Can't Find a Good Location? Why Not Try a Site Locator?

There are so many foodcart franchises to choose from but the BIGGEST PROBLEM IS FINDING A GOOD LOCATION.

It seems all the good spots in the Top 3 Malls (SM, Robinson's, Ayala Malls) are already taken by the name-brand franchises as company-owned outlets.  And even if you could find a spot, the Mall Leasing Departments reserve the right to transfer you anywhere in their mall and charge you High rents and CUSAs.

A friend of mine who operates a lotto outlet in an Ayala Mall has had to transfer 4 times already!

If you are thinking of Roadsides such as schools, terminals and others, it is also difficult to track down the owners of these commercial spaces.

With all these difficulties, you might consider hiring the services of a SITE LOCATOR.

Because it is their livelihood, they have their networks of commercial space owners who immediately inform them of any vacancies.

I have encountered 2 such Site Locators with varying Service Fees:

1.  You pay them the equivalent of one-month's rent of the intended site;

2.  You pay them P5,000 down and P5,000 upon Site Visit;

3.  The Landlord pays the Site Locator.  In which case, you might want to give a Gratuity to the Site Locator instead.

A US-based Balikbayan Finally Claims the P741 Million 6/55 Grand Lotto Jackpot. . . Huge Publicity on the P741 Million Jackpot Has Boosted Sales of 6/55 Grand Lotto tickets AT ALL LOTTO OUTLETS!!!

COURTESY OF PCSO 6/55 GRAND LOTTO  While there were newspaper reports of a Grandmother who went to the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (or PCSO) asking the PCSO to stop the payment of the P741 Million 6/55 Grand Lotto Jackpot as she claims her grandson stole her lotto ticket,  a Balikbayan from New York finally appeared before the PCSO accompanied by 3 relatives to claim the huge winning jackpot.

COURTESY OF PCSO 6/55 GRAND LOTTO
So easy to play. . . Just pick 6 numbers. .  Only P20 per combination
  Unlike other lotto players who would would think of significant numbers in their lives, the Balikbayan opted for Lucky Pick (Quick Pick for USA lottery players) wherein the computer generates the lotto numbers and that is what won him the Grand Lotto!

RICHARD JOSEPH SIY
Cheaper than a Siomai franchise
RICHARD JOSEPH SIY  Lotto agents are also happy even though the long lines are now gone because they are now experiencing much higher sales in the 6/55 Grand Lotto as a result of the huge jackpot.  Previously, lotto players were not too keen on the 6/55 Grand Lotto as the odds are much harder but after they saw the almost P1 billion peso Jackpot, these same lotto players are now playing the 6/55 Grand Lotto-- and even adding their own Lucky Pick bets!!!

Before, it would take months before you could see the 6/55 Grand Lotto Jackpot amount increase in amount. Now, in less than 2 weeks, the 6/55 Grand Lotto has gone up from its Minimum Guaranteed jackpot amount of P30 Million to more than P38 Million already!!! And this has a positive impact on the betting habits of the loyal lotto players.  Hurrah!!!

courtesy of pcso
There are 4 Lotto games & 4 Digit games-- all popular among lotto players
For those interested in going into the Lotto Outlet business, I offer a One-on-One Consultation on How to Set-up and Operate Your Own Lotto Outlet.  Topics will include Site Selection, The Proper Way to Apply with the PCSO, How Much to Set-up a Lotto Outlet, Actual Operations, How to Attract Lotto Players, Hiring The Right Lotto Operator and How to Protect Your Business from Fraud and many many more.  I will share with you my Actual Experiences as a Lotto Agent.  My fee is only P2,000 per head.

Which is the Better Ice Crusher for Scramble?

During the Phil SME & Franchise Expo, I saw two outfits selling two different kinds of Ice Crusher for Scramble making:

courtesy of judea enterprisescourtesy of judea enterprises  1.  The one offered by Judea Enterprises cost P15,000 and is the type being used by Jollibee, Pinoy Ice Scramble etc.  It has a plastic body shell. 

courtesy of binodo metalcraft
Lever is lifted, ice placed inside & then cover is closed while ice is being crushed
  2. The other type is a simple but heavy-duty like Ice Crusher (all-metal body) and is being sold by Binondo Metalcraft as part of a Scramble foodcart package complete with Styro boxes, condiment tray, mixers etc for a total of only P18,000.

