Lots of people suggesting it here, but having owned restaurants for 12 years, you can easily make buns . Just get a bread oven and hire someone skilled to come in and bake every couple of days. You will save over half the cost, but more importantly consistent size and taste of the buns.
Mine as well open a beaver bakery having to hire a baker, build the space, stainless work, oven, all the logistics, might work making dessert , he would have to wait until upgrading since no plan for yet.
Bread oven here would be way too expensive for simply making 30+ buns a day. I did however get a bakery to come in and talk about making them
@@MIKEMARIO1 the electrical infrastructure is not good there...a bread oven wouldnt work unless its in a area with there are more industrial sized applications.
@@ThatPhilippinesLife Getting put on as a regular customer with a bakery will be good for consistency and local relationship building. I ran a sandwich shop in Tampa for 15 years and we had a local bakery deliver our bread every morning!
@@MIKEMARIO1 and that would need to double the kitchen again, and baking is a tough business for example a hamburger bun sells in retail for 12 pesos
why not get a local bakery to make your hamburger buns, there are so many around in the PI. That way you can also customize it and deliver it to your bar?
I was going say go to a local bakery and they be cheaper fresher
Yup and should be cheaper and you're giving business to a local bakery. Alot of restaurants in the US do this too.
He’s already looking into that
good idea. should be the same quality as the ones he buys.
@@Davirdcarrolone of the best ,bright idea.have that bread of your liking from local bakery.delivered right at your doorstep.
5:54 The first thing to come to my mind was...local bakery for buns. Dude...Beaver Buns! The best buns this side of the Mariana Trench!
Hilarious!
The stress of business ownership. Is it worth it? Are you building a future or burying your self? Keep operating cost contained vs providing a high quality product and experience. Keep innovating or rely on what you’ve built so far and hope businesses keeps going up. It’s a big bite, done it many times, sometimes very successfully sometimes not. What is your time worth coralline all the hamburger buns in town and that’s 1 small item needing your attention. Delegation of duties is crucial and absolutely the hardest thing for a business owner to due as very few employees can or will perform at an owners level. You’ve done an amazing job, good luck on the future expansion.
It is not worth it unless its your passion. Thats why publicly traded companies were invented so other people do all for for you.
Mike, your business sense continues to impress me.
All the best!
So nice that you give my countrymen some job, its a big help.God bless.
The buns you are using for the burgers are from the brand Angelina. They are based in Iloilo, and they also own Nicolette and Theo’s Restaurant which is located at SM City Iloilo
In Cebu Julies bakery is everywhere. That company must know how to get their goods out on time.
Collaborate with local businesses to provide what u need..like bakery, collaborate with the farmer, fishermen and poultry..collaborations! It will be cheaper...and you are helping the locals.
@@gentledaisy we have been trying it's not as easy as it seems out of stock is normal and no one is concerned to say to you, don't have any today...hard to rely on that
Agree with the comments about the buns. Look for 1-2 local bakeries. Lot's of places make pandesal and white bread. They should be able to make burger buns or worst case google the receipy. If you give them a fixed amount of business and set quality standards they should be able to supply you regularly and eventually cheaper than what is sold from other areas. That reminds me you can also check the label and see if you can contact the manufacturer of the buns you currently buy and see if it's worth sourcing directly, e.g. they are close enough so you can pick-up or deliver cheaply. Custom buns would add another level to your burgers. Brioche buns, etc. Just not sure of your volume but a local shop would be your best bet. GL!
I must say that your Philippines-related content is quite captivating and stands out among others. ✅️✅️✅️
That's pretty friggin' awesome Michael that you share quite a bit of information (info that costs through lawyers) about Filipino business law. Your info makes it easier for someone to make that 'push' as you say to start a business in the Philippines. Awesome video brotha!
Mike, when will the beer kegs be available for the tap? Cleaning and sterilizing the draft and gas lines and other crevices will be a daily hustle. Microbial growth and bio-film formation is really fast in a tropical outdoor temperature. Otherwise for discerning beer connoisseurs, skunky off-flavors, haze etc will be noticeable.
Well, from internet pictures they have those San Miguel bottled beers exposed in the sunlight UV everyday anyway and no one complain about the lightstruck skunky aroma. Maybe it's all good as long as there's perceptible alcohol content. :)
I like that you are explaining your background and how you have the experience. Watching your channel is great but I like the fact that you have a PLAN.
