we couple of friens decided to start momo business ..ie cook momo deliver anywhere in houston at cheap cheap rate ..because we are tired of working in gas stn.

we need you suggestion .
what is right ..
how is should be done ..price ..??
any suggestions appreciated.

pvabhalamja  Thanks for liking my Idea. Now regarding Gyoza and dumplings....Thats how Americans and other Asians Know about Mo Mo.  When you approach other Businesses who are not Nepalese...they dont know Mo Mo.............anyway momo is gyoza or dumplings .....we just call it mo mo and is much tastier than chinese dumplings or thai Gyozas. I love the taste of our Momo and achaar........I would suggest to have the package name as

                           TASTY  MOMO

        Nepalese Dumpling...............or  Nepalese Gyozas.

I would like to appreciate all of you guys for your valuable suggestion.I have more then 600 viewers so i can assume at least 50 people are from houston and at least 30 people like MOMO. So, i am now trying to do the marketing before starting the business ie..making few customer so there wont be downfall on the business as soon as it get started .

so guys what will be the best idea to gather all that nepali community living in houston area and let them know that we are starting this ...

at last i appreciate Maddogg, chipledhunga,pvabha... and all others who
viewed this and are thinking of buying hot momo from us ...

ok nice idea. i'm up for it. cause i love momo and tongba.
if i come to usa, then i will come and eat at your place.

only one question to ask.....

what can of meat would you be making with?
 
I don't eat beef .
But i take chicken, pork, duck, veggie, fish.


thanks
SKH

houstonguys...good idea ...go to http://www.houstonnepalese.org/ and contact some officers and tell them that you have come up with this idea and hopefully they will do something for you ...making awareness of your service to houston nepali community..thankx

 

Houstonguys,

Congratulations in establishing the first ever Asian food franchise in USA. I am sure that your "Lone Star Momo" will beat current leaders like McDonald's, TacoBell and Subway.

With the genuine suggestions from MadDog, you guys really did a great job. I am enticed by your customer satisfaction rating of 9.8/ 10. You have changed the thinking of Americans that only pizza can be delivered.

The wide variety, including veg, chicken, buff, beef, pork and goat has made your chain favorite to all religions and all cultures. I specially like your value meal ( 2 dallos of momo) for a dollar.

The only thing I would suggest at this point is you need a slogan/promotions like "EAT MORE MOMO" or "Think Inside the Ball" or "Five Dollar Full Pet", which will increase the value of your brand.

Guys, I am proud of you and Thank you for reading my note.

Organization consists of couple of dickheads...They r of no help..

There are not lots of Nepali in Westheimer,Galleria Area..Why don't you focus ur business in southeast Houston, Clear lake,El camino,Fuqua, lots of Nepali students out there..

are u hiring anybody right now? I can be a momo delivary boy. sathi ho tips chai ali daru dinu hai..

How about opening one  "Small Scale Nepali Restaurant"  wher u can sell  "Lone Star Momo" as well as some other nepali food. But the price should be little lower than those of Indian restaurants. 

 

my mom always told me, NEVER open a restaurant or a clothes shop. you'll lose your money. so i'd say no way bai, dont do it. sita used to always joke she'd start a sexy dressed waitress dhal-bhat restaurant in dallas, yeah rite.

I luv this idea of startin a Momo bussiness ...... y dun u share this page in facebook or so. It might help u lil more. Wishin u all the best.... waitin for u in my door :)

Still did not like the idea of using the names like dumpling and gyoza. If we use momo, it will be different and also it will be the taste of Nepal but if u use other name which are already established, it means u are copying others. By using name MOMO, u are also advertising your Country!!! which is good for everyone. To be honest, Dumpling is not famous here in UK.
Also, if you are opening resturant, do buffet system once or twice a week. That makes lot of money.

I appreciate all of you guys...nice comments and suggestion!!!
So here is the deal ....
We are starting 4 kinds of Momo only for right now ....
1. Chilli chicken momo
2. Chicken momo
3. Veg momo
4. Pork momo

Do u guys want beef momo too ???
I don't think so !!!

We are having some conflicts about the price so we need accurate suggestions from you guys ... You all are customers ...we don't want to compormise on quality .. It will be healthy and cooked right .. I promise!!


Each plate contains 12 extra large piece of momo so u won't need any burger , sandwitch or dal bhat.....
Each plate will have 2 kinds of achar ... One hot other mild so . Give me idea what achar is best for momo....
We will deliver soft drinks on request..

Our delivery time or opening time basically starts at sharp 1pm-12pm everyday .... If you guys need other time just let me know....

Houstonguys... I would like to order...How would I contact you??

I will give you several phone no .. Who will serve you ...

I will give you several phone no .. Who will
serve you ...
But right now my concern is on advertising ..
How can I advertise and let all people know
If you have any idea pls let me know!!!!

Way to go Son.Dont expect overnight publicity..Like the guys said,try houstonnepalese as yo channel first.find out any nepali events around there and attend each of those with your business card or advertising pamphlets....I donn know how practical and feasible it sounds but i did this for one indian guy to expand his business.make business card and deliver it to the every mail box of potential customers.here potential customres means nepali folks,south asian folks.I would highly recommend ya to add some more stuffs on your menu...be pratical bro and good luck!!

NICE IDEA

Houstonguys, the four types of momos you proposed sound good. What kind of achaars are you considering?

As for advertising, let's not forget about Sajha. There are certainly more silent readers than active posters. Contact San to place an ad. Also NAH is another place to approach. The executive committee is meeting this Saturday and the Nepali New Year party is barely a month away. That party should be an excellent opportunity for publicity. Distribute flyers with coupons. Also consider reaching out to the non-Nepali community. You may be able to deliver to a limited area but consider providing pickup option as well.
