I have a friend running this "consultancy company" .

Basically his job is to pull cable network with T1 ppl. Offer them a chance to invest into F&B. Huge capital so they can renovate nicely, use prime location, with actuarist do all the statistical data that made it almost guaranteed ROI at the very least. Then sell off the business at the peak to lock fhe profit. Rinse repeat.

He make damn good money. Very well versed with building up whatever F&B u want, just name it he will come up with proposal all. He said damn a lot of rich ppl in Malaysia didnt know what to do with the money, he just need to tell them "u feel like owning F&B? One of your grandchild seems to be very good fit to be owner."

If business ultra good withminimal effort, they keep it. If sales not growing, future not look bright. They sell it straight.

Main reason why nowadays u see damn a lot of highly rated review but food so so only. And F&B hype is greater than ever, and a lot of good shop will be good then suddenly after a while become shit then introduce all kind of weird food combo and lingkup right after.

Just imagine.

He took a cut from consultancy. Overseeing the start up.

He also own the company that sell kitchen stuff

He also got hand in the food ingredient.

Then hiring. To get foreign workers not easy, need cable besar.

Also cable to apply all the licenses. paperwork.

Marketing team.
