FOOD CART IDEA. Is It Still Worth It to Have a Coffee Kiosk?

I am a coffee lover.  I cannot start my day without my MUG of JAVA (kape to Pinoys).  I take mine without cream.  Ugh.

I have always dreamed of having my own Coffee shop or Cart but with Starbucks lording it over everyone, is it still viable especially with the high cost of high-pedestrian traffic sites & skyhigh renovation costs?

MAFBEX Delonghi booth showing the latest automatic and semi-auto espresso machines (Mobile 0928 3736019)

Semi-automatic espresso machines are considered better than Fully-auto espresso machines because one can fine-tune the espresso much better.

There were other booths showing coffee machines like San Remo brand etc.

Some things I learned when I enrolled at the Maya Kitchen Coffee Barista 101 course which fortunately was handled by Eric, a former Starbucks Middle East barista and bartender:

1.  Go for the semi-automatic espresso machines

2.  Do not get espresso machines that have an integrated Grinder in the unit itself.  (It may seem cheaper to have a combined Grinder plus Espresso machine rather than buy them separately but in the Combined setup, the heat from the espresso machine will cause the important Coffee oil inside the coffee beans to dry up thereby weakening the aroma of the espresso.

3.  You do not have to buy the best espresso machine BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY THE BEST GRINDER (Marzoli, Eric recommends).  A cheap grinder may have knives that heat-up during use and cause th coffee beans to dry.

4.  DO NOT ATTEMPT TO COPY STARBUCKS' MENU.  If you do, people would rather go to the Original, and not you.

Hotdog in a Waffle?? - - - Waffle Time

A New Kind of Laundry Shop: Speed Queen Laundry

Speed Queen Coin-operated Laundry machine

I you have seen American movies wherein the actors (usually male; don't know why) lugging a basket of dirty clothes to a Laundrymat. They then open the fish-bowl glass of the front-loading laundry machine, dump all their dirties in them and search their pockets for loose change (coins) which they then feed into the machine for it to run.

Well, there is an outfit who is planning to do just that--- Speed Queen by Tysons Global Enchange Inc (tel 0922-0752; no landline huh?).

s

Top view of Speed Queen Laundry machine

Instead of using coins, you have to use their tokens to make the machine run.  You charge P30-60/cycle (per single machine operation; hopefully it gets clean in one washing) and P60/cycle for drying. Each cycle is good for 3 kgs or about 4-5 maong denim pants.  This compares to the P25-30/kg that laundryshops currently charge.

While they are more expensive, the Speed Queen guy says theirs is good for people in a rush as laundryshops may take 2-3 days to deliver. But, on the other hand, I told the Speed Queen guy, the laundryshops usually include ironing services. In the case of Speed Queen, you still need to iron it yourself when you get back to the condo --- which most people do not like to do (hot, tiring, hassle).

Speed Queen Washer & Dryer uses tokens

Also, while their flyer says Passive Income, the Speed Queen guy agrees that we still need to hire people to watch the place to prevent us Filipinos from vandalizing the machines or horror, trying to outwit the machine by putting all sorts of coin-like metal object to fool the coin-slot.  Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Speed Queen tokens for the Dryer and Washer. Do you think the Pinoy can make similar tokens to fool the machines?

All Time Favorite Donuts: Country Style Donut Foodcart

Country Style Donut with Bunn Brewed Coffeemaker

Many have said that in selecting a foodcart franchise, make sure the product is not just a Fad especially when you will be using your lifesavings to pay for the franchise package.  Donuts have been with us for so many years and of course, the market leader is Dunkin donut followed by Mister Donut.  Bringing up the lower end of the market would be Hapi Haus Donuts.

Occupying what I call the middle road would be Country Style Donuts.  Owning a Country Style Donut franchise format is like having your own small dream coffeeshop.  Unlike the other donut franchises, Country Style Donut format ranges from a Donut kiosk that sells Donuts & brewed coffee to a Dine-in affair that sells coffee, donuts and sandwiches.