Of the two, the first one seems more suited for mass production of Crushed ice for scramble because of its bigger capacity.  The second one seems more suited to lesser volume sales as in one by one order and not a huge line of waiting customers.

The Top Model is Automatic in the sense that you put in the ice, press a button and it crushes the ice.  The Bottom Option is Manual which means it will only crush ice for as long as you push the lever down.  When you remove your hand, ice crushing stops.

Of course, you cannot ignore the fact that for the price of the Top model (P15,000), you get a whole scramble foodcart with all the equipment you need for only P15,000 if you decide to get the Bottom Option.  

Will appreciate any feedback that you can give and may be even other suppliers.

Should I Get P150,000 & Up Top-Brand Scramble Franchise or an P18,000 Own-Brand Scramble Business??

courtesy of icebreaker scramble
Icebreaker Scramble -- Undisputed King???!!!!
  1.   Of the Scramble franchises on offer, franchise packages can range from as low as P21,000 (Mister Scramble) to P148,000 (Scramble Kid of JC Fran) or a Top-brand Scramble Franchise (P200,000 up). Add to the franchise package is another P200,000 or more for Mall rent, CUSA, Aricon, Security deposits and other incidental charges.

2.  There are outfits that offer to sell a Scramble food cart with ice crusher, styro, premix etc for only P18,000 but you provide your own brand name.  It is technically a sale of equipment and therefore there are no franchise fees or Non-Compete Lock-in clauses to worry about and you are free to sell anything including hotdogs etc alongside the scramble.

COURTESY OF SCRAMBLE KING
Franchise Packages from P90,000 to P195,000
  3.  Some would say get the Top-brand as it will be an Easy-sale (think Icebreaker Scramble or Zagu for Pearl shakes) but but  . . .  most of the prime sites like SM, Robinson's, Waltermart etc are already locked-in by the franchisor as company-owned outlets.  Where do you go?

4.  On the other hand, if you do your Own -brand, people may not notice you if there is a Manila Scramble or Icebreaker in front of your outlet (P.S.  Malls have the habit of putting multiple outlets of the same concept Ex.  Ever Grand Central Supermarket has 4 Scramble outlets in one area alone!)

5.  More importantly, if the Scramble offers only one basic flavor (Vanilla), do you think I am already too late in the game as people might start tiring of scramble with so many already sprouting everywhere????

Another Food Cart Extravaganza at the WTC: The Philippine SME & Franchise Expo 2010

Last November 18, 2010, I was rushing to get to the SMX thinking that this new Franchise Show would be there.  I even felt lucky to find a parking slot as the place was already full despite it being 10am only.  Upon reaching the Ground floor, I was surprised that what was on exhibit was a Car show.  It was then I realized that I was in the wrong place.  It's at the World Trade Center. Jeeeez

courtesy of phil sme & franchise expo 2010    The Philippine SME and Franchise Expo 2010 is probably the third or fourth Exhibit in the last 4 months featuring food cart franchises which seems to be the rage this 2010.

  At the SME Expo, there were about 10 different Scramble franchises and maybe 2 Twistix-style food carts on offer.  I feared that the Scramble business might be getting too crowded especially since it is at every mall and roadside already and people might soon tire of it.

If you remember a few years ago, Pearl Shakes led by Zagu and Orbitz were all the rage and we saw franchise packages reaching P500,000 and there seemed to be a Zagu at every street corner.  Now, Zagu is still there but not as many outlets and Orbitz is just in a few select malls. 

courtesy of phil sme & franchise expo 2010In the coming days, I will feature the different food carts that caught my eye and leave it up to you guys to select what you think is the best. Note that dominant players like Icebreaker Scramble, Buzbox Scramble and Manila Scramble were not present as well as Twisitx.

  Despite the odds of winning in the 6/55 Grand Lotto Game, I would say millions of people, both regular and first-time Lotto players--- rich and poor alike, are braving the heat by lining-up at the lotto outlet.

When the Jackpot was P495 Million, people said it could reach Half a Billion Pesos!!  That Level was breached last Monday when the 6/55 hit P543,000,000.  With PCSO estimates at P620 Million which is usually on the conservative side, the Jackpot just might reach a Billion Pesos!!!!!

Lines. . .  Lines . . .  And more lines.

