We aren't in a recession, housing keep going up, yet so many F&B closing down ? I'm highly confused.

U can't compete with the PRC.

They can work 996. They save a lot on manpower.
They can work under any poor or unsafe conditions.
They could somehow game the system and employ purely PRC.

It's unfair competition, something the AMDK been fighting against.
No they are competing among themselves not only with local owned business (to a lesser extent because they are selling mostly PRC food). Many of them can’t make it and are either on the verge of closing or have closed down. The reduction in PRC coming to SG to work also accelerated their declines.

I tot median salary is so high ? Why are F&B closing down when we have record 6 million people?

They dun have to eat anymore ?

My personal take ? Ever since the JB customs become like MRT gentry everyone is going to JB to eat big ticket meals.

What chu all think ?

FNB closing down more like hawker closing down due to selling at restaurant price.

King of fried rice from 1 stall to around may be 20.

Nasi ayam taliwang from 1 stall to 10 over of stall.

Aston do from coffee shop to chain of restaurant.

The free market is a brutal one...

If can't survive F&B, that means you failed to differentiate yourself, failed to control your cost, and got priced out. I have been to so many places, and have always seen so many hawkers and eateries entertaining long queues. F&B industry is always very saturated, so closures would be common.
