Aroma Catering

Summary

Grace, known for her culinary skills, launches 'Aroma Catering' in early August, funded by a personal bank transfer of 8 million Rupiah. She utilizes existing kitchen equipment valued at 60 million Rupiah, estimated to last five years. After advertising in 'Dapurku' magazine, she secures her first order for a wedding, followed by a family dinner and a corporate lunch order. Despite initial slow business, she experiences a steady flow of orders, culminating in a successful month. By the end of September, she faces a surprise: her cooking supplies deplete faster than expected, partly due to using some for her child's birthday celebration.
