High school baseball player opens burger shop after graduation

2024-04-21

Lots of young people want to start a business, and 22-year-old Chan Chun-hsiang did just that. An athlete who played baseball up until graduation, Chan decided to become an entrepreneur after high school, first working in a food truck. Once he learned business basics, he set up a small burger stand outside his home in Banqiao. Now he has taken his business a step further by opening his own burger shop in east Taipei.

Chan Chun-hsiang uses both hands to beat the air out of freshly ground beef, then puts it on the griddle and fries it until the outer layer is slightly charred.

First comes lettuce, then the patty, bacon and onions, topped with a mild BBQ sauce that completes this American style burger. Toasted sugar and rich peanut butter add even more flavor that will make your mouth water.

We prepare all the ingredients ourselves, right down to grinding the beef. I’ve even tried many different kinds of sauces over time.

Chan may be just 22 years old, but he already has his own burger shop in east Taipei. Although he played baseball since he was young, he went into business because he felt uncertain about his future after graduating from high school.

Chan Chun-hsiang
Entrepreneur
I didn’t go to university, so after graduating high school I felt kind of lost. I just wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. Ever since I was young it was just sports, sports, sports. But the food industry is not that hard to get into, anyone can do it.

A friend introduced him to a food truck owner who taught him how to make burgers, purchase goods and keep basic accounts. Then he started his own small business, setting up a griddle outside his home in Banqiao.

Entrepreneur
At that time, we actually wanted to start a food truck, but didn’t have enough funds. So, I resorted to setting up a small food stand. After opening the restaurant in east Taipei, our sales shot up. Usually, our daily turnover will be over NT$10,000.

At the small stand in Banqiao, the daily turnover was around NT$3,000 at most. But after gathering a year of experience and moving to Taipei, revenue increased and customers became steadier. At such a young age, he is already a successful entrepreneur building his dreams.

2024-04-21

許多年輕人都想創業!來看看這個有計畫創業的故事,今年22歲的詹俊祥從小是名運動員,到高中畢業前都在打棒球,畢業後想創業、他先在漢堡餐車打工,學會基本功之後,在板橋自家樓下擺攤做生意,現在更進一步插旗台北東區開店,成為美式漢堡店的老闆。

新鮮牛絞肉,雙手拍打出肉團內的空氣,放到鐵板上壓扁,煎到外層微焦。

鋪上生菜,放上肉排、培根和洋蔥,擠上微辣BBQ醬汁,一個美式漢堡就完成了。另一個不同口味則是撒上大量的糖火烤,焦糖香配上濃郁花生醬,讓人口水直流。

“裡面的調味,一直到絞肉,都是我們自己親自去操作,所以其實我醬料這部分,來來回回,其實也試了蠻多種”

詹俊祥今年才22歲,已經在東區擁有自己的漢堡店。但當初會創業,其實是因為從小打棒球,高中畢業後,對於未來出路感到茫然。

“我沒有念大學,所以那時候,其實剛出社會的時候,其實一直在有點迷茫吧,就是不知道,自己到底想要做什麼,因為以前都只有,打球、打球、打球,因為餐飲業就是最低門檻,大家都可以做”

在朋友介紹下,他跟一位餐車老闆學怎麼做漢堡和如何進貨、成本計算等,後來自己出來開,在板橋自家樓下,擺個煎台就做起生意。

“那時候也是預設,是想要做餐車,其實我們那時候資金沒有那麼足夠,所以我才會,先以這種小攤販的方式。來到東區這邊之後,營業額明顯的提高了,一天營業額,至少可能會有個上萬”

當初在板橋擺攤,一天營業額最多3000元,詹俊祥用快一年時間累積經驗,插旗東區後,營收增加了,客源也更穩定,年紀輕輕成了少年頭家,築夢踏實。
