20%-30% is considered upper bracket already.

Nett profit of 10-15% is more common

Frankly if F&B revenue you're making 40k/month, its cukup makan only.

I just ate there this week. The guy PR very good. He even comes up to your table and chats with you and asks for your feedback. NL ok la. I personally feel too many different stuffs on the plate for their popular sets, which mixes up the flavors. But individually, all tastes good.

He rent stall only not shop, at the price he’s selling possible ba.

Income tax for business and for work not the same. If he pannai, can pay minimal income tax.

F&B profit margin really depends on the business model, this guy runs a stall and he himself runs it, not entirely just hire worker run. So margin should be quite good.

It can’t be net profit of RM40K per month from a stall.Gross profit most likely, estimated 60K revenue, average 2K per day, average cheque around RM20, that’s 100 unit of nasi lemak per day and less food cost of assuming 35% will land nicely RM39K gross margin. Remember he only selling between 10AM-2:30PM meaning only hitting on lunch crowd.

even gross profit also kinda high, i think the RM40k is just revenue, gross profit margin 50% then his gross profit is around RM20k. Minus off his fixed cost of one staff wages of 2k and stall rental around 1.5-2k, the rest is his earning.

unless youre the type who already set in mind where waiting >20min for a meal no matter how god tier it could be is not worth it

Why the hell would you wanna pay yourself a salary and be subjected to income tax instead of just taking business profits and pay business tax which rates are lower and more things you can claim for?