Is it Worth It Paying So Much for a Franchise?

phil government
Should I GAMBLE MY LIFESAVINGS on a franchise?
  I have on quite a few occasions encountered  people wanting to start a business and asking if it is worth paying so much for a franchise, to wit:

1.  A Siomai House franchise is about P250,000.  A Top brand Scramble about P150,000 to P200,000.  Other franchise package still entail additional investments on the part of the franchisee like kitchen equipment (mixer, scales etc) that are not part of the franchise, crew uniform.

2. If you want to be in a mall, expect to pay P20,000 to P35,000/month in rent. That's not all, you still have to pay CUSA (or Common Utility, Security, Janitorial) of P2,000/mo or more, Aircon charge of P2,000 or more, Pest Control etc.  You will be expected to join Mall-sponsored Promotional Events by way of sponsorship. (Add 12% VAT to all figures.Hay!)

3.  If you set-up a Siomai or Sisig or some foodcart, you may be required to rent a separate Storage Room in the basement of the mall to store your chest freezers, dry materials like styro packs, etc and rent is as much as the kiosk itself especially if the area is big.

4.  If you need electrical and telephone/DSL landline and your kiosk location is far from the PLDT/Meralco Main Distribution Panelboard, the mall will charge you Feeder Line fee which can reach up to P39,000 or more (it's a per meter charge).  This does not include yet the Installation charge of the Telecom carrier.

5.  Add mall rental of P35,000 per month (before VAT) and rental deposit of between 3 months (for medium-size or single-location malls)  to 12 months (for the top chain malls).

6.  If you want to put tarpaulin standees around the mall to let everybody know you are in the mall, it will cost you P500 or more per standee a month.  NOTHING IS FREE.

BTW, do not expect the franchisor to conduct any meaningful promotions on your behalf (other than a half-hearted opening day support which you will pay for too)  and so, you better be active MARKETING YOUR FRANCHISE!

7. If you cannot afford the name brands of say Scramble at P150,000/franchise, should you get the lesser known brand at P60,000/franchise?  Hard to say what is the best to do as you will pay the same mall overhead whether known brand or not.

8.  You will sign a 6-month or 12-month rent contract but if after 3 months of losses, you decide to call it quits--- You might be required by the mall to pay also the remaining months of the contract and forfeit your security deposit.

9.  If the franchisor has a poor Supply Chain or Logistics department, you may have to pick-up the supplies yourself thereby increasing your overhead still. 

10.. Again, if the franchisor has poor logistics, your kiosk may ran out of stocks and you lose customers and still HAVE TO PAY THE RENT. (Note:  I had a Blog comment from a reader complaining that after he has paid for a Scramble franchise, he is having difficulty with supplies delivery and coordination with the franchisor.)

11.  You will treat your Security Deposit as an Expense because the only time you will see your Security Deposit again is when you decide to close shop.

12. The Franchise fee is also to be treated as an Expense too as that goes to the franchisor as income.  Likewise, many franchisors charge a Renewal Franchise fee of maybe same amount or half of the original franchise fee (adjusted for price increase!!!)  after say 3 years. 

13.  So you better make sure you can earn back the Franchise fee plus Security Deposit plus your  Capital outlays during the first 3 years and still earn a reasonable profit.

14.  On the other hand, if you start your own brand:

a.  The Mall may not give you space as they always allocate the space to the known franchisor and let the franchisor to whom they will give the franchise to.

b.  What you save in franchise fees can be used to lower your selling prices or advertise more.

c.  You will have to setup your own Purchasing, Commissary/kitchen, warehouse and Logistics capabilities like storage and delivery truck.

d.  By not getting a franchise, you will have to prepare yourself to be a really HANDS-ON owner.

e.  You will have to personally hire, train, deploy and fire your crew as well as be the payroll master and personnel department all-in-one.

f. Should you pay yourself a salary (and increase the store's expenses?)  Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

No Winner of Nov 17 6/55 Lotto Draw. JACKPOT NOW AT P495 MILLION. Lines Continue at all Lotto Outlets!

richardjosephsiyNobody was able to bet correctly the 6 number combination of the PCSO Lotto 6/55 Draw last night.  As a result, the Jackpot has now reached a Record=breaking whopping P485,597,376.80, or P485 Million!!!!!

