My friends and I were thinking of putting up a food house that sells popular street foods. I know that by doing this beats the purpose of the name of these foods but even these street foods are already sold in malls and they are three to four times more expensive than those sold in streets. Plus, those in the streets can cause different illnesses such as diarrhea. A lot of people have actually suffered because of the bacteria from street foods and the location where these foods are prepared and sold are a big factor on its impact on the consumers. So do you think this is a good idea? Your responses will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Well the purpose of street food is that it's cheap right? But think about the expenses you would need to set up the food house. It would be pretty expensive and the bills and all. It's different setting to selling food on the street stalls. If you can cover those costs, then why not? =]

Hi there. So do you still think it's a good idea? Of course, the costs will always be considered there.

It sounds like a really good idea. Where I live we don't have a lot of street food. What types of foods are you thinking of selling? I do think there needs to be some sort of fast food restaurant that provides a LARGE variety of foods.

It is good as far as the cost factor considered. Because the owner need not spend money for rent and so. SO they can sale food items at reduced cost. however, the hygienic as aspect, it is not good, if you are able to maintain hygienic, then you can start and do your business. People normally prefer to take food items for the sake cost effective
