In addition, the catering industry has always been very popular among entrepreneurs because it has the lowest investment threshold and the strongest explosive power.

Experts in the catering industry have analyzed that the most profitable projects in catering at this stage are breakfast shops, casual drink shops and Chinese specialty snack bars.

Breakfast shops and casual drink shops have the advantages of low costs, high profits, and quick recovery. The average investment cost is 20,000-100,000 yuan, and the average net profit is 25%-35%. Generally, the investment can be recovered in 6-9 months. Therefore, it is the first choice that many entrepreneurs should consider.

Industry experts suggest that at this stage, the single-store format of these two types of stores is no longer easy to achieve good results in a short period of time, and it is even difficult to survive in some areas with particularly fierce competition. Therefore, Entrepreneurs may wish to consider starting a business by joining a well-known brand, but they must be particularly careful when choosing a truly competitive franchise headquarters.

Chinese local specialty snacks have always been favored.

However, the cost of opening a store is relatively high, about 200,000 yuan. However, if it can be operated as a chain franchise, the cost can be reduced by lowering the purchase price of seafood, and the gross profit and profit margin can be increased.

This means that the above-mentioned cities have the environment for large-scale development of convenience stores, and the market space is very large.

The scale of the convenience store industry is far from saturated in China. Take Beijing, an economically developed city, as an example: Judging from the development pattern of convenience stores, every 3,000 people need a convenience store. Based on Beijing’s urban population of 8 million, Beijing needs at least 2,000 convenience stores.