Brother, first thing. Make a small brick oven that you can have outside, and every day match a batch of dough and make your own burger rolls, it is so much easier then people might tell you. I helped my buddy start a Fry house in Eastern Europe, with the same issues you have where you are. And a simple recipe is all you need. You can make about 30 buns a batch depending on what you build and the size you want to go.
Great video btw! I really enjoy the informational type videos, especially when it comes to business and travel! I’m sure you knew all about supply issues prior to opening… one thing I would do is “Meal of the Day” type promotion…. Make it a special and it would really help when you are short on certain items because you would make the Special something that you have plenty of stock, and it would entice people to not go after a hamburger when you only have 4 buns, and only the people that really want a burger will get one…just an idea
You need to make your own.
@@cjanvier1536 at 12 pesos per bun retail the cost to produce our own would be too prohibitive, too much capital investment into an over and too much space unfortunately
@@ThatPhilippinesLife see above rent night time space from restaurants like they do here.
The people you are purchasing from clearly have a supply line that you are not aware of.
you should also consider what happens if you get into a business dispute as a foreigner in another country. business disputes always occur over time and volume of trade. be careful and stay strategic unless its a lifestyle business.
Michael, the first time you showed the restaurant before actually renting it, immediately I realized that the other half also should be covered with platic sheets or tarpaulin for summer and also for rainy season.
I have also done a beach shack in 2017, so I have a better idea. See if you can start "live music" if possible. If live music is not possible/feasible, just keep some good "karaoke system/setup" for customers to sing. That will also increase the business and its revenue.
What is the breakeven at this time and is it acheiving? How much did the structure cost?
I was a chef for 16 years Proofing bread there is probably even easier because it’s warm and moist, which is exactly what you want when you’re proofing bread
You are rockin it brother!
Once again, liking your video from the shores of Lake Superior while on vacation.
Keep 🇨🇦 Canada 🇨🇦 proud.
Well said Mike - very enlightening…you have obviously done your homework :)
Wishing you much success! If I’ve learned nothing in business, I do know this…treat your employees well and they will be very loyal to you. Of course, we know there is always the exception to this rule. Amping!
😮 Lots of eager commenters within 60 minutes of posting. I guess, Mike, you definitely have a reality RUclips TV show now. Thousands are definitely addicted to the Beaver aka Kardashian show.
😂😂
I appreciate you sharing your journey with us Michael, especially all these deeper details of life there. You have a great 'can do' attitude and spirit and are inspirational to me. Thank you.
Great video! Love the idea that lawyers can't advertise. The US would be a far better place, with considerably lower healthcare costs. Edit: Hilarious! Start at 10:00 and 10:00-11:00 is actually breakfast. ;) I'm a business owner in the US and I feel for you. Loved it!
You may want to find a local bakery shop and consign your burger buns with them. That way, you won't ever run out of burger buns, plus, they'd be cheaper and fresher.
Instead of running around looking for supplies you could just tell the customers “sorry sir that not available” or “sorry sir we are out of stock” 😂. You’d blend right in. Seriously though, you could just hire someone to bake buns for you every couple of days. That way you’re sure to not run out and it will probably end up being less expensive.
Thanks Mike, you just gave me an idea what to do in my retirement years. I thought that problem was resolved years ago. Maybe in the big city.
Excellent video! I enjoy following your journey. 👏👏
In Iloilo you can contact many local bakeries to make your buns for burger. Just go to local bakeries in Roxas and asked them if they can give you supply. Or twice a week you asked someone to go to Iloilo to get supply. Roxas is a nice city but you can find everything you need in Iloilo.
Jollibee often contracts local suppliers, including bakeries, to provide their buns. This approach helps them ensure freshness and support local businesses. I think that one bakery was Cakes, Eat, Cetera. Jollibee gave them the formula for their buns with an NDA and the bakery supplies them everyday with freshly baked buns. I think you can do that too, with a very small bakery in Roxas. You can ask La Fuerza bakeshop, Mama's bread, I forgot the others. Those are one of the oldest bakeries in Roxas.
They order thousands.
@@JonMotivationalRend Yes they do. That's why I was suggesting to Michael to look for those smaller bakeries in Roxas to do the job. 50 - 100 buns or more a day and have them delivered would be a good deal.
