Which is better, food stall franchising or putting up own cafe/restaurant? Hehe
Both are complicated...you need to consider many things especially rental/lease and management because you need to do both full time (unless you have partner). I think franchise is better especially if you're looking at F&B like 7 eleven.

Hello Mainda. I think depends on your situation and what u like ya..Need to consider budget too. If u want more control over business and want to be hands on, can start your own cafe/resto.

One very important rule when starting your own business is your own expectations of the returns.
Be down to earth, and you'll be fine.
Agree. I think friend didnt prepare very well in business. Should have expected various factors esp returns and come up with solution. So sad that business only lasted few months to stop further loss 😓

Here are some key points to consider when starting a business based on your passion and experience:


Passion and Purpose: Passion fuels your motivation and determination to succeed, especially when facing challenges. Identify what you’re truly passionate about and align your business idea with that passion. A business driven by a strong sense of purpose often stands a better chance of thriving.

Market Research: While passion is important, it’s essential to conduct thorough market research. Ensure there is a demand for the products or services you intend to offer. Your passion should align with a viable business opportunity.

Experience and Knowledge: Having experience or knowledge in the industry or field you’re entering can give you a competitive edge. It allows you to better understand industry trends, customer needs, and potential pitfalls. If you lack experience, consider partnering with someone who has relevant expertise.

Business Plan: Develop a comprehensive business plan that outlines your goals, target market, competition, marketing strategy, and financial projections. A well-thought-out plan is essential for guiding your business forward and securing financing if needed.

Networking: Connect with others in your industry or field. Networking can provide valuable insights, mentorship, and potential partnerships or collaborations. Attend industry events, join relevant associations, and engage with professionals in your niche.

Continuous Learning: Stay updated with industry trends, technologies, and best practices. Continuous learning and improvement are crucial for long-term success. Consider taking courses, attending workshops, or reading industry publications.

Financial Management: Properly manage your finances. Ensure you have a clear understanding of your business’s financial aspects, including budgeting, cash flow management, and financial forecasting.

Adaptability: Be prepared to adapt and pivot as needed. The business landscape can change rapidly, and your ability to respond to new challenges and opportunities is vital.

Customer-Centric Approach: Focus on meeting your customers’ needs and providing exceptional value. Building strong relationships with your customers can lead to repeat business and positive word-of-mouth referrals.

Resilience: Entrepreneurship can be challenging, and setbacks are common. Maintain a resilient mindset to overcome obstacles and setbacks. Learn from failures and use them as opportunities for growth.

Starting a business based on passion and experience can be a fulfilling and rewarding journey. However, it’s essential to combine your passion with sound business strategies and a strong understanding of your chosen industry to increase your chances of success.

I currently run my own small web development company. From personal experience, online businesses are a good go-to, considering how much everything is digitalized these days.
Wow! Are you currently hiring? 😂

See if there is a demand. Else it is a big risk as there are a lot of hidden cost.

Hi, I hope to gather some ideas on the current plan that I have in mind. I have always wanted to start on something but just don't have the ideas/chance.

Now I have this idea. I am thinking of a bakery shop. Don't know if that is feasible?

I just thought that probably I could get some ideas from the KS parents here. Any comments will be most welcomed. Thank you in advance.

Don't know if we are having a bit too many bakery shops currently? I am thinking if can(but still open to it), I prefer not to go for franchise.. so I will have problem of getting a 'good and loyal' baker, I believe.. so how to maintain the consistency should the baker keep jumping ship? How do I develop a house brand? What is the expected set up costs and monthly operating overhead? Which is a better location to go for? etc etc...

Yeah, I have too many questions 😉

Also, it would be nice if you could recommend your favourite brands for me to do some homework first..
May I check if you have started the bakery shop?

While it looks like we’re back on track, too many small businesses won’t be able to bounce back on their own.

I deem that the key to success would be the biz nature, control of total cost, development of sales channels etc.


Nowadays, leverage on online platform could save you a lot of fund on rental…think deeply about the sustainability of your biz, identify the right customer segmentation, make sure you know who would be your customers, where are they, how to reach out to them…gather data, do a lot research before your really put your fund to start on it…but after all, you must be smart about ensuring reasonable margin to secure your profit…i hope it helps

side note, i have a new biz idea too and that’s why i am here in this forum…i would like to promote the product here too…wish me good luck too!

I would suggest opening up a coffee shop

This is one of my dreams, to have my own coffee shop but it is hard to begin these days 😢

Would a coffeeshop business be like a real estate business? Whereby one usually owns the drinks stall and rent out the rest to the different hawkers?
