The tragic tale of how a startup folded barely even before it began

They made several tragically stupid decisions :
1. go into F&B at a
2. shitty location
3. during a pandemic
4. while still studying. That is stupidity to the power of 4.
Learn from experience.
Maybe they thought they got a good deal in tental. Plus cheap supplies of booze. Its the right location then for weekend party. May need A good bouncer though.
 
My little bar is (or rather was) located at 29 Dalhousie Lane, on the outskirts of Little India

"little bar" on the outskirts of "Little India" - you don't need to read further to understand why it folded........................... :o-o::eek::biggrin:
 
It’s been 5.5 months since I left and the malicious dogs cottonmouth aka glockman aka Jeremy Quek as per hint by jw5 (and sweetiepie etc) are allowed by Leongsam to smear and insult me slut whore mistress with no consequence. I have to inform Leongsam to delete the posts and sometimes to no avail and i am sick of it. So Leongsam did not follow his deal to get his moderators to remove posts speaking ill of me so here I am carrying out my vow to spam the forum if cottonmouth is allowed to spam in my threads without consequence - which cottonmouth obviously did and was allowed - and he has been allowed in this 5.5 months no need follow his agreement to stop insulting me and continued to smear and insult me whore just yesterday and insulted me have std one day before that and everyday with no consequence.

Another thing to highlight is I realised after I left forum that @strawberry = @kaninabuchaojibye and I already know @nightsafari = @kaninabuchaojibye i.e despicable nightsafari is the strawberry that started the thread Who is Ginfreely sugar daddy and then keep upping it on the pretext of asking about strawberry. No wonder so pretentious always pretending to like my Hokkien threads while stabbing me non stop.

It's true that navigating the world of F&B can be tricky, especially with ever-changing regulations. Your story serves as a valuable lesson about the importance of compliance but also the need for some flexibility, especially for first-time business owners. It's unfortunate that you had to face such harsh consequences, but it sounds like you handled it with resilience and determination. If you're looking for ways to bounce back and improve your business, you might want to explore CRM map integration. It can help you better manage your operations and customer interactions, which could be crucial in the competitive F&B industry.
 
I’ve been in the restaurant business too, and those early days can be a rollercoaster, especially with all the restrictions. It’s tough when rules change so suddenly, and even tougher when you’ve just invested so much into something you love.

A few years back, my cousin and I started a little café, thinking we’d ride the wave of the new normal as well. We poured in our savings, took loans from family, and just hoped for the best. It was a wild ride with unexpected challenges. The rules seemed to change overnight, and we were trying our best to keep up while staying afloat.

We had to get creative with marketing and communication, making sure to reach out to our customers in every way possible. That’s when I stumbled upon Sugar Customer Relationship Management. It made organizing everything way easier and helped us stay connected with our customers. Using something like that might be helpful for your bar, too. It's super user-friendly and kept us organized.

I know a single mum who was a successful property agent. Then she spent on renting a prime location space, renovating a bakery shop and purchasing baking machines ovens etc. Haven't even open shop already close shop becos the chief baker played her out. She herself doesn't know about bakering at all. I think probably 300k+ or more down the drain.
People open loti tiam she also want to open. And worse to rely on strangers chief.
Most successful loti tiam owners are from mudland.

Bakery shop is a heavy investment if you are the one to produce the bread and cake yourself in the back kitchen.
