It might
seem funny, but if you want to start a business in
Costa Rica
you must find a way to
provide delivery "EXPRESS" service. That's right! If you start a
restaurant (fast food or gourmet), a drugstore or an office supply or a movie
rental store, your business will most likely succeed if you have "express service".
Why is
this? Even though
Costa Rica
is a
very small country and there are plenty of restaurant and store chains all over
the country that provide very good service, people hate to leave home to go
shopping.
Imagine it
is Saturday evening and the whole family is watching "Dancing for a Dream" and
it is drizzling outside. Mom doesn't
want to cook and everyone is hungry. What is the logic solution: call express and relax.
You would
see children jumping of happiness if they hear the honk of a motorcycle around
noon in front of their house. That means
that pizza, fried chicken or hamburgers have arrived.
The
delivery is always full service. The
meal will come together with the drinks and forks, napkins, ketchup and
mayonnaise, parmesan cheese and dried hot chili pepper in tiny bags!
It is also
very convenient. A mother might be home
alone with her two little children and need medicine for one of them. The drugstore that gives the express service
will definitely get the sale.
You can
even rent movies and have them delivered to your door and they will even go and
pick them up!
This is the
way Costa Rican people solve their problem of transportation. Not everybody have a car and sometimes people
live up in the hill and far away from the bus stop.
Restaurants
like KFC and Taco Bell loose a lot of business on Soccer Sundays because they
do not deliver.
If you move
to
Costa Rica
,
you will enjoy this service also, and then you may decide if you prefer to go an pick up your purchase at the store or if you prefer to
lay back while you wait for your goods to be delivered home by a "moto."
