JC's Pancakes opened its first outlet in Citta Mall but went bankrupt due to low foot traffic and a lack of customers. It then relocated to Taylor's University. As a new company selling a new product, pancakes, it faced challenges gaining brand recognition and competition from other pancake sellers. Its pancakes were also seen more as a snack than a meal. Yummy Yummy Duck, which started in 1980 selling and exporting ducks, faced challenges from the small duck market but remained passionate. It focused on selling at local markets and providing simple homecooked dishes to keep customers. Both businesses aimed to franchise or pass their businesses to the next generation while maintaining quality food and service.
