dudu Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) the price is meaningless without understanding what's included and if there is a good regular customer base that doesn't rely on tourists then presumably the figures will speak for themselves. Just ask around how much it costs to equip a restaurant and establish a loyal customer base - the number of (good) places that open and fold are a testament to how people underestimate what a slog it can be. Just looking at the key money, over a ten year ownership that would equate to 44k p/m before rent, power, staff, products etc. etc. Let's hope that customer base stays loyal. Never mind all numbers of possible political, social (and even natural) turmoil that is quite probable within that timeframe. If 5.3m isn't pocket change I would recommend something a bit more stable. When he sold Happy Pizza, the customer base stayed loyal, and moved to his new place Yummy Pizza. In the end the new owner of Happy Pizza walked away losing 100% of the key money. The new owner wasn't very happy that he bought a business with no customers. Thats is not true, you obviously have no idea.so please do not say things like that,it is slander with a touch of defamation, secondly.Happy was taken over in August 2011,by December,he had a trickle of customers left, Yummy opened in February 2012, please get your facts right.

Popular Post Thighlander Posted September 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2013 I recall the owner of Ye Olde Bell was asking 2.3.....and got ZERO. With 5.3, you should set up a company and buy property, then open your own place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how it could be slander or defamation, just the truth as Devant saw it. Devants (new owner) fault for not having the smarts to get a contract specifying old owner can't start any food selling or alcohol selling business up in the CM Amphur for 5 years.

junglechef Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Would be surprised to see a no competition clause here for that size business and shocked to see it work! As for selling price sales and profits would also be hard to determine if someone wanted to inflate the figures. Putting a priced on goodwill and/or customer base is like a lot of things, what someone is willing to pay. What I find naive is people with no experience buying restaurants and thinking they can run them with similar quality and sense of hospitality as the person who made it what is was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always in Thailand, don't expect anything close to proper, correct, legal solutions, as standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thighlander Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I haven't had Pizza one time, in the four months that I have been here (this time). Don't really miss it. It's just another item on a long list of things that are cheaper and better in America. I did see a new Pizza Hut promotion, two 8 slice pizza for 298 delivered. Good luck competing with that. Oh, and being held hostage by outrageous duties on cheese? No Thank You! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglechef Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) Though I don't really understand a lot of that last post I also would not eat pizza if I spent time Stateside every year. If I didn't have kids it would be a rare occasion here anyways. Edited September 16, 2013 by junglechef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 If I was going back to America regularly, I would never eat pizza, hamburgers, steak, fish and chips or Mexican food in Thailand, but I have not been home in decades and have to make do sometimes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericpasansai Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Funny--I thought his pizza was revolting. If he didn't lead with "yummy pizza " I wouldn't have been so disappointed. His other dishes were less revolting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His other dishes were less revolting. Revolting? Then you have no taste, literally!! Tonys pizzas are excellent, among the best in Chiang Mai (and I m not getting involved in the "whos best" argument), are you sure you werent at another restaurant altogether? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