Country Style Donut franchise packages are priced almost like Dunkin donut with the lowest donut franchise package having a franchise fee of P150,000 for a total investment of about P500,000 while the full-line dine-in Country Style is P1.8 Million!!!

Countrystyle Donut booth at PFA SMX

Space requirement is 8-12 sqm for the donut only format to 50-100 sqm for the full-line Dine-in Sandwich/ donut kiosk.

Donuts are iced from P25-30 (same as Dunkin donut premium but Country Style has no P15 Dunkin Donut small donut) while sandwiches range from P95 to P104.

I had the pleasure of talking with Mr. Jonathan Arrieta, Country Style Business Development Officer who spent the better part of almost an hour explaining to me the Countrystyle Business from food cost, electrical & utility expenses and finding the right location for their franchise - -  this are details that not many franchisors are willing to discuss as if these were Pentagon Nuclear Bomb secrets!!!!

According to Mr. Arrieta, the best margins come from selling sandwiches and coffee.


Countrystyle donut is a franchise owned by MFC Bistro Foods Corp located at GBI Compound, 2282 Chino Roces (Pasong Tamo Ext for the oldies like me), Makati (side of Toyota Pasong Tamo) and tel 813-1282 and 817-7573.

Generic Drug Mania: Farmacia ni Doc

Just looking at the daily lines at any Mercury Drugstore and you will realize many Filipinos are getting sick and in need of maintenance medicines.  Add to this is the fact that the Philippines has one of the highest birth rates of any country on Earth and you say, Aha BIG MARKET FOR DRUGS (the ethical kind, of course).

A big point favoring the Generic drug market is that many Filipinos cannot afford branded medicines and most have no health care plan.

Enter the Generic Pharmacy franchise.  During the recently concluded Philippines Franchise Asia exhibit at the SMX Convention Center in the Mall of Asia complex, several generic drug franchises were presented.  (Curiously, there were as many generic drug franchises this 2011 PFA exhibit as there were scramble franchises in previous years.  At the PFA this year, only Scramble king along with its mascot was noticed by me.)

Farmacia ni Dok booth at the Phil Franchise Asia Show

Farmacia ni Dok says its Franchise fee is as low as P99,000.  They offer 4 Franchise formats which differ in whether you want to offer only generic drug (the cheapest package at P398,180) to a Pharmacy + Distribution format which sells a combination of generic and branded medicines (P1,280,380, the highest).

Farmacia ni Dok booth with generics on display

Area required ranges from P15 - 20 sqm for the Generic/Standard format to 40sqm for the Combo Pharmacy + Distribution format.

In their flyer, they claim to have 30 branches nationwide.

Recently, a Friend of mine told me of a friend who has a Stall in one of Quezon City's huge Public Markets supplying Fish And Squidballs to ambulant vendors.  He runs his store from early morning to night- -  so not exactly an easy thing to do but you know, it seems all worth it. Because  . . .

Hamburger Anyone? - - - Minute Burger

Minute Burger at Filipino Franchise Show

In the past exhibits on Foodcarts and Philippines Franchises, Minute Burger is one of maybe only one or two hamburger franchises still present.

As stated in  a previous post on the same hamburger subject, we would see Minute Burger fighting it out with Angel Hamburger (so many have sprouted everywhere) and the veteran Burger Machine as well as a number of ambulant outfits selling the same burgers but it is only Minute Burger that is on the promotional tour.

T Shirt Craze - - - Transfer It!

Transfer It logo of Graphic Edge

Transfer It Business

Array of Transfer It services at AFFI Filipino Franchise Show

I saw the interesting booth of Graphic Edge more commonly known as Transfer It.  They do Printing Work on T Shirts, mugs, bags, commemorative plates and more.

There are several options to acquire a  Transfer It business depending on your budget:

1.  Franchise Mall-based                 P600,000 to P800,000

2.  Home-based Dealer                   P50,000 (Basic Start Up)

I think TShirts are the bestsellers

3.  Advanced Start Up                    P80,000    

The difference between the last 2 packages are the equipment and the services that you can offer.

You may call Liza Garvida at 0933-3310629 or 255-5482 and tell her you got her contact numbers from Richard Joseph Siy blog. 

