Hi guys,

im new to this section, although i don't reply here very often, sometimes i take a peek too

a lil intro here, im a final year UTM student, as you guys can see, im doing online computer hardwares here, about 2 years now.
im a sc comp student, very horrible programmer, so-so designer(multimedia), and with very bad CGPA.
im in dilemma actually right now :

1) start working first? 2-3 years maybe?
2) anybody want 3rd class degree holderka
3) i want to maintain my current business AND to add one more, i dont see i can handle 3 jobs well
4) i hate working in the office, i really like entrepreneurship


cut things short, in my college now got many Arabs, foreign students, got one burger stall, and i saw it is always crowded. so one day im thinking why not open one kebab stall?
they don't prefer our local food. The kazakh's even cook their own foods
i love middle-eastern and western foods by the way.

so i want to know who ever have inputs on :

1) what the margin would be like? 10-15%? 25% possible?
2) what the cost of the machine?
3) should i look into franchise in the future? im not doing stall forever
4) how much can i give myself for a month? (salary/gaji)

My business plan :
1) start a kebab stall in front of my college
2) give a delivery service, they're scattered around campus area, and it is pretty big one


i did some googling and here's what i found :

kira-kira kebab

Malinja Doner Kebab
link1
link2

anybody have input on them? this one is the nearest supplier of roti pitta and the kebab's filling i can find here(Johor)

Bro, its a good business plan. But i suggest for you to find a business partner. It is essential to have one since its pretty tough for you to doing it all alone by yourself.

The market is there. Don't be too concern on the profit on your first few months. Just keep doing it. The money will follow later when your business has established.

TS, I pray for your success !!!!!! it'S INDEED a good business

Its a good business..don't just sell kebabs.. make sure you have various type of foods(french fries,burger,wedges,nugget). selling various type of food will attract more customers.

yup, im not planning to run it alone too. Too hectic on peak time(maybe la). But hard to find good business partner, because you know, some degree holder thought this stall-selling things is not a cup for them. "tak standardlah" lol
my parents might object too because its a waste for my degree?

thx but not starting yet, ill try to contact the supplier first

might add all that too

take KYROS KEBAB as an example....see and take note all their menus

i already selling sish kebab since 2000..now already 8years.. XD basicly it quite good biznez..

hi chow im turkish man i have allready set up orginal kebab stall in wangsa maju section 2 turkish kebab it going very well im selling totall setup kebab stall if you have time drop by here my number 0176140891 thank you

When I was in Brisbane i always eat this magic kebab. Its easy, fast and delicious.
Yeah, go on TS, its a good business i think.

any recipe or how to to make the kebab filling. i know westM got the supplier.. here in sarawak we got non.. so need to make the filling stick.. the big meat chicken thingy.. ourself.. got any tips?

just take common stall like ramly punye.
then u simply buy some needed bread, beef, vegetables and so on.
then u just sell with the price after u calculate all cost.

i dont think u should buy the franchise rights like from any established one such as Kyros.

People want to get Kyros has their reasons. They are established F&B franchise business and they menu are ready for you to work and earn money from the moment you setup your stall.

If you think you can simply just buy a bread, beef, vegetable and so on, you might as well don't setup the stall. Im sure you will close up your stall in a short time. What is the difference from your way with those kampung style burger? Cheap but lousy burger?

There's this new place called Project Doner in Dataran Sunway, Kota Damansara. They're very new but they sell really delicious doner kebab which they claim to resemble those sold in the UK.. and the prices are much lower compared to Kyr*s.
