As far as I know, the initial investment of a small Malatang shop is about 50,000 yuan, with a rent of about 30,000 yuan and equipment of 20,000 yuan. My personal advice at the beginning is not to invest too much. The most important thing is to focus on the hygiene and taste of food. Without understanding your city and consumption environment, it is difficult to conduct further analysis. You can learn more about the surrounding situation around the store. You should know Hu Lao Qi Tang, and other Mala Lao Tang, etc., which are all derivative brands of Mala Tang. Catering focuses on the ability to purchase, season, and manage cash. If you grasp these three links, you will have no problem making profits. In addition, the store must be chosen in residential areas, schools, stations, docks, and hospitals where people gather. It is best for the shop to be around 50 square meters, and not less than 40 square meters!
