Having your own business is the dream of many people. No matter how small the business, if you are the boss, there is an extraordinary satisfaction that is somewhat difficult to explain. Among the many business ideas, there is one that is worth trying, namely the grocery store business.

Many people feel that opening a grocery store is not cool enough. But actually, this grocery business has saved our community's economy a lot. Not a few also taste success from the grocery business. A real example is Mr. Anas, a grocery shop owner in Jakarta who succeeded in building his business from scratch.

In fact, thanks to his tenacity, Anas, who is also Qasir's partner, managed to win the #TravelDandaninWarung Competition held by Qasir. In order to win this competition, Anas was willing to spend money buying paint and changing the walls of his shop to red. He also made the Mitra Qasir logo very neatly. His great effort also rewarded him with a 32 inch Samsung SmartTV. Congratulations, sir.

Well...back to talking about the grocery business, maybe some of you will be wondering, how promising is the grocery business actually? To get a real picture, let's take a look at the story of Mr. Anas and his grocery shop!

1. Willing to stop working to have his own business

Before opening a grocery store, Anas was a private employee at an electronics company. However, this father of two children decided to leave his workplace to open his own business, namely a grocery store, in 1998. According to him, a grocery store is a practical and cheap business so he doesn't need a lot of capital.

2. Very few items in stock

When he first started his business, Anas didn't have much capital, so with what money he had, he spent on the shop's needs. However, with this little capital, it turns out that Anas has a very neat strategy. He spends on various items in small but complete quantities. For example, he buys one box of instant noodles each or buys various brands of coffee in small quantities.

3. Qasir helps him manage the stall management well

Who says grocery stores don't have business management? Management in a business is very necessary for the progress of the business. Just like Anas, who also manages the entry and exit of goods, bookkeeping, and monthly turnover. Anas also understands that he is unable to take care of his own business management. Therefore, Anas uses Qasir, a digital application that can help traders record sales, manage products, monitor stock and monitor transaction reports. Without using complicated bookkeeping, Anas can manage his own shop like a professional.

4. Being friendly to buyers is the main key to doing grocery business

Anas understands that his business is nothing without repeated buying and selling transactions. The importance of buyers in the development of his business made Anas realize that providing the best for buyers is the most important thing. For this reason, Anas is always friendly and polite to anyone who comes to his shop. Without distinguishing between buyers and how much they shop, for Anas, buyers are the source of his sustenance.

5. Try to be familiar with technology

When Anas realized that this was the digital era, Anas did not remain silent. He then developed his business with the help of digital technology. One of them is by joining as a Qasir Partner. Now, Mr. Anas no longer needs to be in the heat to just shop for stall stock, just open the application. If you want to sell credit, you can also do it from the application. He has even considered joining the Temporary Payment facility at Qasir to develop his shop.

After reading Anas' story, you will know that even a grocery store business can become big. Moreover, there is a Qasir application that helps grocery businesses from management, wholesale shopping, to funding. If you already have the desire to open a shop, don't hesitate any longer. As long as you are willing to try, sustenance will definitely come by itself.