A Great Idea at a Low CashOut- - It's the eLoad Vendo Machine from Uload

No doubt the eLoad business is such a big thing.  A Consumer Distributor (when there was still one) told me a couple of years ago that Smart's daily cash collection was P300 Million (imagine a day!!!) and that was a several years ago.

Uload at the AFFI Filipino Franchise show

One of the concerns when selling eload are :

1.  Cost of hiring someone to dispense the eLoads (salary etc)

2. The owner had to buy the load so that the saleslady's cellphone will get the retail load for resell.

3.  If the saleslady types the wrong cellphone number, then she has to pay for the loss.

uLoad Screen display

Simple uLOad User Interface

During the AFFI Filipino Franchise Show at the World Trade Center, I saw this ELoad Vendo machine supplied by Uload to wit:

1.    Investment is low at P30,000 which already includes P10,000 worth of eload.

uLoad simple procedures

2.  One can have several of these Uload machines and position them almost anywhere (counter top, near Pay phones airports, bus terminals or almost anywhere.

3.  You need only a very tiny space as the machine is as big as the old old Red PLDT coin-operated pay phones

4.  Drawback is that you have to buy the eload from them.  Your margin is only 7% versus about 13% or more if you get them directly from Smart or globe.

5. Though the margin is about 50% lower, you have to compute that you do not have to pay anybody and you save on rent as the space needed is minimal.

As Their Flyer Stated "Start Your Own Siomai Business" ---- KJA Summit is Looking for Dealers

KJA Siomai @ AFFI Franchise show

As with JCM Foodlink, I saw another huge booth at the AFFI Filipino Franchise offering siomai and siopao products but more importantly, they offer a chance for people who do not have much capital a way to start a business and hopefully, compete with the big boys.

KJA's flyer claims to have been in the business for 8 years and their clients are hotels, caterers, restaurants, canteens and much more.

Selling prices:
    Jumbo siopao              P132/ 12-pcs

    Pork siomai                 P130/ 60-pcs

    Sharksfin                     P168/ 42 pcs

KJA Start Your Own Siomai Biz

KJA Menu board. Study it.

Pork siomai works out to P2.17/pc  or P8.68/ order of 4pcs versus selling price of P25/order or Food cost of  35%.  Try to compute and see if this is better than having a Master Siomai or Siomai HOuse franchise.  You have to take note that in the case of the Siomai House, they handle all your logistics needs.

You could sell their products on retail, be a dealer or even a provincial distributor.  This company might be worth looking into.

VCargo: Logistic Provider to the Franchises of the Philippines But I Was A Little Disappointed My Cargo Prospects Were Not Good Enough for Them.

Vintel Logistics or VCargo booth at the AFFI Filipino Franchise

I have been attending almost all the past Franchise Shows and I always see the bright orange and white color scheme that is Vintel Logistics Inc. or for short, VCargo.  Mr. Tibig's story is a story worth emulating as he started small and now has expanded a lot from a small outfit along Canley Road in Pasig to a rented Warehouse at Armal compound (owned by the former Mayor of Pasig) in Raymundo Ave.  also in Pasig City.

They not only are into International forwarding and small cargo handling but they have recently set-up their own franchise product, the VCargo Retail Store, to wit:

1.  Its concept is like the Mail and More (Air21/Fedex) or UPS Store

2.  It will offer Worldwide remittance (thru Western Union), ticketing (Cebu Pacific, Zest Air) and eLoad .

3.  Concepts are mall-based or kiosk (non-mall) with investment outlay I was told for the kiosk at about P600,000.

Being a Logistics man all my life, I wanted to have a small business along the lines of Supply chain or distribution.  I got to know about the VCargo Retail store last year thru Mr. Rock Bullet Pineda of Vintel.  Mr Pineda or Bullet is a great guy to talk to.  He seems to know a lot about Logistics and he is excited about his company.  He told me then that Vintel will still test-market their VCargo store and for me to wait for developments.

And so it was with a certain excitement when I saw in this year's 2011 AFFI Filipino Franchise show that they have finally launched the VCargo Retail store and there lies my big disappointment.

