This is my first attempt at starting my own business under a home-grown brand known as "Veggie Express". "Veggie Express" is a modern vegetarian cafe aimed to serve more vegetarian customers delicious and healthy vegetarian meals at a more affordable price, as well as promoting healthy eating and environment friendly. As a vegetarian and nature lover, I was intrigued by this idea and decided to join this growing Entrepreneurship. From here, I gained the most experience in Shop Management, Teamwork and Leadership, as well as Marketing Strategy. I mainly handle the operation by coordinating the staffs; I have also learnt to handle basic kitchen work in order to teach the SOP to new staffs. In addition, I have also managed the Facebook page at the time, improved on my writing skills, and learnt how to create simple template designs for social media postings. However, this idea is still fresh in Malaysia and requires a lot of funding which affected the cash flow, which in turn affected the business sustainability. Nevertheless, I was happy with the experience I gained and will definitely attempt a second try after I gained more funds and better experience.

Reason of resign

Business not successful.