@Scamander1417 maybe they will do it, but it will be based on numbers to be worthwhile. The good thing is that profit margins are normally low with smaller businesses. But I'm sure the Baker will want you to pay more per bun.
i think it's more common knowledge than you think. There is a reason why most foreigners won't even try.
I really enjoy watching your videos, keep up the great work 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Bottom line, think long and hard about doing business in PH
here in Sj ca they rent restaurants at night to make catered food for companies.
Thats why I invest only in stocks and let other people do all the work for me while Im sleeping or on the beach. Philippines have some great companies like Robinson, Ayala, Puregold, Jolibee, big banks and utilities like Manila Water and Manila Electric.
That way you also make much more money than any restaurants or bar can make over longer periods of time.
Is running around town purchasing business supplies 'overseeing' or working?
Wish they were that protective over jobs here in America.
Ya, employers need to stop exploiting immigrants, I agree
Thats the issues in PH.. there’s nowhere to get quality stuff like buns and other materials for a particular business..the first time i moved back to Ph from Australia i was dismayed in just my first few months..everything is difficult, You need to have miles and miles of patience..You need to know all the Filipino Saints for you to pray whenever you’re down.😂
Just a suggestion mate, take it as you like, maybe if you can find a bakery in Roxas and maybe you can get them to make your own burger buns and bread, just a thought, keep up with the hard work, just don’t burn yourself out 👍🇦🇺
I had heard of the 13 month year. It's why so many places have crap staff. They only keep employees 6 months or so. Hopefully you go for it, and keep good staff.
there must be a pandesal baker in town you can work with for your bread/buns. Work with them and tell them what you want/need and maybe you can even get a volume cost discount from them
the fact that there are no supply delivery companies is just that the sourcing on an Island like Panay is terrible and it is in the hands of huge cooperations, I know this from a friend who has a restaurant in Kalibo. To solve your hamburger bun shortage I can only recommend to seek a local bakery in your area and let them produce (and maybe delivery?) for you? Also when it comes to to meat sourcing, look for a local butcher that can delivery you maybe fresh or frozen meat with consistant quality. But, what I am talking, you are a smart man, you will figure something out. Anyway, I will visit your bar in November and I am hungry, so get it sorted, my friend :-) keep on banging! All the best, you are doing a great job! Take care!
Absolutely!
Very informative. Always admire your videos…,
Buns are very easy , if I can do it you can😂 plus it's enjoyable to do and the smell of the baking will attract customers 😊
One of the first expat videos I watched included these guys (all American) discussing what they miss from back home. Other than the infrastructure, which includes reliability of things, the thing they talked about most was the food. They all like the food in the PH but miss things they enjoyed back home and can't get there. The first thing that came to my mind was 'business opportunity', a market demand. I realize there are reasons others aren't filling the need or, want, but as an American I tend to have an entrepreneurial mind. When I spot a problem I also see an opportunity to be the guy that provides a solution. My mind first went to running a cafe that specializes in western, or even just American, foods. Immediately I realized the issue is getting the supplies/ingredients you need to do that. Then I thought about just importing/exporting various snacks or whatnot that expats miss most and just sell them online. I'm not naive enough to think I'm the first one to spot these ideas. My only point here is that whenever I discover some shortage, issue, lack or void somewhere I think of that as an opportunity to answer the demand. I think there is a way to improve upon all these infrastructure shortcomings and enterprising people will find better ways or provide what is needed.
This is part of the development of that area as I see it. It's not just building condos and installing more AC units. There's a ton of room for improvement and yes perhaps being the vendor or such for some of this could be an early step in vastly improving the logistics for ALL other businesses, and even retail shoppers. I have heard so many complain that you can't rely on anything on a menu actually being available at any given time. I think this supply issue is a huge part of that. Yes, people do say it's not that bad in Cebu, BGC, Manila, etc., but all the places further out depend on a lot of transport to get stock from those places out to the other islands, etc..
Obviously all these problems have challenges to overcoming them but I do believe that enterprising people will answer the call and figure it out. This could be the biggest contribution some westerners make, though probably not retirees living on Soc. Sec., guys like Michael here and others that see the obstacles as opportunities. I'm not saying that the answers can't or won't come from Filapinnos, only that I suspect this sort of mindset is probably more common among westerners. If there is anything we might be able to bring to the table, perhaps this is it.
