    12/13/2025

    From Failure to Foodpreneur: How to Succeed in F&B - Cari Makan Podcast (English)

    In this episode,with Aleex from Foodicious Sdn Bhd, we cover the harsh reality of starting a business in the Food and Beverage industry. Alex shares his personal failure story of opening a chicken rice shop 20 years ago, explaining that he made a lot of mistakes because he was not in the industry and didn't have the necessary knowledge. He emphasizes that working hard alone does not guarantee success; you have to "work hard on the right things". The biggest challenges for F&B startups include overspending on renovation without planning for survival, not selecting the right location, and facing difficulties in hiring and retaining talent. The lack of knowledge about licensing, grants, and operational management leads to high failure rates. This experience motivated Alex to set up the Foodpreneur Expo and Global Summit to help entrepreneurs gain the necessary ideas and knowledge to sustain their businesses longer. The event will cover topics like passion, innovation, and knowledge. The Foodpreneur Expo will be held in Setia Spice Convention Center, Penang, from 16th to 18th December.
