"Daddy's Kitchen" raised from the basket

However, the implementation of the plan had to be stopped due to financial reasons. The financial condition of the family was moderate. Therefore, it was not possible to invest large capital.

However, 32-year-old Kamaljung Kunwar of Sandhikhark-8 in Arghakhanchi was not in favor of putting a break on his dream. Two brothers went to work abroad. Kamaljung, who spent his childhood in normal conditions, thought that he should stand on his own feet. That too within the country. So he grew up thinking that something should be done in the country. Kamal, the youngest of six children of Khagisra and Gumansingh Kunwar, is now well-known in hospitality. His fame is not limited to looks.

He completed his studies up to the secondary level in the village. Then he moved to Butwal in Rupandehi in 2064 for higher education studies. After completing the school level, it is a tradition to migrate to Butwal, a nearby city for study and employment. Kamaljung excelled in reading, speaking and extracurricular activities. Came to Butwal. Didi's house in Deepnagar, Butwal. The elder brother ran a furniture shop in Devinagar. After coming here, he stayed with his brother for some time and started helping him in the furniture business. After his brother went abroad for work, he stayed at his sister's house, studied campus in the morning and started running a spice and oil mill throughout the day. "It was my brother's mill," he said, "I learned all the work there, and also got the opportunity to go to the market and learn how to deal, buy materials, etc."

While studying at Lumbini Commerce Campus, he was wise in front of his friends. Good students in the eyes of teachers. After passing Plus Two, he joined Axis College in Butwal to study BBA. While studying the second semester, the ghost to Kathmandu rode. "I went because I had to do everything with my earnings," he said. I came to know about Star Hotel, Luxurious Life.' After not being able to stay there for a long time, Kamal came back to Butwal. Completed graduate studies.

One day I saw chowmein and masham being sold in a market near my sister's house. They started to imagine that the business would be classed and preferred by the customers while selling it in shutters. "After that, I found a shutter in the square in the market, I called a friend to make it," he said, "I asked a safe to help me in the morning and evening." I asked my brother for some money and opened a hotel for 180,000 and named it Dad's Kitchen.

He said that after starting his commercial journey, he came up with the idea of ​​earning money from this. The business opened on Dasaint 2012 and ran well for 3 months. Kunwar gradually increased the rate. As a result, the business decreased and went into losses. People stopped coming to him. I thought that after becoming a businessman, you should not leave the business disappointed. Then he started selling coffee and lassi in a cart in front of the shutter. He said that he could not get it. A year after starting the business, one day while walking on the road, Kunwar saw a four-wheeled cart parked. He decided to decorate it and sell lunch.

Thela was bought for 25,000 and made to be cooked inside. He used to stall at the highway intersection in Butwal. He said, "When people I know came, I felt ashamed. "Relatives, educated sirs would never come to the shop, instead they would look for a job, leave the cart." He also felt that he had chosen the wrong job because of people's behavior. At that time, he made a slightly different type of lunch to increase the number of people, and found a way to make the burger with a different taste.

"They made a burger recipe together with SAFE many times and spoiled it," he said, "Finally, the burger became sweet, and 300 pieces of burgers were sold daily. The slowly flourishing business made Kunwar want to expand its scope. Then he designed a food truck himself. The truck was made and placed in the Butwal Traffic Chowk. Roadside housewives, policemen etc. started giving a lot of trouble. But without giving up, he took administrative permission and continued to run the business.

After doing well in Traffic Chowk, he continued to expand his business. Now, his business is not limited to design. Dad's Kitchen has reached some places in Butwal and Pokhara as well as Kathmandu. He said that 18 food and snack outlets have been operational so far. There are 3 sister ventures. Among which, cooker coffee is famous in Kathmandu. Along with burgers, other fast food and sorma are available in Butwal, while Papaya is running as the healthy diet planner of Butwal. Dad's Kitchen is operating in its own building in Pokhara, which can accommodate 300 people.

Pokhara's establishment is a model fast food center in Nepal with the capacity to accommodate many people. "We want to open 100 such food houses across the country," he said. Sister Sarita is helping in all businesses around Butwal.

Kamal is not limited to this. Yoga, meditation as well as motivating others is a pleasure to listen to. Anyone who spends an hour with him and guffaws is ready to embrace Kamal's slogan 'We bring transformation in the country, let's respect youth entrepreneurship'. He has also taught this slogan to his employees. He currently has 660 employees working with him. Kamal says that he has set a goal of paying more than 25,000 to every employee. "I want to reach that goal by 2082," he said.

He only pays rent of 20 lakh rupees per month. They spend more than 35 lakh rupees a year on employee salaries. But he said that not being able to maintain manpower is the pain of every businessman like him. "After learning work, they are going abroad," he said, "If they can sustain here by paying an attractive salary, they think that the thinking and ability of the youth can be developed."

Along with Nepalese, Indian and foreign tourists also come to his lunch house. "I am also selling the same foreign dishes," he said. It is necessary to make an effort, I am doing it. If the private sector can be promoted, it will be good for the state as well, he said. "It is enough for me to say that we are in trouble," he said, "I do the work myself, I live and save many young people."