You can actually bake your own buns it is more easier and consistent for your beaver burgers😊.
Why would you want to open a restraunt bar in phili with supply issues like that
If you only need 30 buns a day and they say that the burger is the selling point of the business how can you stay in business
You created the supply problem. This is because you created your menu from the top down instead of the ground up. You based the menu on your favorite dishes instead of properly researching what ingredients are easily available or have reliable suppliers.
It is very important that you have recipee cards for each dish on your menu...and these cards will contain important information about ingredients (and portion control) and the suppliers (and alternative suppliers) for each ingredient. Phone numbers for all or your suppliers should also be on each recipee card. These written cards are a system that will take some of the pressure off you and help the bar to be managed in your absence. They also ensure that your dishes remain profitable because of portion control and that your recipees are properly documented in the event that your chef quits or fails to show up. Some bars also use recipee cards for their cocktails.
Ask yourself....what is the point of promoting signature dishes when the recipee for those dishes remains inside the head of your chef. What happens if he walks...or demands an unrealistic pay rise? The same issue applies to your head bar tender.
And don't forget, chefs always quit when your restaurant is busy.
You need to start getting some written systems in place.....today.
Otherwise you have not created a business, just a stressful managerial job for yourself that you do not have a visa for.
"Double the size of the place"....how are you going to scale your business if you have no documented systems in place?
You will never have the right people in place. Only the right systems.
You know your onion's pal and the system you speak of is absolutely invaluable.
Wow - this is amazing! Thank you!
Have 1 of your staff be the runner for the veg etc ..speak to the supplier to supply you a certain quantity every week..find a bakery or private baker that can do your burger buns from home..there must be someone that will do it
Ya, sounds like a lot to do when starting and or operating a business. Glad you are treating your employees well. Good video, Michael...Jim
Good info for anyone starting a business. It is not easy here to do that as there are so many rules and things you need to do.That extra months pay at the end of the year is basically like vacation pay in Canada. In and around Dumaguete there are a few bakeries that make burger and hot dog buns and when they have them they don't last long. So perhaps getting a bakery to make the buns will work for you. I am not sure about the lawyer thing you were talking about as Pea has her lawyer friend on her channel several times and even posts her info in the comments. Like someone else said if you can colaberate with some local businesses you should be able to keep a good supply. You have fishing boats right there so you should be able to get fresh fish all the time. I have a friend who lives on the beach and he gets fresh fish from the fishermen when they come in and delivered right to his door. I know you will work it out just takes time to get to know where you can get what and keep a good supply
Thanks
Thank you so much! Very appreciated
I personally would hire a baker, buy an oven, and make your own baked goods, such as the hamburger buns. One of my favorite restaurants in the U.S., Der Dutchman, has a bakery and they not only make all of the baked goods for their restaurant, but have their baked goods in the lobby which people always buy to take home as they’re leaving.
CAN U CONTACT A BAKERY THERE AN HAVE THEM MAKE THE HAMBUGER BUN FOR U THAT FITS U R STANDARD
It is all about the raw mater🎉🎉ials bro. Since the labor is cheap, try bake your personal bread that is unigue to your persoal experience...Good luck on your personal life journey..
This was super helpful and very informative Michael. Thank you for the explanation. Now the only question is how you create sysco type foodservice and make a profit because many will source locally to save costs. However everyone knows that what is on any menu in the Philippines isn't always available because they lack the food logistics you reference.
Definitely need to make your own buns ❤
For stock I would rent or borrow a truck and send someone or yourself to iloilo once a week and pickup everything you need. Only use in town for things that run out during that week.
At what point does the Phils mafia stop by for their cut?
PHL mafia? It's Rhetoric just a myth non-existent sterio typing that started with American ingenuity swinging at air ball.
Offer Patty Melts on the menu as well. Easy to toast "regular" white sliced bread.
Or sliders on the menu too. Just a thought.
Complex
So if you have a long-term lease and your business goes out of business, what is the consequences of that situation? Do you have to buy out your lease? Is there a clause that if your business is not successful, the lease is cancelled
Grew up in a restaurant-- get your own baker -- even if it someone from home -- as long as she has a freezer she can make a good supply for you
Really wish you all the luck in your business venture.I also hope and pray your business partner (s)don’t take advantage of you.Good luck!!
