[Sg] - Non-Muslim pretzel stall owner at Geylang Serai Bazaar is shocked and struggling to break even with more than S$50k operating costs in 2 weeks

[CPTMiller]

The F&B hawkers make at least $100,000 in sales during the ramadan bazaar. Even with a $50k costs, they will all walk away much richer at the end of the bazaar.

Are you one of them earning?

Our CCC has organized ramadan bazaars in the past. We're aware of how much the F&B bazaar tenants make each year on average. The rent may seem high to outsiders, but the F&B tenants mostly make sizeable profits. That's why many of them return yearly.

Well. I did not doubt it can be profitable. But how much.

Profitable enough that there will be healthy demand for stall rental in the following year.

Maybe so, but you elbow out the local family home cooked food as for them, setting up stall is just to earn some income for raya. They are not into mass manufactured food.

If you want to earn some side income, do it out of your home kitchen instead.

You need a place to sell the product.

You can advertise on whatsapp, facebook or tiktok. Bazaars are for serious F&B business, not side income losers.

The whole idea of ramadan bazaar is for local community to share and sell their home cook meal.

That's your idea.

It's also a legally gray area to sell your home cooked food to the public. Your home business is not held to the same standards of hygiene as established restaurants and hawker stalls, all of which incurred additional business costs for hygiene maintenance.

What was the rental rates for the booth?

I kind of pity this girl. It's the fucking sky high rentals and it's the same situation in every pasar malams. Young FNB entrepreneurs like her should just do her business online or she better off rent a proper shop instead of renting a stall for a month and be at the mercy of these bloodsucking bazaar landlords.

The rent should only be about a $1,000.00
Old Fart Lee still wants to whack Sinkies from beyond.
