Interview Session

Q : What are the reasons that made you decided to open up kebab business in Tangerang, Sir ?

 

A : Since I was a child, I always been passionate to open up my own business just like my father. He owns a big and success business in Tegal, if you know Sate Tegal Sutejo, that’s my family business for a long long time since my late great grandfather. At first, I don’t know what business I wanted to open. Then, I did my research about food business since high school that suited for the local taste but also has some millennials taste. To approve my research, I decided to go to Tangerang. I have my feelings that Tangerang would be my destination to open up my business. 3 months after graduated from high school, on 2013 I decided to go to Tangerang by myself and started up my life there until I got married and have two kids. I thought it is God’s work and His blessing for me, and my parents too. After 1 year preparation and research, on 2015 I decided to open up kebab business. It seemed at that time I thought couldn’t made my small business. There are so many kebab business in Tangerang, but that was the reasons to challenge myself. By the will of God, I could open up my business in Tangerang.

 

Q : Are there any obstacles during the process until now to open up kebab business in Tangerang, Sir ?

A : To be honest, there are lots of obstacles during the process to open up my kebab business here. My guts told me to stop and just spend my new life here in Tangerang and did nothing. Then, I’ve got some bad neighborhood that bad mouthed on me and my family because I’m an outsider from Tegal. I’ve got several things like anxiety that almost made me to not open up my business. Nevertheless, my wife and my family in Tegal always has conquered me. 

 

Q : Are there any particular events that happens while running up kebab business in Tangerang, Sir ?

A : Yes, actually there is one particular events that happens to be one of the reasons that my business runs smoothly until now. God blessed me with Saipul Jamil came up to order lots of kebab, 500 to be exact, then promoted it for free in his social media. It was a blessing for me. 

 

Q : Are there any tips for everyone that wants to open up a food business like you, Sir ?

A : For my fellow fighters inside food business, I hope good things always brought you to the path for successful business. The path maybe didn’t always run smoothly like you always wanted, but every God’s plan is always good. Embrace your people around you to be your support system. Always believe in your guts.

 

Q : What are your hopes for your business in the future, Sir ?

A : I hope for the good things for my business. I hope that I could expand my kebab business all around the Jabodetabek city soon. I hope that I could get my own workers. I just hope for the best and always to keep on growing to make good and tasty food.
