Are employee run pushcart profitable?
 
Hi! I am keen to set-up a pushcart business, but as I am working full-time, I would like to employ someone to run it for me. Can anyone tell me if this is viable? i.e. will i be able to make enough to pay the rental, the employee and still make profits.

Hi! Ken,

I am currently running a small distribution business for tourist souvenirs and gift items. Being in the distribution business, I also have access to an extensive range of other products.

Your offer sounds interesting. In fact, it might even be better for me than employing someone i.e. less worry about finding employees, motivating them, etc.

May I know where the cart will be?

Cheers,
Justin

Hi Ken, i used to do online sales of my handmade accessories, but no time to maintain my website now cos working fulltime. currently still have quite a fair bit of stock on hand.

may i know if u have got ur pushcart already? location? i may consider sharing pushcart, but would require u to help me push the accessories.

alternative is i can put the accessories with u on "consignment-like" basis, pay me when things are sold.

pls pm me if int, thanks :)
