What to look at on the map

  • 👣Foot-traffic proxy

    Walk-in foot traffic AT MEAL TIMES specifically.

  • 🏠Residential density (500m)

    Delivery range typically 2-3km — surrounding flats = orders.

  • 🌃Evening / nightlife activity

    Late-night munchies = big revenue tail.

Investment outlook

Before you commit, here's the real-world cost picture for a fast food / takeaway:

Single-concept takeaway (fried chicken, burger): NZ$80-150k / US$60-120k / ¥25-60万. Franchise (KFC-style): much higher franchise fee + capex.

Common rookie mistakes

The mistakes that sink first-time fast food / takeaway owners aren't the ones you read about in startup blogs. The recurring ones are:

  • ⚠Ignoring delivery platform commissions (Uber Eats / Meituan take 20-30%)
  • ⚠Picking residential streets with no walk-in — delivery alone rarely covers rent
  • ⚠Underestimating equipment costs (fryer, freezer, POS, hood) for compliance
