Food Cart Business on the Go

Posted by Prettyfly_pinay in Business News on 25th April 2007

food_cart_business.jpgSmall capital, easy set-up and a good chance of success are just some of the reason why Food Cart Business is thriving in the Philippines. If you will look at the market trend today, Food cart business is the choice of most aspiring entreprenuers.

A mobile food cart is a business where you can start on low capital ranging from P30,000 to a maximum of P300,000. But it could be a little lower though, depending on how you will put it up –by franchise or on your own. Some companies offer food cart franchise for as low as P10,000 per package that includes, the cart, product, uniform for the crew and training.

Over the last few years, food service carts have sprouted all over the metro— from MRT and LRT station, malls, sidewalks,church, schools, markets etc.- name it and for sure, you’ll find a food cart there. Today, there are about 800 different food cart formats available in the market–pizza, waffle, fishball, siomai, pearl shakes, baked goodies, rice in a box, hotdog and a lot more.

Industry estimates that more than P1 billion in sales is turned over every year from the food cart businesses. With this amount, no doubt that Food Cart is the hot business in the market!

But, wait before you jump on the bandwagon, you need to consider a lot things. First is your cart–which is the basic component of the business.The cart must have a colorful and bold big signage to catch the attention of the customers. Your cart is a self-contained kitchen, so you need to keep it clean all the times. The sturdier the cart the better, since it is mobile, it will be easier to go from one location to another.

If you have a nice cart, then the next thing to consider is Location. Location,plays a big part in the success of your food cart or in any business for that matter. You have to think of a good location where people frequents and can see what you are selling. But not all places cramming with people is a good venue just like MRT and LRT station.

“Do not automatically equate foot traffic with sales, as people here are always in a hurry to get to their destination; they don’t notice what is around them,” says Mark So, CEO of Businessmaker Academy.

Lastly, you have to match your good location with the right product at a good price. People will keep coming back on you food cart biz, if you sell good quality products at a very reasonable price. When you are just starting your business don’t be too greedy with the profit and be prepare for setbacks. Be creative and update your products every two months so that your customers will not get tired of what you sell. Always think that there are a lot of competition in the market.

So, now, are you ready to join the food cart business craze?

    GOOD DAY!
    To someone who’s looking for a pearl shake franchise check out the site, www.cupnstraw.blogspot.com. I’ve been in Davao just last week and found out that Cup & Straw really is existing. Really thought that it’s not existing! IN FAIRNESS.. It’s more delicious and affordable than the popular Zagu. Try it to believe!
