There's also the option of which kind of stove you want: charcoal, gas or electric.

Charcoal stove steamboat is hard to find these days. I prefer gas stoves. Don't like electric stoves.

Best steamboat experience I ever had was at Whampoa hawker centre, back in the 1980s. I was still a small boy back then, but I'll never forget the food and the name 'Whampoa'. Now 20+ years have passed, so I can't guarantee the food is still great.

There are also many types of steamboat. Authentic Sinkie Chinese steamboat, Thai tom yam steamboat (Coca), Korean BBQ+steamboat, Sichuan Mala spicy steamboat, fish head steamboat, Japanese shabu shabu.

Thanks for all the feedback

If you're going to put in a ton of effort getting a business up and running, don't waste all the hard work on a run-of-the-mill enterprise where adding value to the business is next to impossible.

Restaurants come and go. If you're good at what you do, you'll make money while you're slogging away but at the end of the day, you have nothing to show for it. Your lease will expire and that's the end of the chapter.

What you need to do is build a business which you can add value to and sell as an ongoing concern when you've reached your goals. This will ensure that all the hard work you put in isn't all wasted.

However, if restaurants ARE your passion, then you need to build a BRAND name while you're at it so that the brand can be franchised or sold at a premium. "Johnson Lok" is a good example.

TS

too many irrelevant questions, chair backrest, soupbase, gas or electric etc. Its F&B so recipe, cook and tasty food. People will sit on a stool and wallop good food which are presented well and tasty consistently.

If no cook and good recipe, you are wasting your time. The rest is easy.

By the way chef is base salary and 10% profit sharing.

Dont mind me being a kaypoh..

Good idea. One killer for restaurant business is the issue of parking space. Food centres normally don't have this problem. Once you have made a name, move to a bigger space. By then you will know how much business you can make and whether you can afford the rental of that good location.

Better to operate KTV that also serves steamboat lah.
