Starting a small business with my small family

my small family business

My family and I are starting a small, simple, but promising business. This small stall is just a copy of someone else's stall, and with a simple setup, we sell snacks familiar to the locals, such as fried tofu, fried tempeh, fried bananas, and several other fried foods. To warm the body and the atmosphere, we also serve milk-based bandrek for Rp. 5,000 per glass.

frying process

We sell a single portion of fried food for Rp 1,000. Although simple, this stall is very close to our home, so we can take care of the kids, cook, and run the business without having to travel far. Our stall is simple: a wooden table, a tarp for a temporary roof, and basic frying equipment. But the smiles of our customers and the satisfaction they receive when they say it's delicious are our biggest motivations.

Throughout this pioneering process, we've learned every day. We've learned to choose good, long-lasting cooking oil, maintain a clean space, manage our work hours to manage our sales while taking care of our children, and maintain a high-quality taste to keep customers coming back. This business isn't just about money, but also about gratitude and responsibility to provide for our household's needs.

Here are some conversions of our business prices in Rupiah and Steem.

• Milk bandrek Rp. 5,000 / 2.26 Steem

• One piece of fried food Rp. 1,000 / 0.45 Steem

So the price of milk bandrek is equivalent to 2.26 Steem, and one fried food is only Rp. 0.44 Steem.

The cheerful smile of my beloved daughter

We realize this business is still small and has many shortcomings. But every fried snack sold, every glass of bandrek sold, means we can help our family a little—to pay for gas, electricity, and basic necessities for our children. We want to remain consistent and continue to improve our service, such as by providing better taste, a cleaner place, and friendly service.

If friends pass by my business, they should stop by and try the fried snacks and the milky bandrek. Even a small amount of support from neighbors or tenants means a lot to my family. Please pray that this business will grow little by little and become even better.
