[KNNBCCB]

price adjustment nia mah...

huat ahhhhhh

 

[ray_of_hope]

Better ask the legions of unemployed sinkies to become roadside barbers charging 6 bucks... that is, if they can cut straight.

 

[Cestbon]

For JB all half price compare to SG for
1. Hair cut
2. Message
3. Petrol

Other on average 30% cheaper.

As more & more sinkies are going botak by the day; QB's decision is quite right..they are not going to wait till that moment when they have no more hairs to cut ..

10 bucks how to survive? At most make 200 bucks a day on average. 6k a month. Rent? Wages? Utilities?

I wonder how those knick knacks shop make money in shopping centres..

You are wrong. Go to any qb house and start counting. Average open 11 hours everyday. Two to four hairstylists on duty. Seldom you see any hairstylist idling, and always at least one or two customers inside. Average haircut time around 15 min, including clean up and a bit of idling time.

So 11 x 2 x 4 = 88 customers a day, or $880 a day revenue. That's almost $27000 PM gross revenue.

Net profit per outlet easily $7k PM.

I doubt those QB House hair stylists earn much themselves. Most of the profits are channeled up to the bosses further up the food chain.

 

[chupacabra]

I doubt this. 88 customers for every outlet per day. Got alot of other hair salons and barbers around. I do not think the workers there are robots and want to chong and cut as many customers in the 11 hrs.

 

[The_Hypocrite]

wont the barbers get paid per head???so if they work 4 hrs,,and got 20 customers,,they get paid for 20 customers,,,but think about it,,on yr feet the wholetime,, really damn tiring man

I think they are paid quite alright, between 2 - 4 k PM. Low basic, plus commission per cut, hence the need for the card as a counter. They look fairly happy, and in this biz, skill and attitude are important, so the company should be doing much better than smrt on this aspect.

The manpower cost per outlet is around 10 to 14k, rental at 4k and the rest for miscellaneous costs and depreciation. Good business with so many outlets.

They rotate as is tiring job and once tired, easy to piss of customer. Think each work around six to eight hrs per day, max.

There are 5.3 mil people here. Just count the males, 2.6 mil, each need on average 7 hair cuts per year, that's about 15 mil haircuts per yr, or $150 mil if only spend $10 per cut. Say qb house has 10% of market, that's a revenue of $15mil a yr. each outlet makes revenue of $300k pa, so they can have 50 outlets in sg.

Sucking Service Is Good

20% increase, I'm done with QB

Not many barbers will do the sucking on your head. But, they do give you a dirty comb to bring back home.

How do you do your maths? What formula you use for 11 x 2 x 4?

Re: Sucking Service Is Good

The cheapest and best hair-cut is from SNIP STREET.

Only $3.80

Unbeatable. They've branches in most estates.

Controversial Income

Got another controversy about the new found Barber Manager or Taxi CEO formula ? Do we get see it any higher ?

 

[watchman8]

11 hrs, 2 stylists, 4 customers per stylist per hr.

 

[Sinkie]

11 hrs, 2 stylists, 4 customers per stylist per hr.

1.5 customers per stylist per hr will be more accurate.

Time and again, I see no customer or just 1 customer worked on by 1 stylist.

In any case, I've never got inside QB or EC to have a hair-cut. I've right-graded from shopping centre upmarket hair salons to Malay barber shop and now to Snip Street after I discovered its $3.80 per hair cut.

Also, at Snip Street, I can make friends with the PRC cashier or the female hair stylist, which all of them come from Malaysia.

 

[Devil_Within]

why you people cut hair never go salon one, salon has professional stylists.

Faggot Tony-lanjiaoless-chat, why you always want me to fuck for you? Oh, you got no prick, that's why. So you still haven't thank me leh. Why you so sinkie?

 

[Kinana]

Your observation is very similar to many people who have told me that they often see NO customers in Osim outlets. Yet, Osim is one of the most profitable local retailers in S'pore, and its massage chairs are still in great demand.

Osim sells one chair for thousands. QB house sells haircuts for 10 bucks. How to compare?
I tried out Snip Avenue. OK leh.
