00:00 The famous Japanese food, Ramen, is not only available in Japan and in malls.
00:06 Because it is a street in Manila, it is sold and is being sold in large numbers.
00:11 The way of eating it is called "Kiosk" in the streets of Japan.
00:19 That is the business of Adriana Tron and her friends.
00:23 This is the Ramen on the street that can reach.
00:28 Our usual concept is to attempt the instant Ramen.
00:35 Because the definition of Ramen is a bit expensive.
00:40 So we attempt to get the instant Ramen.
00:43 It is really a street style.
00:45 We are four owners here.
00:47 We started with four.
00:49 We also push carts, cook outside.
00:52 We put a tent.
00:56 And then we cook there.
00:59 They thought of Ramen as a product because it is not yet available in their area.
01:06 Their business has just started to challenge their friends.
01:11 It is a bit difficult because there is no perfect dish that you can cook first.
01:18 So until we learned, we have no big goal.
01:26 We started with 7,000 each.
01:30 We are four.
01:31 Some of us borrowed money.
01:34 Like me, I sold my son's PS3 PS4 to have a little income.
01:41 To sell their business, they made a gimmick on the street.
01:46 Actually, we started with a low budget.
01:51 We cannot afford to get a place in a mall.
01:56 So we started with a simple cart.
02:01 We made it look like what it looks like now.
02:04 Until we didn't know that it is profitable.
02:09 Then we just roll it.
02:11 Because it is on the street, Paroquiano can sell their Ramen faster.
02:17 They also built the Ramen Street here.
02:21 When we first opened, we only had two stoves.
02:26 Now, we have eight.
02:30 We only had three tables before.
02:32 We saw that the customers, the people who eat here, they are coming back.
02:39 And because they already know the Ramen Street,
02:43 with their promotion, the challenge in their business has increased.
02:48 We are just on the sidewalk.
02:50 It is challenging for us.
02:53 Sometimes, we get calls, we get replaced.
02:57 When it rains, we expect that very few people will go.
03:04 But it does not disappear.
03:06 The advantage is that we can see each other.
03:09 Anyone can pass.
03:12 Because we always see each other.
03:14 It is like, it is a constant attention to the people passing by.
03:22 That is why the group of Adriana Tron,
03:25 is thinking of another discount.
03:27 Until someone offered us the position in the kitchen.
03:34 But still, Ramen Street,
03:37 I talked to our chairman here,
03:40 for the safety of our customers,
03:44 we requested that they can monitor the area.
03:48 Their food became more popular with their customers on the street.
03:54 The reason is so that they can eat other Japanese food,
03:57 like rice meal and side dishes.
03:59 When we started, we were already happy with 5,000 pesos.
04:05 Maybe 20,000 pesos.
04:07 5,000 pesos, we are already happy.
04:10 Maybe 20,000 to 30,000 servings of ramen a day.
04:15 We are already happy with that.
04:17 We did not expect that.
04:20 We can sell 200 to 250 ramen bowls only.
04:25 Only, without the rice meal.
04:26 Without the rice meal.
04:27 Wait, wait, wait.
04:30 It seems that this is just the beginning of Adriana Tron.
04:33 Am I going to be last?
04:35 Of course not.
04:36 We are here at night,
04:38 because the business we went to in Sampaloc, Manila,
04:41 is running at night.
04:43 Let's see why they thought that their business is at night,
04:48 while it is long during the day.
04:50 Ron and Nick have an idea of this ramen.
04:58 You did not put up a restaurant there.
05:02 Actually, before, we did not see anything unique in the street of ramen.
05:07 Before, we always saw ramen in the mall.
05:10 How many orders did you have?
05:11 119.
05:12 119.
05:13 It started with 119.
05:14 119.
05:15 Yes.
05:16 It is really a lot.
05:17 And tonight, we will be confused with the addition of ramen street.
05:22 Hey, it's delicious.
05:26 This is Oliver's order.
05:29 Oliver, Oliver, Oliver, customer Oliver, please come over.
05:32 It looks delicious, so I have to taste it.
05:38 Let's see if we are two thumbs up in street ramen here in Sampaloc, Manila.
05:44 Of course, this is the reward.
05:47 Here it is.
05:51 We are really on the street during these times.
05:54 Let's taste it.
05:58 It's delicious.
05:59 It's like you are in Japan.
06:04 There.
06:05 It's delicious.
06:09 They say that the business is really about the business.
06:13 They earn 100,000 pesos per month.
06:16 It's just passion and love in cooking.
06:19 If you love what you are doing,
06:23 if you have passion in what you are doing,
06:28 even if it's just 30% markup,
06:32 it's okay for you.
06:35 You will still be able to give the quality of food that you will serve to the customer.
06:42 More or less, less than 100.
06:45 Adrian and Ron also want to share the key to their success.
06:50 Hard work.
06:52 If you say hard work, you don't have a fixed time,
06:57 you don't have a fixed day.
06:59 You just have to push your dreams in your life.
07:05 It's normal to be tired.
07:07 There's no easy job.
07:09 Gimmicks are a big thing in business.
07:13 But before any kind of confusion,
07:15 the quality of the product should be ensured first,
07:18 so that the winner is also sure.
07:21 Hello?
