S’pore F&B owner slams home-based sellers, claims they’re ‘destroying other people’s rice bowls’

[shikoo]

Jason shared with MS News that he had once operated an HBB F&B model himself.

“I pivoted to home-based business (HBB) to pay off the rent for the new house and the kid. Because I felt it was so unfair for my wife to be paying and shouldering alone for 1-2 months. So I did HBB for 2 days a week for lunch. This was 2 years ago.”

But he eventually stopped because he couldn’t shake the guilt.

“Legitimate local businesses under my block are suffering, from seven stalls now close until only left two stalls,” he said.

“I don’t want to sleep with a regret knowing I’m also one of those contributing to destroying our food culture.”

Jason is now running a grain bowl hawker stall in a canteen.

I’m sorry sir, but you are being thorougly naive.

You had a good thing going and you let the worst thing a businessman could have - compassion - get to you.

You are all competing for a limited resource - customers. If you don’t die, they do. HTFU and do what you need to support your own family. Let other worry about their own circumstances. They will adapt or go extinct.

I don't buy drink from those HBB,some of their pricing is around the same as retail shop.

 

[buttbERry]

is that really so?

What's the biggest cost for F&B today? Rental and manpower cost.

If he's not managing this better than others he's not succeeding because he's a bad cook but because of bad business acumen.
