Relaxed Session with....OSHIMA Restaurant

ASSALAMMUALAIKUM.... 

¡hola!!!my dear friends..we meet again..for this post i want to share about OSHIMA Restaurant. Why OSHIMA?? When we say OSHIMA directly we will be remembered of Japan right??because the word is take from the place that call OSHIMA in Japan. You all must be wondered why i want to share about this restaurant. OK to make it clear OSHIMA Restaurant a such restaurant in Malaysia that serve Japanese HALAL food. We know that in Malaysia have many restaurant that serve Japanese food but the HALAL status we don't know and of course we will feel doubtful to eat the food although we craving to eat that. 

OSHIMA Restaurant itself having some obstacle to maintain their business in serve Japanese food and to compete with other Japan restaurant in Malaysia. Some of their obstacle is hard to get a certificate of HALAL. Of course we as a Muslim are really concern about the HALAL status if we want to market our business because majority Malaysia people are Muslim. According to the founder of OSHIMA, it really hard to get the certificate because the high cost. We imagine that a small business need to pay more money just to have HALAL certificate it don't easy right??because this certificate must get from Japan and take long period to make it approve.Other obstacle is human resource problem that a common problem that all company or other business will face it because we don't know much about people especially if we on the top management. If we doesn't have strategy on how to mix among the employee we will face a problem because the care of our employee was our responsible.

In the business they will have up and down like a spinning wheel, why i said that because according to the founder they face some failure in running their business OSHIMA Restaurant.The most important failure is..the founder itself doesn't have knowledge about business at all because from engineering field she switch the interest to involve in business by open the restaurant. It quit impressive and be inspiring me because i’m also have intent to open my own business. The other failure is doesn't have budget for promotion or training, no sense of customer satisfaction also does;t have niche in the product or services.

To be success we must have strategy, that are the founder do to overcome the failure and maintain their business although she had to close some of their branch and start with the base back. What the founder do is she try to understand the need of people, increase their brand awareness, try to use social media like Facebook, website or blog to advertise our business in other word we said be genuine. The most important is passion in the business if we doesn't have that feel it will become our nightmare because we will always face to failure. 

 

What make me impress with the founder of OSHIMA restaurant is one of their strategy is “always ikhlas for ALLAH” means don’t always ask for money or reward on whatever work we do. If we do the right work with pure heart INSYAALLAH we will get the benefit.Also always “BE POSITIVE OF ALL TIME” means don't easily give up if having problem or other risk in our business. 

 

I think lot of my celoteh in this post hope u all can get a little bit tips or be inspiring to open own business as well as don't ever ever easily give up. Till meet again..