Can you also buy Loafs of White Bread sliced 🍞 in case you run out of Hamburger Buns and sell them as Classic Hamburger Melts or Chicken Sandwich Melts? 🥪 Honestly I prefer my Hamburger or Chicken Sandwich with two slices of bread because it is a lot less white bread dough then regular Hamburger buns. If you have a regular Toaster you can Toast both Slices of bread and add a bit of Butter to both slices or you can add Mayonnaise to both slices and it comes out excellent. It is called Texas Toast if you add Butter. You can also advertise it as Texas Toast Burger if you toast it and add Butter. I do not know if this helped but I figured suggesting this option would not hurt.
Thanks 👍
If buns not available at a local bakery, delete hamburger. Gardenia makes great wheat bread to make a patty melt in two or three styles. They'll love it ❣️
I think it's great how you look after your staff you could get away with paying them less but you like to be a good employer. You keep saying it's because if you want the best people you have to pay well and although that's true I think it has more to do with you being a nice guy and actually caring about your staff.
lots of local bakeries there in roxas ... Jollibee I believe is having cakes eat etc taking care of their buns.
In the Philippines, if your business capital is from 200,000 USD or above you can register your business under your name only without the need for a Filipino partner. I do recommend opening a salon for full service like the way in Thailand where they can do everything regardless of beautification for men and women, and all you need is to provide all the tools and find expert training Filipinas. Watch some RUclips of Vietnamese Salon in Thailand, and you will know exactly what I’m talking about as a backup income for you. The best location for that business will be in Makati, an iconic spot. People in Manila are classy, and they do care about the shape of their look. It’s your choice after all.
@@Abdul.. except retail business, "Under the RTLA, the minimum paid-up capital for foreign retail investments has been reduced to ₱25 million, from the previous US$2.5 million (₱125 million)." So now it's 427k usd
You might be able to get Angelina to deliver buns to your shop from their main bakery in Iloilo. I know they produce a lot for groceries all over Panay but they might cater small businesses too. :)
In business you in its extremely hard u nt see a profit maybe untell in a year your guests have keep coming and u have offer specials on weekends do dance night do brithdays bash and list goes on even do delivery anything to kepp your over head going payrole thats Labor cost and rent and supplies its hard you have be devoted
Micheal workout a contract with a local philippino bakery to make hamburger buns for your Daily by weekly what you would need on daily bases depending on projections Thurs Fridays Saturday and Sundays will be more customers on those days. Hope this Suggestion Helps
Look for a local bakeshop there and have a conservation of what kind of hamburger buns are u looking for,have u been to cakes etcetera ?down Legaspi St. a local bakeshop.
Good Mike
Logistics and supply chain are problematic in an archipelagic country of 7600 islands. Each province should have a cold storage facility
I'd love to hear specifically what licenses and such you need and how owning a business like this affects your visa status.
Retail business cant get you any visa because you cant directly own a retail business unlike other industries where you can have your name directly on the company. will fo the members video soon on details
The best business in the pines is a machine welding shop no credit. food is is also good , you can buy a bread bun making machine which are small 4 at a time .
make your own buns, i make my own at home and all kinds of bread, its very easy and its fresher then any ones you will buy in the store. Make sure you do a potatoe bun tho gives it a much better flavor
Starting/owning a business in the Philippines is really not that problematic. My Filipina wife, of 12 years, and I own residential property, from which we earn a considerable monthly income. We also own commercial property. We operated a coffee shop and and a store, near a hospital, so we got a decent regular through trade, but we then chose to lease the properties out to local Filipina business-people. They pay their rent on time, they make a living and that is all we or they care about. We obeyed the laws and abided by the regulations. We own the land so ultimately it is still ours. The people who run the business have decent, long-term leases so everybody wins.
Make your own buns.
Hard to source western food stuffs here. Wholesale accountant S&R is a huge help. They are right about using a local bakery for burger and hotdog buns. Shopkeepers and zada are pretty good, but the sellers run out of stock when you need it the most. We make our own mozzarella and ricotta here. Buns and Italian bread are easy too. Do them the b
Night before or come in early in the morning. Hard when you close late.ilo ilo is the closest. Monthly road-trip
Mike, I started a restaurant business on remote island in Greece, successful for 17 years. My suggestion for fairly long term solution is find some secure freezer storage, either with a company or put something in your yard at home, so you can buy or produce some bulk, which hopefully can reduce some cost of food. I was lucky I had storage, usually when stuff was cheap i bought extra, like fresh tuna, canned goods, bread.