I met a the person manning  VCargo Retail Store booth and we must have talked for about 30minutes or so about:

1. I would like him to email me details about the VCargo Retail store Kiosk-type as I do not have much capital for a mall-based operation

2.  I requested for a quote for an Air freight cargo for VisMIn (Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Surigao) for a client who is into the food supplement business.  I even provided him with the weight, CBM and Length x width x height of the cargo. (I do freelance sales work for logistics companies.)

3.  I also discussed with him about another client, a styro packaging manufacturer, that won the contract to supply the top 3 or 5 fast-food chain stores in country and that I need a quote for 20-footer containerized shipment to VisMin and we are talking about several TEUs a month if VCargo can guarantee excellent lead times and good service.

Why am I disappointed ?  The AFFI was in July 21, 2011 and todate I have not received any quote much less heard from him. I texted him but no reply.   I called VCargo and I told Ms.Maggie Gagalac of my predicament and that if in case VCargo cannot handle my requirement, for VCargo to please let me know by phone or text so that at least I can look for another logistics provider.  Unfortunately, my call to the Ms. Gagalac also proved futile.

In the logistics industry, success is simply being a able to meet a client's standards and a willingness to walk the extra mile.  Hay, this was not the case.  Am sure my case is one of a kind and is in no way reflective of the company as a whole.  Still, I was hoping for a chance to do business with VCargo but maybe somethings were just not meant to be. . . .

UPDATE AUG 11, 2011

I got an email a few days ago from Ms Erica Mae Concepcion of VCargo inviting me to a forum about their new franchise concept.  As for my cargo prospects that am offering Vintel, maybe they too will get in touch with me.  One Lesson I learned is that Opportunities do not wait for me.

UPDATE AUG 19, 2011

Sad but I missed the Forum for prospective franchisees of VCargo held last Aug 16 Tuesday as that happened to be the day when I have to report to PCSO for my weekly Remittance for my Lotto outlet.  I intend to go there on a separate occasion instead.

UPDATE AUG 30, 2011

In hindsight, maybe my Cargo prospects were not interesting enough to meet their qualifications and thus, the lack of interest for said prospects.

HEALTH IS WEALTH: Water is Forever. . . Crystal Clear ( Solerex) Water Refilling Station

Continuing my FOCUS on small business or Franchise that are GOOD FOR THE LONG TERM, then Water Refilling Station is one of them.

Fact is despite the good management of Manila Water and Maynilad, alas that will not guarantee SAFE WATER.  The main reason is both have to use the existing water pipeline system of the MWSS or NAWASA for those fortunate to be as old as me.

Take for example the water that flows out of my faucet in Muntinlupa.  Its rusty and I know that for a fact because I have an inline-water filter attached between the water meter and the pipe leading to my house.  After changing the filter cartridge (by the way, I use a 1 micron filter), you can see that the filter will have a rust color after just a few hours!!!

After a month, the water filter cartridge will have a dark rust color throughout the filter.  I only use my filtered water to wash clothes, water the plants and wash dishes.  For cooking and drinking, I buy water from a reputable water refilling station.  meaning one that has a certificate showing that their water has been tested and passed the quality standards.

Is There a Market for Higher-Priced Healthy Snack?. . . Enter Yoghurt

Health Frozen Yoghurt @ AFFI Franchise show

At the AFFI Filipino Franchise Show at the World Trade Center, there was only one booth displaying Yoghurt called the Healthy Frozen Yoghurt.

Part of the Group that owns Black Pearl, Frutas, Lush and Mango Farm, the booth watchers were quite mum about details of the new franchise.  Sorry I cannot share anything much, just one pic.

Technoluz supplies Taylor Soft Serve to Jollibee

Technolux sells USA-made Taylor  Soft serve Ice Cream machine and they also can supply powder to make Frozen Yoghurt.

You might want to check out both ways of going into the yoghurt business.  Be aware pricing per serving is higher and so your Target Market must really want its health benefits as well as the typical yoghurt taste to pay the price.
