Current Condition |
While advancing the business, both restaurants are still striving to reach breakeven. Currently, only half of the operating costs are covered by total revenue, with Neyam covering the remaining expenses for both establishments. It is important to note that during the pandemic from 2019 to 2021, the restaurant in Kanakarayankulam was either closed or had very few guests. However, certain costs were incurred during this period, including staff expenses and other operational overheads. |
