Running a cafe requires you to invest in high utilities, and hire a wide range of staff including cooks, cashiers, service crews, kitchen managers, cleaners, and so forth. You also have to pay overhead costs such as rentals. Hence, it becomes imperative for you to keep your operational cost as low as possible by opting for push carts.
Why push carts?
You only have to hire one person to handle your push cart. You don’t need a team of staff to handle your push cart. Other than that, the maintenance cost of push carts is also low compared to a brick-and-mortar shop or cafe. The overhead cost is also very low compared to a shop or cafe.
How does the decoration of your cafe and retail shop matter to your business?
You need to decorate your cafes and retail shops to enhance your brand, drive sales, and foster a great customer experience. Nowadays it’s prevalent that business owners use specific themes to decorate their cafes and retail shops. This is to make their cafe and retail shops more unique from their competitors.
Customers are more attracted to cafes and retail shops with more unique decorations. However, the decoration process is much more complicated than a push cart business.
Easy decoration for push carts
Even though we provide push carts in a standard size, you can still decorate the push carts yourself after renting from us. It’s pretty easy for you to decorate the push carts as compared to a cafe and retail shops since a push cart is very small in size.
You can also use your creativity with colourful wrappers and small decorative stuff to decorate your push carts. You just have to DIY for the entire decoration process. Unlike cafes and retail shops, you might have to engage vendors to do the decoration for you.
How do you manage the operation of your business in a brick-and-mortar shop or cafe?
With your brick-and-mortar shop or cafe, you have to hire a few staff to run the operation of the entire shop or cafe. Else, it would be difficult for you to effectively manage the operation of the business. You need at least a chef, and a kitchen assistant to be stationed in the kitchen. You also need at least one to two service crews to serve the customers to ensure a positive dining experience for your customers.
Sames goes to a retail business. You need at least a cashier and a promoter in your shop to serve your customers. If your business is bigger, you probably need more promoters or even store supervisors or managers to assist in your store.
Minimal management of push carts
Despite the easy decoration of the push carts, push carts are also small in which you only need a maximum of two staff to take care of them. Most of the push carts even have built-in storage areas for you to keep your retail items after you complete your operation hours for the day.
Since push carts are comparatively small, only one or two staff of yours can easily handle the push carts without much stress. Unlike a big women’s apparel shop, there are many sections in the shop with different designs of the apparel, and also many sections of storage of the apparel’s inventory. It’s not easy for one or two staff to handle such a big shop.
