Let say In order to break even
If I sell my cheekon rice at $5.50.
Cost of production cheekon rice per plates $4.59
Fix cost :
Labour: $650
Stall rental : $1200
Utility: $300
Dish washing : $400
If above 310 plates then is considered profit or making money. Tio boh

Your fixed cost around $2550. Profit per plate is $0.9. I think u need to sell around 2800 plates before can see profit?

Not sure if 310 plates is correct but that is a very low number based on what I was told by the hawkers. Too easy to accomplish breakeven. Very unlike reality. Most hawkers I talked to sell 100-200 plates A DAY (not necessarily chicken rice). Some way more. Of course, quite a lot hawkers with no biz sells a lot less.
Maybe your fix costs assumption is too low? I don't think labour is only $650. Part-timer?
BTW, profit is usually higher than what you have assumed per plate.

If profit per plate is $1.5, $2550/1.5=1700. U need to sell 1700 plates to cover the fixed costs first before any profit.

Assuming a plate of CKT. The selling price is $4. If you DIY with the same ingredients, what's the cost? Probably lower than $1. The costs are mainly the rent and labour besides ingredients. That's why I say the cost of ingredients relative to selling price tend to be very low, the 'profit' (without taking labour, rent, utilities etc into consideration) is not just 20% or 30% per plate like you assumed earlier. Way much higher.
