The weekend passed so fast that I forgot to breath.
On Saturday was the launching of my Shisha business at Taj Mahal at Seri Petaling. I am collaborating with BusinessPartner2 (BP2). I see the idea as a great opportunity given the location. What is more important that BP2 is very enthusiastic of running the show. I am very glad that she is because, honestly I know nuts about shisha. Barely could have a decent drag without choking. But as I said again, the meager Excel spreadsheet I use for the PnL shows potential.
Close friends came to show their support and that was really thoughtful of them, brick and bats are highly appreciated and we took note that the charcoals used last night are useless.
The team that set up the joint:
Me – Co-owner, the active sleeping partner that counts the dosh
BP2 – Co-owner, Operations Manager – skilled in smoking the hookah and PR skills that charmed the Mamak owner
Abe – Shisha Consultant – highly skilled in hookah retail and every detail of the art of smoking it (hired 4 hours before stall opened)
Adek – Operations Assistant – very fit and surpass expectations.
Friends, and friends of friends – supporters.
Tonight is Day 2, for Shisha. Spirits are still running high. I just got a text that orders are picking up and that is a very good sign. I am very happy that BP2 shows a change person now, not that I should judge her then. But all in all, I have faith in her and given her personal liking for Shisha, I think this is a good business for her too.
I pray that this goes well. I must have been really knackered last night from running around (even though I wasn’t the one hammering charcoals). I dreamt that the Shisha business went really well and I was about to announce an all paid company trip to the team. HAHA! Well, you never know rite? And it always starts as a dream.
Ending this, I invite you to come smoke some hot-ass flavored Shisha at Taj Mahal, Seri Petaling. The food is great too, like you can sing...
"Baby, where did u get your curry from - I got it from my MaMak,
Where did u get your kopi from - I got it from my MaMak.."
Seri Petaling is surprisingly near to PJ, Bukit Jalil, Kompleks Sukan Negara, Puchong, Old Klang Road, Mid Valley, Bangsar and Cheras.
