Hello Phuong,

Have you started your business yet? I was wondering how things were going and if you include a decent bowl of Pho on the menu.

Cảm ơn :)

Hello Phuong and welcome to the northern tropical country! :D

About your business idea, I really like it! Having the consession food restaurant truck is surely new thing in Finland and to start something new thing, you always face tons of problem. But nothing is impossible, no matter what... if it's your dream and you want to fulfill it you will find your ways (tweaking, adapting or slighty changing the biz idea).

The guys in here have pointed out some problems you will be facing and I think you will be facing even more problems but don't let that kill your enthusiastic. We are just try to help you by pointing out the problems of your biz idea, so that you can have a better view/idea what are you about to face. When you know the problems you can work around them and eliminate them. My advice to you is do your research and prepare yourself well!!!

Btw, don't forget that you have an excellent source of infomation - your wife's brother who owns the bar.

I see from your recent University 2010 post that you're still thinking about opening the cafe/eatery.

I hope this works out for you, you're able to work through all the bureacratic maze and everything. Finland needs more energetic and determined small entrepreneurs like you.

The police in Espoo (as we told him they *love* foreigners) are just there friendily telling him to PHO off... :wink:
