Plan
The test in one line, the portion, and the money.
Sell 50 bowls to your own area in 14 days, and get 10 of those people to order again.
Likes and shares do not count. Paid orders count. Repeat orders count double, because the slogan is a repeat-rate promise. Hit these numbers and you have proof and a reason to spend more. Miss them and you learn why for less than the price of a phone case.
Think like an owner, not like the cook
P85 bowl
P159 platter
You answered: P190 a kilo, 9 whole wings per kilo. Cut into flat and drumette that is 18 pieces, about P10.60 each. If it is really 9 pieces after cutting (very large wings), say so in a comment and the numbers change. The platter is P26.50 a piece against P42.50 in the bowl and still earns about P68, so it is your upsell, not a discount. At P190 wings the margin is thinner than the first estimate, so grams per piece and the real sauce cost matter more.
Startup capital
| Item | Total | Each |
|---|---|---|
| Breading, without wings | 173 | |
| Flavor bases, 5 flavors | 946 | |
| Rice, 2 kg | 110 | |
| Packaging (bowls, paper, spoons, sticker) | 474 | |
| Subtotal, matches your P855 each | 1,703 | 855 |
| Wings, 2 kg at P190 | 380 | 190 |
| Drinks supplies (your list adds to 704) | 704 | 352 |
| Total to start | 2,787 | 1,394 |
Fuel at P1,500 a month sits outside this, and it is the only recurring cost you listed. That line says "gasoline, Taguig", which reads as transport. Cooking gas (LPG) is not on the list anywhere.
What you must sell to stand still
At about P41 a bowl, 50 bowls is roughly P2,040 of margin: a month of fuel and half the startup money back, in two weeks. Drinks and platters come on top of that.
Drinks are your best margin and they are not on the menu
Cup, straw, ice, and flavor land near P9 a serving. At P25 to P30 a cup, that is a P16 to P21 margin, better than the bowl. Add "Lychee or Blueberry cooler, P25" to the menu board before the test starts. Bundle: bowl + drink P105.
To do
What the plan does not cover yet, and today's taste test.
| Flavor | Taste | Looks in bowl | Easy to cook | Cheap to make | Total | Keep? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cheesy | ||||||
| Creamy Salted Egg | ||||||
| Honey Garlic | ||||||
| Buffalo | ||||||
| Garlic Parmesan |
Also record today: pieces per kilo, grams per piece, minutes to fry one batch, and how many bowls one batch of sauce covers. Those four numbers replace the estimates in Plan.
Test
Step by step, the order log, and the day-14 verdict.
Your barangay plus one office or school where one of you already knows people. Small and close beats wide and far. Delivery by hand within that area only.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Orders close at 12 noon, pickup or delivery 5 to 7 pm. A cutoff means you buy exactly the wings you need and throw nothing away.
Three flavors, bowl P85, platter P159, drink P25, bowl + drink P105. Real photos of your bowl, taken in daylight, not the AI art. People buy what they can see.
GCash before cooking, or cash on pickup for people you know. Reply with one line: name, order, flavor, time. Copy that line into the sheet before you start frying.
The columns are in the Order log tab. The sheet is not admin work. It is the proof you are trying to produce.
One sentence, from the page: how was it, and next cook day is Friday. Count who orders again. That is your repeat number.
Bowls sold, repeat buyers, flavor mix, real cost per bowl, cash left. Then read the Verdict.
Tab 1: Orders, one row per order
| Column | What goes in |
|---|---|
| Date | Cook day |
| Name | As they typed it in Messenger |
| Mobile | For the day-3 message |
| Area | Street or building |
| Item | Bowl, platter, drink, bundle |
| Flavor | One of the three |
| Qty | Pieces ordered |
| Amount | Pesos received |
| Paid via | GCash or cash |
| Pickup or delivery | And the address if delivered |
| New or repeat | Repeat if the mobile number appears before |
| Feedback | Whatever they said on day 3, word for word |
Tab 2: Cook day tally, one row per day
Three numbers you read on day 14
If you pass
You have 50 paid orders, 10 repeat names, and a margin that held. Now it is worth spending: a bigger wings buy from Angono at a better per-kilo price, a simple mobile order page so the customer list grows on its own, and a permit so you can take a stall or a weekend market slot. Bring the sheet to that conversation. It is your pitch.
If you miss
Fewer than 50 orders but strong repeats means a reach problem: widen the area, not the menu. Plenty of first orders but no repeats means a product problem: fix the wings before you spend a peso on posts. Margin under P40 means the sauce, the oil, or the price is off. The sheet will show which. Missing is a P2,787 lesson, the cheapest one you will ever buy.
