To start a new restaurant or hawker store, they a need sum of funds to cover the expenses such as rentals, employee expanses, kitchen utilities and stock also new furniture. Furthermore, newly open businesses needs time to gain customers caused by their reputation and advertising. As the result, the return profit would take a few month or years to cover the expanses used to start up the business. In some cases, business are forced to close down because of the insufficient funds to cover the expenses. Competition • Chicken rice lovers will stay loyal to their current favourite shop, they would switch shops if the newly opened business is not as good or better than the favourites rather than going to a newly established business that is not well known. The barrier of entry of this business in the market is very high, there are many chicken rice shops that had already earned their title by selling their product at a low price and also a good quality dishes served. On the other hand, formerly established does not need to advertise to get customers. Unlike new businesses will promote their businesses by giving out promotions to attract new customers to try out their shop, by doing this they will also increase their expanses.
