I give a simple calculation, how the red island shop can make money on the food for paying the 50 shareholders.

1 person return = RM300 per month
50 persons mean = RM15,000 per month
voucher RM100 per person means = 50 persons X RM100 = RM5,000
shop rental = RM5,000
man power = RM1,000 (one staff) maximum 10 staffs = RM10,000
water and electric per month = RM1,500

total red island cafe need to make profit per month = RM15,000 + RM5,000 + RM5,000 + RM10,000 + RM1,500 = RM36,500

for example pandan indah red island cafe

12 tables

assuming (full house) from 10am - 10pm all the tables are occupy by 4 persons
1 person spend about RM8 for one hour
48 persons spend about RM384 per hour

from 10am to 10pm
RM384 x 10 hours = RM3,840 sale
one month means RM3,840 x 30days = RM115,200 sale provided every day full house

if only 50% customer per month (not full house) means RM RM115,200 / 2 = RM57,600

how about only 30% of customers per day for a month = RM 34,560

Do u think they continue pay you ????

31 years is NO USE when the quality of food and service deteriorates. don't use the word handsomely when your "returns" has not been confirmed yours.


If I put 10k now in FD in a bank locked for 4 years and said I am get paid handsome now, that would be arrogant of me, as I havent receive my "handsome returns" yet, that bank might go bankrupt before I get to take my $$ out.

In the meantime, for your case, there's a risk of "Eat and get Pwned".

I am skeptical about the scheme. My reasoning is simple.

5% return per month will mean 60% return per annum and ROI within 20 months. It is unreasonable to expect such a ROI for F &B industry, or for most other investments or businesses (which are legal). Even some very famous Franchises have problems getting ROI within two years.

To sustain the payout of 5% for the first two years and 2.5% thereafter until the fifth year, the café will have to rack in unrealistically high profits. This will not happen.

At this point, either the scheme will have to reduce the payout rate, defer payouts or get more money from new investors. If the third option is taken, then there is little difference between the RIC concept and other Ponzi schemes.

Furthermore, the above analysis is done assuming that there is no misappropriation of funds or other fraudulent actions by the “Up lines”.

This IS a ponzi scheme. The business is slowly suffering losses, but the directors wanted a quick exit from the business.
So, they will start to show you their PAST track records, how well they have been doing and all. The problem here is, many people get attracted by track records but failed to think twice about the FUTURE prospects of the business.
After all the attracted parties have signed up, the director would have a HUGE party (a farewell party for himself) and flee the scene.
Well, it IS a lucrative business doing this, but it is at the same time illegal. What if you never get caught? tongue.gif
All such "easy money" schemes are nothing but mere rubbish. Money never fall from the sky, nor grow on trees.

Hi All! I'm new here.

This is what I understand about the Island Red Café proposal.

The café (business) is to be run by a Licensee. The offer is for you to participate as a shareholder of the Licensee’s business thru an agreement by paying for a single lot or multiples of lot @ RM6,600 per lot. You are promised a certain return over a number of years.

This is my personal opinion.

The tag “Now Everyone Can Franchise” is misleading. You do not own the business, rather you become a passive investor thru an agreement with no rights except to wait for the promised cash returns each month, assuming the business is profitable from the first day it is opened for business.

You do not hold any legal ownership by way of company shares. Should the business be profitable, the dividends are distributed among the company’s legal shareholders, (READ: this does not include you). If the business turns south, proceeds from disposal of the company’s assets are first claimed by the company’s shareholders, if anything is left, you will have to take private legal action to claim your promised monthly income.

Single & multiple lots @ RM6,600 are currently being offered thru the net with photos to justify the business. The money is to be banked into a third-party account. LOUD WARNING BELLS should ring, right about now!

If you are still interested in the Island Red Café concept, I propose you sign-up either as a Licensee or purchase shares directly from the Island Red Café holding/parent company. This way you're in charge of your own investments.

Cheers!

Hi,

Don't you realise this is a scam ?. The 2 Pandan Indah branches got less business nowe because everyone who knows they are running such a scheme will not want to be seen there.
Simple calculations tell you the business will not be able to make enough profit to pay the investors as promised. Such investment scams work tghis way - They take money from the newcomers to pay the old members. When there is not enough money from the old member, they will run away.

The famous investment scams within the last 2 years like IPC Shopping, Swisscash, Sunshine Empire, Mobil Wallet and Seaweed(just last year) have all stopped paying the investors.
The Stevens Corner new scheme also don't work well in KL now. They promised 5 new branches in 5 months but now only one new one. It don't work for KL people anymore, so now they go to smakller towns like Penang and Ipoh.

Please stop promoting. It's not worth selling off your friends and lose your own reputation this way. icon_idea.gif

Those people promoting in the Steven/s Corner thread(esp Siliconwiper) also run away already. No more face to message after being exposed by members here. rclxms.gif

hi there, got to know about this 'investment' a few months back from 1 of my colleague. At first i thought that its a good idea.. i mean, ROI in less than 2 years... but i didn't sign up as i couldn't afford to pay the sum to join. i heard the amount gets higher and higher as time goes by. anyway, a group of frens joined the introducer to the cafe and tested out the food. quite frankly, if u want me to compare it with old town... there's a clear difference as the food is not that tasty, but perhaps the price are cheaper too.
my colleague saw that i weren't able to join as an investor, so proposed the evoucher scheme to me. Pay duno how much to get a more value voucher to buy the food there. and 15% discount also i guess and asked if i would be interested, i turned him down. the reason being that i dun frequent such restaurant everyday. but he then said the voucher won't expires... well, to tell the truth, i dun like holding up my money.. even if that's not much really.. RM3xx in voucher... i dun go to these restaurant that often, even if its' McD or KFC voucher... i dun really think i wanted to anyway... smile.gif what do you guys think? how come the initial ppl who proposed the plan were not heard anymore?
