3 hrs of open stall dun mean 3 hrs of work laThis mere honest & frank statement from him is why the insignificant nobody me is advocating for strong support measures for the hawker trade, to teach them on PRODUCTIVITY and much much more... to help them & leave none behind -from high or low SES background, educated or uneducated, as our courageous & intelligent Founding & forefathers had done to give ALL an honest EQUAL chance in life based upon realities.
Most whom are courageous enough to venture into the Hawker trade would know long hrs would be needed, as well as much marketing & interactions with SUPPLY chains would be needed.
A mere 3 hrs, 75 bowls served at est $3/bowl will only garner $225 per day or above est $6000/mth of GROSS profits if he opens every day per month. And even with a 50% drop, it would mean still GROSS profit of $3000/mth. After the overhead costs - rental, products, etc..he would still have a nett profit of $1,500/mth, for 3 hours daily work.
3 hrs per day, so what does he do with the other avg 5hrs per day that our fellow hardworking citizens do with 8hrs & more to contribute to society????
No need prep work? Cooking time?
