After the storm, calmer waters now
Rasel Catering started with just four people, and made a failed foray into operating restaurants in 2003. Today, it racks up a turnover in the millions.
RASEL Catering generates millions in turnover these days, but it has had its share of bad bets and low periods. In 2003, the homegrown caterer tried its hand at operating restaurants and opened two outlets.
The co-owners, Alan Tan and Chris Loh, found out soon after that running restaurants was "a different ball game" from catering.
That period coincided with the Sars outbreak, which added to their difficulties; the two restaurants were shuttered a year later.
