Noodle pot and various equipment (approximately 3,000), cart with raw material cabinet (approximately 7,000), table + chairs 10 sets (10,000), plates, bowls and spoons (3,000) gas bill + water bill + electricity bill + labor cost + raw material cost (Total about 20,000 per month)

This introductory capital also varies with the rent of the premises and the investment environment that varies from person to person. Some people may use their own home to open a shop and have some basic equipment. or using family labor It will help to save the initial cost considerably.

The advantage of opening a noodle shop is having With the daily “current cash flow”, in-store reserves do not require much preparation compared to other types of businesses. Initially, working capital around 1,500 - 2,000 should be enough initially, but if it's good, there are about 5,000 - 10,000 will be more reassuring.

👉🏻 Selling noodles at what price? To be profitable??

To calculate the cost to find the selling price, use the following formula: Profit = Revenue – Cost (Fixed Cost + Variable Cost).

for example

- If the noodle shop have to pay rent

- Pay rent at 10,000 baht per month, pay children's wages in a noodle shop To help service in the shop, help wash dishes, 9,000 baht per month

- Therefore, a noodle shop will have a fixed cost of 19,000 baht.

variable cost Suppose the owner of a noodle shop goes to the market. Buying noodles, meatballs, vegetables, totaling 1,200 baht, can produce 100 bowls of noodles, so 1200/100 = 12 means variable cost equals 12 baht per bowl.

If a noodle shop sells 100 bowls of noodles per day, the price is 30 baht per bowl, in a month it can sell about 3,000 bowls, earning 90,000 baht from the formula Profit = Income - Costs (fixed costs + variable costs).

Roughly calculated as follows: = 90,000 – (19,000 + (12 x 3,000)

= 90,000 – (19,000 + 36,000)

= 35,000 per month

Look at the approximate numbers It is considered to be quite rich, but it's late. This formula is based on selling 100 bowls per day, which means that we may not sell less than 100 bowls every day, or on average, we may sell less than 3,000 bowls per month.

👉🏻Is it a good idea to open a shop by yourself or buy a franchise?

2. A noodle shop that is a franchise

This type of shop, you may not have a delicious recipe, you can open a noodle shop. Buying a franchise, you will get both formulas. both management methods and starter equipment But the disadvantage is that the exchange price is quite expensive. And if you choose a bad franchise, you may have to be tired for free but get nothing in return.

However, choosing to open any kind of store is up to you. If you are confident in your own great recipe, you can open it yourself. But if you don't want to start from scratch, you buy a franchise to manage.
