Kung Franchise ano anu ba kasama sa franchise fee at magkano? ROI ok naman ba? 'hope you don't mind sharing :hypocritesmiley:<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pre, It was my own concept,actually dapat ang original nun e french fries and squidballs,kikiam etch kaya lang later on e tinanggal ko yung fries kasi di mabenta dun sa pwesto ko.Currently nga footlong, hamburger , hotdogs , quail eggs ,kikiam , squidball , chicken ball,shrimball at swempre sago't gulaman.ROI ko is about 30% so sa isang araw I earn about 500 - 750 on the average,pag malakas it could reach 1k and I operate 30days a month. Puhunan ko was about 50k with the cart and supplies when I started about 3 years ago.Today siguro baka 75k na.Sa bagay you can get seconhand carts na quality pa.May kilala ako sa may divisoria na gumagawa nun. Right now ang dilema ko is pwesto, I would prefer places na malapit sa mga public markets and other areas with high pedestrian traffic.Actually marami pa akong concept with foodcarts kaya lang sa ngayon gusto ko munang paandarin yung 2 remaining carts ko.I will be willing to help you guys set up your own o kaya joint venture tayo. :cool: :boo: Quote Link to comment

Pinoymale Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hi everyone, Like most people working for a company, I don't plan on being an employee for very long. I'm currently thinking of resigning from my work and either getting a franchise or starting my own business. I'd like to get your opinion on this. Opinions/tips/advices from franchisees and people who started their own business are very much welcome. Quote Link to comment
solar_titanium Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 That makes two of us wondering on where to begin in putting up a franchise outlet, which companies could we most benefit from, etc.? Anyone among you who are already into franchise business? Quote Link to comment

If your average is 500/day for thirty days that would only give you 15K. Less expenses like manpower (assuming minimum wage for 1 staff? - around 7K?) so that's roughly about 8K. Less your food costs and other operating expense how much mga NET mo? Is it worth it? Does it require much attention, I mean can you still keep a day job o kailangan ba tutukan 'to when you have one? Thanks for your offer I'm actually giving this serious thoughts . Will let you know bro! :cool: Quote Link to comment

Macy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Much as there is no current topic addressing the same, we feel that this question is best posted and addressed by the Entrepreneurs so we are now merging this thread into that one. Quote Link to comment
arkingz Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 hi! tanong ko lng magkano pagawa dun sa kakilala mo sa divisoria? thanks!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pre, You can get as low as 15k (seconhand) but yung brand new is from 25k to 60k depende sa klase ng cart mo.Yung high end na price pang mall na itsura nun. :mtc: :mtc: Quote Link to comment
solar_titanium Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Uy perfect timing. Im also planning to setup my own food cart business. Hinahabol ko xmas season para timing. Ive learned a lot from the preious posts. My only question is... do you need a permit if you're setting it up on a public place? Or ok lang kahit verbal consent? Do you need to always bring the cart back home at the end of the day o ikakadena mo na lang sa pwesto? Quote Link to comment
