Backed by a trusted name like Alis Fried Chicken, you can tap into a proven brand with high customer appeal. This guide covers everything you need to start your Ayam Gunting business in Malaysia, including costs, licensing and menu tips to launch with confidence.
Step 1: Estimate Your Start-Up Costs
Before starting your Ayam Gunting business, it’s essential to know how much you need to invest. Your startup costs will vary depending on your business model, location, and the scale of your operations. Here’s a breakdown of the key cost areas:
A. Kiosk or Food Truck Setup
If you’re operating from a pasar malam stall or a roadside kiosk, monthly rental typically ranges from under RM100 to several hundred, depending on the location, crowd size, and demand. This usually includes the space only, so you will need to prepare your own equipment and setup.
Alternatively, if you choose to run a food truck, expect to invest between RM30,000 and RM50,000 or more, depending on whether you choose a used or new model. While this option requires a higher upfront cost, it offers flexibility and mobility to attend events or operate in different locations.
Other basic setup items include:
- Canopy or tent for shelter (RM200 – RM500)
- Foldable tables and chairs (RM100 – RM300)
- Banners and lighting (RM100 – RM300)
These items help create a professional and attractive stall that draws customer attention.
B. Equipments
To run a successful Ayam Gunting business in Malaysia, having the right equipment is key to ensuring smooth operations and consistent food quality. Essential tools include a deep fryer, sharp scissors for cutting fried chicken, tongs, strainers, stainless steel trays, food-safe storage containers, and more. These items help maintain hygiene, improve workflow, and ensure the crispy, well-seasoned Ayam Gunting that customers expect.
To save time and avoid the hassle of sourcing equipment individually, many new entrepreneurs choose an Alis Fried Chicken all-in-one kiosk package. These packages include all the essential tools and materials needed to start operating immediately.

C. Raw Materials, Daily Expenses and Estimated Earnings
Daily operating costs will largely depend on your sales volume and the variety of items on your menu. These expenses typically cover essential raw materials and cooking ingredients, packaging materials, and utilities such as gas and cooking oil. Alis Fried Chicken provides high-quality, ready-to-fry raw materials to help you run your business efficiently.
For a small to medium-sized stall, daily expenses usually range from RM100 to RM200. This includes raw materials such as Ayam Gunting, Ayam Keping, and Sotong Raja, as well as other disposable items like cooking oil, paper bags, disposable gloves, and more. By following the standard operating procedures provided by Alis Fried Chicken, including serving methods and product preparation techniques, you can manage costs more effectively while maintaining consistent quality and taste with every order.
To give you an idea of the earning potential, let’s look at a typical business scenario. At a moderately busy location with around 20–25 customers a day, operating through the Alis Fried Chicken Kiosk Package (priced at RM4,199), your estimated daily costs would be about RM150. This translates to an average daily revenue of roughly RM300. Running the stall just four days a week could bring in around RM600 net profit weekly, or about RM2,400 per month — meaning you could potentially recover your initial investment in as little as two months.
And this is only a conservative example that’s highly achievable. With greater effort — operating five to six days a week — you can accelerate your returns, reach your goals faster, and move closer to financial independence. With the right mix of consistency, good location choices, and smart management, Alis Fried Chicken business package offers the potential for stable, sustainable, and rewarding income.
Step 2: Get the Required Licenses and Permits
To run your Ayam Gunting business legally in Malaysia, you need to obtain several essential licenses and approvals. These ensure your stall complies with local business regulations and also build trust with customers.
A. Local Council Permit
Before starting your Ayam Gunting business, it is important to apply for a business license from the municipal council (PBT) in the area where you plan to operate. You can either walk in to the licensing department for guidance or give them a call to enquire, as the process is not always the same across different councils.
Each council has its own requirements and procedures even within the same state. For example, in Selangor your stall maybe under the Sepang Municipal Council or the Subang Jaya City Council, and each has its own requirements. Permit fees vary depending on the type of business activity and the current charges set by the council. To be safe, always check the official website of the municipal council where you intend to operate.
B. SSM Business Registration
To operate as a legal business, you must register your business with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM). For small food stall owners, the most common option is registering as:
- Sole Proprietorship (using your personal name) – RM30 per year (as at 2025)
- Sole Proprietorship (using a trade name) – RM60 per year (as at 2025)
You can complete this registration online and easily via the SSM EzBiz portal or at any SSM office nationwide.
Step 3: Business Preparation and Daily Setup
To run a smooth and efficient Ayam Gunting business, proper preparation before opening is essential. This includes setting up your stall, preparing raw materials in advance, estimating the quantity needed for the day, and getting equipment such as fryers and packaging ready. By planning ahead and managing your time wisely, you can ensure a steady workflow and reduce stress during peak hours.
Here are tips on how to prepare Ayam Gunting, Ayam Keping, and Sotong Raja, along with a rough estimate of how much time to set aside before opening your stall.
Ayam Gunting
- Defrost the Ayam Gunting thoroughly at room temperature, at least 8 hours before starting business operations.
- Coat the Ayam Gunting with Alis Premium Fried Chicken Powder for a golden, crispy outer layer.
- Preheat the cooking oil in a deep fryer to 180°C and ensure the Ayam Gunting is fully submerged during frying.
- Fry evenly for about 5 minutes, turning pieces occasionally to get an evenly crisp exterior.
- Sprinkle Alis Premium Seasoning Powder while hot. Cut into bite-sized pieces and serve fresh.
Ayam Keping
- Defrost completely at room temperature, at least 4 hours before starting business operations.
- Coat the Ayam Keping with Alis Premium Fried Chicken Powder for a crunchy texture.
- Preheat the deep fryer oil to 180°C and ensure there is enough oil to fully submerge the Ayam Keping.
- Fry the Ayam Keping for about 3 minutes until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
- Season, cut, and serve immediately for the best taste.
Sotong Raja
- Lightly thaw at room temperature (no full defrosting required) and keep chilled with ice until ready to fry.
- Coat the Sotong Raja in wet batter first, then cover with Alis Premium Fried Chicken Powder to ensure it sticks evenly.
- Heat oil in the deep fryer to 200°C, ensuring there is enough to submerge the Sotong Raja.
- Fry for about 3 minutes, turning pieces occasionally for even cooking.
- Sprinkle seasoning while hot. Cut and serve immediately.
- Start your preparation early enough to avoid last-minute rushes.
- Avoid rinsing or soaking in water, as this can affect texture and taste while causing the food to spoil or become stale.
- Portion your ingredients in advance based on expected demand.
- Keep your cooking area clean and organised for faster service.

Step 4: Scale and Grow Your Ayam Gunting Business
Once your stall is stable, it’s time to grow. Expanding your Ayam Gunting business helps you reach more customers and boost profits.
Open in New Locations
Consider adding stalls at other high-traffic areas like night markets, school zones, or office areas.
Join Delivery Platforms
If your location allows, register with GrabFood or Foodpanda to earn from takeaway orders and reach a wider audience.
Hire Extra Help
If you’re struggling to keep up with demand, bring in a helper to manage preparation or take orders. This improves service speed and customer experience.
