Letโ€™s take a look at a ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—ด ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐—ฟ in the food industry.
๐— ๐—ฐ๐——๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฑ'๐˜€ net income margin is 31.7%, meaning out of every 100 pesos they earn, 31.70 pesos is profit.
This is ๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฎโ€”and yet they remain ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜. ๐—ช๐—ต๐˜†?
Because their value is in their ๐˜€๐˜†๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—บ, ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ, and ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒโ€”not hidden costs.

We may not have the system or scale yet, but weโ€™re adopting the same principle of ๐—ง๐—ฅ๐—”๐—ก๐—ฆ๐—ฃ๐—”๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—ก๐—–๐—ฌโ€”and weโ€™re doing it in a way that's ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ to fellow students.

While some may fear disclosure, we embrace it as a ๐˜€๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐˜ƒ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ. We want to ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ธ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐˜€ between ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ and ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€, letting them see that we're building this with them, not just for them.

When a friend with an ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด background reacted to our public costing post, it wasn't surprisingโ€” ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜†'๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฎ.

At DaMeal, one of our core objectives is TRANSPARENCYโ€”especially when it comes to our food, pricing, quality, and value. Thatโ€™s why we want to show you where your โ‚ฑ15 really goes when you choose our Dynamite Overload.

While others may offer cheaper alternatives, your โ‚ฑ15 with DaMeal goes beyond just the taste. It covers the ingredients, the preparation, the time, and the passion we pour into every piece. Youโ€™re not just buying foodโ€”youโ€™re leveraging your extra โ‚ฑ2-6 for a more premium and thoughtful meal, compared to other options.

For every piece of Lumpiang Shanghai you buy:
- There's someone who buy and prepared the raw materials/ingredients for the quality Dynamite Overload.
- Thereโ€™s green chili, cheese, carrots, ham, meat, and spices blended for quality.
- Thereโ€™s someone who chopped, wrapped, fried, and served it for you.
- Youโ€™re contributing an extra โ‚ฑ2-6 for a cleaner, tastier, and higher-quality snacks/mealโ€”compared to ordinary alternatives, and;
- Youโ€™re also supporting someoneโ€™s livelihood.

So every time you choose DaMeal, be proud of your โ‚ฑ15. Youโ€™re part of something meaningful.

(4/14) Blessed Semana Santa, mga Ka-DaMeal!

Despite the heat and the Holy Week break, your support never failed to surprise us.
Day 2 of Free Taste yesterday was another hitโ€”thanks to YOU, our amazing friends, classmates, and supporters who showed up with love and energy!

Seeing your reactions after tasting our food, hearing your feedback, and feeling your supportโ€”it fuels our dream. Even though it's a bad review, we still really appreciated it.
We're still far from our goals, pero bawat ngiti at โ€˜sarapโ€™ na naririnig namin, panalo na kami. This journey isnโ€™t just about food, itโ€™s about community, hustle, and building something real from scratch.

Maraming salamat, and may your Semana Santa be peaceful, meaningful, and full of blessings.
Mas marami pa kaming inihahanda para sa inyo, kaya abangan nโ€™yo lang.
