Liputan6.com, Jakarta – Accidents can sometimes give different stories in various ways, including the Sate Dabu Dabu culinary business that Vincent Yusti is involved in. He got the satay recipe from generation to generation from his grandmother.
“This wasn’t on purpose, the satay is a traditional family recipe. Initially we didn’t intend to sell it, we made it and many people said it was delicious and wanted to order it. We combined it with dabu-dabu,” said Vincent Yusti to Liputan6.com in the Gandaria area, Jakarta, recently.
Who would have thought that the business Yusti was running was slowly growing. One of his colleagues always provides input and criticism. This also makes him even more motivated.
“I was motivated by him giving criticism. I am not inferior but I continue to improve. Since then I have been more focused on Indonesian Food,” he added.
Yusti started the Sate Dabu Dabu business around 2016 and only ran it at home. After gathering confidence, Yusti only dared to venture into culinary festivals.
“When I had the confidence to enter the bazaar, the good enthusiasm was sold out and I continued to try Go-Food and it was also busy, finally I dared to open a stall and take part in culinary festivals,” said Yusti.
Not only Sate Dabu Dabu, there are also other menu choices that Yusti offers to customers. For example, Balinese spiced satay, Taichan satay, and a unique menu, namely tortillas filled with satay.
Talking about price, Yusti admitted that there were differences in the sales method. Not without reason, but there are several things you need to consider, such as costs when attending a festival.
“If you buy it yourself directly, we sell it for IDR 28 thousand, if Go-Food has to cut 20 percent we increase it to IDR 33 thousand, if at a festival it’s IDR 35 thousand because there are costs transport that’s 10 skewers,” he added.
