Hello po! Ask lang ako ng advice sa mga may experience sa food business or small food stall setup.

I’m planning to start a small pizza business (kanto-style / affordable) like yung mga nasa ₱89–₱99 range. Target ko sana is students, workers, and people na gusto ng quick, cheap pero filling na food.

Plan ko:

•	1 size lang muna 

•	4–5 flavors lang to start (simple lang muna)

•	Stall setup near terminal / palengke area or street side

•	Focus on affordability + mabilis na service

Pero bago ako mag-start, I want to ask:

•	Is this kind of business still profitable ngayon?

•	Ano usually biggest challenge sa pizza stall business?

•	Any tips sa dough, ingredients, or supplier na sulit?

•	How do you keep costs low pero decent pa rin yung quality?

•	What mistakes should I avoid as a beginner?

Also open po ako sa honest feedback kung okay ba idea or need ko pa i-improve yung concept.

Thank you so much sa magbibigay ng advice!

Hi everyone,

May ino-offer sa akin na small restaurant investment setup at gusto ko lang sana humingi ng advice kung valid ba concern ko o masyado lang akong nag-ooverthink.

Ganito yung setup:

• I provide the capital
• I receive a larger share until I recover my investment
• After ROI, I continue receiving a smaller percentage from profits

My biggest concern is what happens after ROI.

Na-realize ko kasi na technically puwedeng:

• magsara yung business,
• magpalit ng setup o pangalan,
• ilipat sa ibang entity,
• o tanggalin na lang yung investor sa arrangement.

Because of that, I’m thinking of adding a clause that says if they terminate the post-ROI arrangement early, they would have to pay a minimum guaranteed buyout amount based on several months of expected post-ROI earnings.

For people who’ve done small business or restaurant investments before:

• Is this kind of protection normal?
• How are post-ROI buyouts usually handled?
• What’s considered fair in practice?
• Are there better ways to structure this?

Would appreciate practical advice from people with actual experience dealing with partnerships/investors.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

Trying my luck here baka may willing mag-share ng experience or mentorship about starting a trucking business in the Philippines, especially those na nagsimula talaga sa 1 truck setup.

I have reached out to a few trucking operators directly pero I completely understand na busy rin sila with operations. I’m also aware of the DTI Supply Chain and Logistics programs and I plan to reach out to them separately as well.

Right now, I’m mainly looking for practical insights sana about:

• how you started
• common beginner mistakes
• securing clients/contracts
• operations and dispatching
• driver management
• maintenance realities
• cash flow challenges
• and generally kung ano yung “I wish I knew earlier” lessons

I’m based in QC but willing to travel if may opportunity to meet or even just observe operations for a day. Sagot ko na rin po meryenda syempre. 😄

Not looking for shortcuts — gusto ko lang talaga matuto from people who actually built it from the ground up.

Would appreciate any advice, referrals, or even recommendations on where to start properly. Thank you!

May kainan yung pinsan and mama ko sa Nueva Ecija, sa barangay lang. Sizzling plates, short order, sisig-an.

Ano pa kayang p'wedeng idagdag na imbenta? 'Yung hindi kailangan ng additinal labor, 'yung p'wede sana bantayan na lang din ni mama if may bibili.

Walang upa kasi harap ng compound namin p'westo. Weekly ako umuuwi from Manila to Nueva Ecija, so iniisip ko mag-angkat sa Divisoria, gano'n.

Help naman sa ideas, need ko kumita in all possible ways as a single mom na only child 😭

Planning to start a piso net/piso arcade business

May i ask guys ano ireregister if home service yung business namin ? like gagawa kami sa bahay ni client ng mga projects ganern

Thank you!

Just curious about everyone's setup. Do you keep all your revenue in one account, or do you split your funds across different banks for daily operations, taxes, and personal savings?

Hello po, hihingi lang sana ako ng advice.

For those running or working in auto repair/service centers, do you have a labor pricing guide or structure for mechanical services?

Nahihirapan kasi ako i-standardize yung labor charges. Minsan depende sa unit, complexity ng job, oras na kailangan, or kung gaano kahirap baklasin yung parts.

Gusto ko sana magkaroon ng fair and consistent basis para hindi pabago-bago ang quotation, pero hindi rin underpriced or overpriced.

Any tips, sample structure, or factors you use when pricing labor would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to get your thoughts on something I’m currently dealing with as a freelancer/VA

I’m working on a new project where my client wants me to recruit and onboard local small businesses for a paid research task. The requirement is that they must use an iPhone 12 Pro to complete the work.

The issue is, a lot of qualified local businesses here actually want to join but they don’t have a compatible device even though they’re a good fit in terms of skills and business type. So they’re getting disqualified just because of the phone requirement.

I was thinking of a possible workaround: since I already have around 10 interested businesses, I’m considering buying second-hand iPhone 12 Pro units and letting them use the phones temporarily (like a 1-month rental setup).

My idea is that they would essentially pay it back from their earnings for example, if they earn $400 they would give $200 as the phone rental for that month.

I’m not sure if this is practical or even a good idea, so I’d really appreciate any thoughtsespecially on whether this is a smart move or if there are better ways to handle this kind of situation.

I currently own and manage 3 resort properties in the Philippines. Two of the resorts have strong business potential but still need renovation and additional funding to fully develop and maximize operations.

Because of this, I’m looking for a serious investor or business partner who is willing to help fund the renovations, improvements, and expansion of the resorts.

I’m very open to different types of arrangements, including:

-Profit-sharing agreements

-Business partnerships

-Revenue-sharing setups

-Long-term investment deals

-Silent investor setup

-Active management participation

If the investor wants to be hands-on, I’m also open to giving them the option to help manage the resort operations directly, or even take over the management depending on the agreement. I’m flexible and willing to discuss terms that are fair for both sides.

One of the resorts is already operating and generating income again, while the other two need capital to reach their full potential. The resorts have opportunities for:

-Tourism and vacation stays

-Private events and gatherings

-Staycations

-Future business expansion

individuals who want to enter the resort or tourism business are welcome to talk. Estimated needed funding is around ₱4M–₱7M for 1 resort depending on the setup and development plans.

I’m not looking for loans. I’m looking for someone serious who wants to grow the business together long-term.

The goal is to improve and grow the resorts together step by step. I’m looking for someone serious, practical, and interested in building something long-term.

If you’re interested, feel free to send me a message so we can discuss details privately, including the locations, photos, current status, and possible partnership terms.

Thank you.

I got financially drained after making a wrong business decision and being scammed. Especially when you know your business was starting to boom, then one wrong move forced you to pause operations because of the financial loss. Now it feels hard to regain the drive and motivation to start again.
