Hey Wazuan's, i need ideals on starting a fast food cafe in an estate lyk kasarani or zimmerman, Mostly selling chips and sousages, What do i need to start and is it a business worth pumping my money. I have a patner who is ready to partner with me. Considering the estates have a huge crowd of students, children, single men and ladies. Any one just help me with advice and ideals. I know ive come to the right place.

A fast food cafe in an estate can be a very profitable venture and also a very stressful one. In my opinion, as long as the estate is highly populated with the right crowds such as young people such as students and single men and women, there is huge potential.

But first things first, the fact that you have ready capital doesn't mean you will succeed, you have to do a thorough market research, projections and be sure of the source of your foodstuffs. Another headache is staff, you must have reliable staff otherwise they will enrich themselves at your expense. If you are in a 8-5 job then you are in for more drama.

The best option is to start with chips since it is fast moving and is eaten anytime by many. Preparation is also simpler. With time, you can add other foodstuffs gradually as you monitor your progress.

Also remember kanjo and health issues, fire extinguisher, garbage etc

Ideas or ideals, staff or stuff? Just start. Staff will most likely steal from you unless you quit your job to run the biz

@petsimo, as .Laughing out loudly! says, just start. You will get experience as you go along. Start with chips and watch how it goes.

The staff will steal from you but with time and experience, you may come up with ways of minimizing the theft. Since you can't quit your job to run the biz, you better trust them and monitor what they are doing closely. Spend time to learn the details and tricks as you go along.
