@Ody_2004  I agree. Even $8k per month, you will barely pull through the month.

$8k per month must see how many mouths you need to feed. If single $8k should be quite good. But if you need to feed 5 people in the house, then maybe barely enough.

well it's just pure economics. 

I sorta find the people who have more upmarket concepts find it very tough. 
If it's cheap, then it low margin then there's infinite competition. Like some people can eat their morning noodles/beehoon like 3-4 times a week from the same stall. Cai peng relies on the above. 

No one eat korean/jap/fancy concept food everyday, so they have to go higher margin to make up for less repeat daily customers. So it becomes very hard to balance their product for the demand.
Only CBD area or those areas beside a large pool of office workers has enough demand to meet such supply.

Anyway if they underestimate the market, they will just close down period lor. No need to say they are greedy or what lah. It's just economics. 

Of course if u see them driving in with contis etc, haha feel free.  😄

 

the coffeeshop at my parents, the lady boss drives S class. always sit in the car and read newspaper and she owns more than half the stalls there... 

It's good that you think everything is pure economics... but yeah, not everyone practice that. like i mentioned, they can just charge higher when there is no competition around. its business but i pity alot of the old folks there who frequent the coffeeshop.

Old folks should cook and eat at home more often. Cheaper and healthier. And you may see the lady boss downgrade to C class....

CAN lah! Govt NPARK spent so much money to beautify the park and beach leh... bring kids to beach loh.. still got attached toilet to clean up leh! where to find? whahahahahha...

for adult can go Sentosa Siloso for Boobsbastic view.. cheap cheap lah! whahahaha

That's a really good idea.

Kids these days is all video games and handphone and Ipad.

And fast food.

I think I will take the kids for a walk in the park and a stroll on the beach

and pack a few sandwiches and plain water.

Give the kids a healthy lifestyle and some fresh air and sunshine.

Bring joy into their lives.

Who wants the stress of modern day life?

Handphones and Ipads and Metficks and cinema and fast food and popcorn and ice cream and burgers and fried chicken?

Downgrade from S class to C class a bit too much. Maybe the lady boss would degrade to E class first. Lol.

[Beregond]

ok la.

take this as a chance to eat healthy 

big fish big meat every day die faster also😂

[Jamesc]

This remind me of my colleague who said last time she dating her bf now

husband he like to take her parks one.

She says she don't like so hot and got mosquitoes.

I said a girl like her he should at least bring her to H81.

She hasn't spoken to me since.

Well, then she's lucky that she managed to find a coffeeshop that has enough customer base/physical moat in terms of location to support such an endeavour.
And her balance of charging enough so that the stalls don't just outright cancel their tenancy or are turned off not to start in the first place.

Who don't want to be a landlord? I also want to be lol.

 

But not every coffeeshop will be raking in the money. There's one coffeeshop in yishun near the Yishun Park. Two master tenants died over several years. Only finally a 3rd master tenant managed to change it to a halal dinner/supper muslim stall coffeshop.

Some of the many older estates neighbourhood centers in AMK whereby entire rows of shops are just shuttered up. Or 1 shop is open out of 5.
Where i used to stay, there are several other coffeeshops with shuttered stalls or only half the stalls operating in new BTOs. And some of them are run by experienced coffeeshop owners like Broadway etc.

Some people “forget” that while they borrow a million from the bank over 30yrs, they dont exactly pay back only a million but easily closer to two million or more due to the interest charged over the years
 

in addition interest is front loaded onto the mortgage instalments meaning that in the early years, your monthly instalment goes a lot more into servicing the interest than repaying the principal itself.