Sounds risky AF where he is, with power outages they probably have.
Cakes etc they make hamburger bun and hotdogs bun here in roxas city. Jolibee gets their bun there.
It is easier to do business in big cities..there are heaps of suppliers for you to choose.
Funny how I know of the things you speak of.
However, a large chain (250+ locations) here pays employees 300 per day ~ period. There's no overtime unless they work on a holiday. Nine & 1/2 and 10 hour shifts. Paid meals? Hahaha
My BetterHalf does make certain that they keep up the SS and Fiilcare.
Thirteen month? LOL! She does push for 1 week paid vacation. Oh BTW, this outfit also charges employees if inventory in their assigned area is out of stock or has expired dates.
Also, they charge all store employees a penalty if the inventory count is short.
Years ago she worked for another well known family that owns restaurants at all Robinson Place malls. She then worked in their large department store. (Not Robinson... I know better than to name these businesses.)
Same crap went on in those large well known businesses.
Wish you luck.
As an Expat tourist you definitely have challenges in owning a business in the Philippines. It is not fair that your competitors will likely not be so good to their employees. So you will have more overhead than the competition. 😢
i retired at 47 family , or friends alsways asked me to do a busines with them , they never mentioned their monies being used. Or what we would be doing. even at a bar peoples would ask for a free drinks. I knew failure rates of businesses it was a part of my sales pitch to show the company I sold for was 35 years in business and a stable company for warrenty of 15 years. why would i put my wealth at risk? as a salemen i got 100% comission I got paid very well no major headaches. Nice portfolio etc. Tough gig but damn retired early now 66. and even more wealth. Its tough gettin there. Its even tougher keepin it from others. Or never telling a soul. Your business aint for me, no way. But i know peoples that lived there and they started business for something to do?? I hope you success whatever that entails.. Gotta have trustworthy peoples.. i was asked to work for new companies put up monies hell no my plan was to retire not to take risks.. to each their own..
There is no way, Not Supply and demand, Thats just the start if it all, to many get robbed blind from worker’s. Stick with farming. God Bless
I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW TODAY.
You gotta invest machinery and make your own hamburger buns. Its easier and you will not having to rely on stores for supply chain issues.
You still have to rely on the ingredients to make the buns. You will be competing with all the local bakeries for those ingredients. Better to get a good local bakery and have them change their production of other types of bread so they can make your buns. I'm sure you could find a bakery or two that would be willing to fill orders for you every week. Having two would help with his supply chain.
1) bread oven cost is high and getting one takes time to receive . It's the Philippines which doesn't have efficient delivery infrastructure.
2) have you seen his bar? No room / space for bread oven.
3) developing a relationship with a bakery supplier would be best.
Giving 50% off to beavers (and their guests!) isn't exactly a path to profitability
You're partially right, It's a new business, and marketing is important, giving 50% discount is basically getting FREE advertisement to local people to try their food (as Food cost is typically 30-35%) getting them to set foot in the door is the most important thing, so I say you're partially right because I think it should be for a certain amount of time only, after getting them to try it, he should start making some profit eventually
It's a great way though to get people to try your place out. So much in the food business is habit forming.
You may want to contact Bread n Butter in Kalibo for yuge orders of burger buns. :)
Try a bakery and have them make you some. Find recipe online
You mean to tell us there is no bakery in roxas? There’s probably a few. They would be more fresh too. You should be supporting your local bakery.
Excellent video!! Great information about things that many do not know about. Seems like a lot of hurdles to get over to understand the ins and outs of operating a business in the Philippines.
Also how hard was it to get a business visa so you can work? So you can own a business as long as you are not working? Very interesting visa rules.
Wow, that’s difficult when you have to do that kind of thing but it’s not complicated to make your own buns. I’m sure you’re cooked can do that.
Start making your own if having high demands.
Maybe you can contract with a local bakery to make you the fresh buns every morning. I'm sure they would be happy to get the extra business.
