A Women and Her Shop


We had EAT-OUT on our office cafeteria. Basically it will serve the Juice, Magi, Sandwich etc.. it was so comfortable with all the employees that, if they came without the breakfast or they were hungry they can go to cafeteria and have some thing. Since there Wireless also works, people used to enjoy. As per my knowledge income was good for EAT-OUT owner also.

One day suddenly shop was closed no one was there on the shop to serve. i thought, may be that guy is on leave; my open in couple of days. since we have not got any update from admin team, i believed that it has not been closed.
days, weeks and month is over, but no sign of any one and finally one day they have removed the complete shop. i was surprised why admin has not given any notice to the users. I was blaming whenever i get the opportunity. bcoz i used spend almost 200-300rs per month. I was happy to spend there instead of going outside and waste 30-40min.

After some days a we were having the tea on cafeteria, a women was enquiring about how to setup the shop, where is the power point, where to keep fruits...etc..she did not look like a she can setup the kind of shop which was there earlier or batter than that. She had innocent face, she was speaking very politely, married, if someone shouts, she will defiantly cry there only; such women wanted to setup the shop in our cafeteria. I was there to have the tea, once i finished i left the area.and was expecting some kind of mail form admin team, to introduce the new EAT-OUT.

i didn't get.

As always, we went to cafeteria for having tea; and EAT-OUT was open!. was like Ooo My GOD.They have reduced the space given to last time than now, it is too small to stand there and do some work for her. all the fruits and other stuffs has been kept neatly & properly on the old rack itself, and amazingly she was standing in the shop(if she sits she will not be visible) all around the clock. she didn't even asked for chair.

I have observing shop for almost week; i don't find any good business she would have made. and i was think if she continues like this she will close the shop soon.

i just started, what i would have made if i wanted to setup EAT-OUT in any office.

1. Before the week of setting up, i would have made admin team to send the information about my shop.
2. Would have distributed the broachers and posted the posters in cafeteria
3. Would have made new design, so that users will come to see the shop
4. Would inaugurated the shop such way that at least 100 users would have been there and on that occasion i would distributed the sweets and other junkies.
5. Would have made some start up offers to the users.
And so on..

Everybody makes the business but very few will succeed.
that's why i always believe,


Winners does not do different things, they do things differently.
