Restaurant Revenue: Many people dream of starting their own business, but the challenges behind it are often not visible. These days, a video of a dosa restaurant owner from Thane is going viral on social media, in which he has presented the real picture of the food business in front of the people.

While talking to content creator Utkarsh Verma, the owner of Benne Rush restaurant told that in the initial phase the monthly revenue of his shop had reached Rs 12 to 13 lakh.

However, with time the number of customers decreased and now after all the expenses they are left with only about Rs 1 lakh per month. This video has also been shared on X by an account named @2Varalakshmi.

Dosa trader reached ₹1 lakh from earning of ₹13 lakh

During the conversation, the restaurant owner told that every month about Rs 1 lakh is spent on the rent of the shop and Rs 1.5 lakh is spent on the salaries of the employees. Apart from this, if electricity bill, raw material and other operating expenses are added, the total monthly expenditure reaches to around Rs 4 lakh.

He says that business is affected due to less number of customers in summer, whereas sales increase again in winter. Despite this he said that he prefers running his own business rather than working.

When he was asked for advice for those thinking of leaving their job and starting a business, he said, ‘If you have a dream of doing something of your own, then definitely try. There may be failure in the beginning, but those who make continuous efforts definitely get success one day.”

Discussion broke out regarding the difference between revenue and profit

After the video went viral, a discussion broke out on social media about the difference between revenue and profit. Many users said that it is important to understand the difference between monthly revenue of Rs 12 lakh and profit of Rs 1 lakh. One user wrote, “He is not only earning, but is also providing employment to many people.”

Another said that even if Rs 1 lakh is the net profit, it is still a good achievement for a small business. At the same time, some people also raised questions on the expenditure and profit figures. However, the revenue and profit claims made in the viral video have not been independently verified.
