Stall opening

Opening of a hawker stall seem easy but when you actually go thru the whole process, it did not seem easy for me. First of all, need to do bidding of stall. so constantly need to look out for new stall available. Once the bidding process is over, you will signed for the tendency agreement and get the key. They let you have a grace period of 2 week to do the necessary preparation before they start to charge you the rental. These seem fair to me. After that, you will need to start to look for contractor to do up all your bain marie,shelves,fridge etc. As most know the hawker stall are usually very small take mine for instance is only eight meter sq. I do find it a challenge to place in all the equipment and fixtures and need to make more space for storage.   All installation will need to be drafted out and send in for approval by NEA. Need to liase with electrician and the signboard maker. The following are some picture that i have taken when i got the key and checking the stall for the first time.
