During the day i normally spend it preparing the snack and last tea. The evening is the business time.
My Business
After finishing my secondary education i needed money to pay for my further education and my family were not able to pay for my education. So i started this business (mobile cafe or you can call it outside catering).I normally sell tea and some snacks. I do sell my tea and snacks in the evening. In the afternoon i prepare the tea and snacks and i sell the in the evening. In the area there's other cafe and hotels. But all of them they dont have tea in the evening. They normally sell their tea in the morning. I normally go with my tea and snacks to the customers (i walk with it, i mean mobile) or you can call it outside catering. I sell my goods to shopkeepers, Taxi drivers and sells representatives the town area of Sun n Sand and other people. I started the business with one thermos holding ten cups only, but i have manage to buy two big thermos of five liters each and 40 cups. Each cup of tea i sell it at Ksh 20 and in a day i can sell about 70 cups. Which make a total of Ksh 1400. I sell snacks of Ksh 700. The total sell in a day is Ksh 2100. Expenditures are as follows.