RICHARD JOSEPH SIY  Last Monday, the PCSO Lotto 6/55 Jackpot stood as P456 Million.  Which means, the Jackpot has increased by a huge P39 Million (to P495 Million)  in just 3 days!!!  This also means that more and more people including first-time Lotto bettors are flocking to the lotto outlets across the country.

This is good for the Lotto business as New Customers are being created when people see the huge lines and the BIG JACKPOT signs posted in the lotto outlet, splashed in the newspapers as well as shouted daily in the radio broadcasts.

THE FEELING OF MOST PEOPLE IS THAT THEY BETTER PLACE THEIR BETS NOW WHILE THE GIANT JACKPOT HAS NOT YET BEEN WON AS IT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME BEFORE THE JACKPOT WILL REACH THAT BIG AMOUNT AGAIN!!!! No need to market the lotto.  It will sell itself.

Long Lines Continue at All Lotto Outlets as PCSO Grand Lotto 6/55 Jackpot is Expected to Hit P402 Million During Tomorrow's November 13 Draw!!!!

richardjosephsiy  The Jackpot during the last PCSO 6/55 Grand Lotto Draw reached P383,405,234.40 and there were NO WINNERS.  Tomorrow evening at 9pm, the 6/55 Grand Lotto Jackpot is expected to hit P402 Million as per the PCSO ad that appeared in today's issue of the Daily Inquirer.

While nobody won the last 6/55 Grand Lotto Jackpot, there were 81 who guessed 5 (out of 6 numbers of the winning combination) of the numbers and won themselves P150,000.

richardjosephsiy  Please note that there were 81 people who could have won whereas in previous draws of the 6/55 Grand Lotto, there were only a handful (below 20 persons) who were able to guessed at least 5 number.

The Significance of these 81 persons is that there are more and more people playing the 6/55 despite naysayers and doubters saying they are not playing the Grand Lotto 6/55 as there are just too many combinations (more than 20 million possible combinations). When the pot is hitting P400 million (or even Half a Billion pesos), PEOPLE WILL NOTICE AND PLAY.

This bodes well for the Lotto Agent as there will be more and more customers at their outlets.  My experience is that even if the 6/55 Grand Lotto is still on Saturday, Nov 12, many people advance bet the 6/55 as early as Wednesday to avoid the lines.  What will happen is that these same people who made advance bets will still come back on Saturday to make a last-minute bet when they see the Jackpot Updates showing the rise in the Jackpot amount!!

Lotto Outlets Make a Killing as Lotto 6/55 Jackpot Hits Record P354,596,432.40 AND STILL NO WINNER!!!

courtesy of pcso  The Grand Lotto or otherwise known as the 6/55 Lotto Game Jackpot has hit a record P354 MILLION which beat the last highest of P347 Million of the 6/49 which was won by only two lucky bettors.

richardjosephsiy  And get this, there is still no winner of the 6/55 which means long lines at lotto outlets all over the Philippines will continue.  Who knows, P400 Million or even, HALF A BILLION PESOS!!!!!

richardjosephsiy  The Lotto Business has not looked brighter than this.  My fellow agent in Makati sold last week a total of more than P900,000 of Lotto Sales which at 5% means the agent had a Gross Revenue of about P45,000 from just One Week's Sales!!!  Think about that!!

Today is November 1 but to the Lotto Afficionados, This is The Day They Could Win The P288 Million 6/55 Jackpot!!!!

lotto outlet; richardjosephsiy  Unbeknown to many non-lotto players, November 1 is a regular Draw Date for the PCSO Lotto Games and this day, November 1, 2010 is a Special Day as the 6/55 Lotto Jackpot is expected to exceed the P288 Million from last Saturday's 6/55 Lotto draw wherein nobody won.

lotto outlet; richardjosephsiy  Yesterday, October 31, many of my lotto customers placed advance bets for 6/55 just in case they are not able to get back from visiting their Departed Ones in the country's cemeteries.  Who knows, their Alaga number combinations might just come out and it will be a terrible loss if they did not bet!!!!

lotto outlet; richardjosephsiyWhile it was a holiday (no school classes), my lotto customers still had to drop-by my lotto outlet to place their bets lest they miss-out on the P288 Million Jackpot.  (P.S.  The highest Jackpot ever reached was the P347 Million of the 6/49 Lotto which was won by 2 individuals!).
