My neighbour son wants to open F&B business but their parents ask him to 躺平

[congo9]

They become good project managers.
Not a good doer but project managing.

More businesses will go bankrupt next year once Train to Jaybee is operating at full capacity

This is true .... alot ppl go jb spend money

 

[syed putra]

His parents reasons is that his f and business will sure bankrupt due to high rental.

So it is better for their son to rest at home at do nothing.

Cost of resting at home and do nothing is actually lower than f and b rental cost


Do you think his parents reasons are ok ?

Malays have similar thoughts. Better relac than bankrupt.

Of course if it's allowed, can try food truck. Go to parking lot where PAP will not harass.

The parents are enlightened.

 

[NanoRay]

I would have advised my children against opening f&b.
The chances for success is too low vs the risk.
Want to open business must be a niche market eg secret tunnel dating service.

I suggest a turn-key wedding, banquet, honeymoon and annulment package. Can work with catering, travel and [law firm] to provide one-stop service.

Very niche market.

Cannot simply give money without skill and experience. If son want to open a restaurant, he should start from the bottom first. Best restaurant value for money are where owner are the cook.

That is correct

 

[k1976]

Yes, rest at home give him 5k spend and that it.
Give him money open F&B is a monthly expenses + labor costs + unending bills

Wow…Best Parent Award 2026

My neighbour told his son:
你啥都不必做
就是不要乱花钱，乱做生意
U don’t need to work, just remember not to spend money unnecessarily and don’t do any businesses

Yes better play guitar and enjoy life under the coconut tree than stress over financial bills.

and don't anyhow do any businesses.

 

[searcher1]

I think their reasons are valid
Rest at home: cost is $2000

Rental is $8000

Which is cheaper ?

If the location at Tampines, it might be $52,000 rental per month !
