1.4.4 Self-employment opportunities
Source: www.business-management-degree.net/faq
Working for yourself is similar to entrepreneurship except that most individuals in this position, for
example, a Cosmetologist or Baker, did not “invent” the product or profession they are pursuing. Most
often, the service or item already exists. They are generally performing the same job as others they are
supervising. However, some of the same qualities and skills may apply to the self-employed. You must
be flexible; no more specified schedule or “passing the blame” to anyone else…you’re it. You will be
responsible for all decision-making and solving all crises.
If you are self-employed, you certainly need to be motivated. There’s no one to tell you what to do or
when to do it. You must be able to plan ahead and use your time wisely.

preferences. They can be employed
by individuals, families, or caterers, or

available product, customers tend to
value exclusivity when it comes to
coffee, meaning they’re more receptive
to new brands.
Benefits: Small-brand advantage and
low barrier of entry – meaning your
products are coming from third party so
focus on branding your product rather
than developing it.

challenge for a lot of customers,
meaning there’s a high demand for

them.

1.4.6 Procedure plan for street vending
Venue set up – vending stall
Source: squareup.com
Page 41 of 67
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
The food stall has moved from an ordinary food stall to a market add-on to a powerhouse of creativity,
cuisine, and style. Ideal for an up-and-coming chef with a flair for customer service and the passion to
take your food to hungry customers.
1. Location: is the place that the business is operating from. The first step is to get information on
regulations that are in place. Investigate where the customers are and target those areas. An area
that is close to running water and near a steady pedestrian traffic flow. The passer-by must be able
to see the stall and the food on offer.
2. Layout: The stall must be well organised. The venue should have adequate ventilation. It should have
a sink area, cold storage area, a trolley/cabinet with all the commodities and equipment required for
dishes, a preparation area and a serving counter with a cash register.
3. Selling practice
3.1 Product:
The choice of product up for sale is very important
3.2 Cost
The cost of ingredients, the overheads (gas, electricity, and operating license) and labour cost
must be calculated to determine the selling price. The aim must be to make a profit.
4. Marketing
Branding is important to attract the attention of attracting customers. The delicious aromas of your
food may be enough to entice customers, an eye-catching stall will attract customers. Nameplate with
business name must be easy to see. The name is all customers will have to go on when you have no
permanent location. Decorate it with lights and colours, items that reflects your identity as a brand.
Convey your branding over onto your social media channels, packaging and website. Even if you’re
just starting out, make sure all your logos across your channels are consistent and something that
customers remember.
5. Hygiene and safety
The correct cleaning steps for food contact surfaces are as follows:
1. Wipe away any food leftovers and rinse with water.
2. Wash with hot water and detergent to remove any grease.
3. Sanitise using a food sanitiser.
4. All food handlers must have good personal hygiene and clean clothing.
5. All open wounds must be covered with a coloured waterproof dressing or wear
disposable glove.
6. Disposable gloves should be changed frequently, and hands washed with liquid soap
and water.
7. Food handlers must not smoke in or around the food stall.
8. No person suffering gastro symptoms should handle food.
Consult with a lawyer to make sure your licenses are in-line with your legal requirements.
Licensing for street market stalls must be in-line with the law on:
Food hygiene certifications
Page 42 of 67
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Health and Safety and Fire Risk
Street trading licences
Risk Assessment / HACCP completion
Gas safety certificates
Hand washing facilities
6. Heating medium (electricity /coal / wood / gas)
The electricity source must be considered. Electricity will be required to operate heating appliances and
electric frying. Make prior arrangements before arriving at a spot so that you comply with the required
standards
The following mediums can be used for preparing food in the street vending stall
Electricity
Making use of snappy chef single / double plates to cook /
prepare food. Require electricity for recharging (different types
available) to use inside the vending stall. Might contribute to
electricity costs but also requiring more larger ones for being able
to prepare more food in a certain time.

due to saving electricity expenses for the
business.

Making use of coal to cook / prepare food. It
provides a long period of time constant heat for
