Just do a search using google using "root beer float served in singapore" and you will get quite a good list of the places where they are served. Even a wine/bar at One fullerton serves it. If you go in depth, you can even find the pricing for each. No need to guess what hotels are charging for it though.
Originally posted by Lubb-Shhh-Dubb:Grin, the problem is unless you own the copyright to something, you can totally expect people to jump onto the bandwagon. Case in point being the massive number of bubble tea and sugarcane stalls seen. But if you end up doing a good job and getting long queues for your root beer / western food, do expect the drink stall to start selling rootbeer floats at cheaper prices.And they'll prob end up selling sprite floats, coke floats, heck even Kickapoo floats as well.
As it is, i dont see ANYBODY selling rootbeer floats in most dinner/supper hawker places. Hence if you did start selling floats, I think you would do pretty well initially. I think you have the assumption that people drink sugarcane all the time since there are so many sugarcane stalls. I beg to differ. Walk into a hawker center and you see a people drinking coke, sprite, etc etc. Will the sugarcane people jump ship and drink rootbeer floats? Maybe yes, maybe no, i dont really think old ah peks will drink a rootbeer float ;P But they will drink sugarcane. The rest of the population and those that usually drink softdrinks will prob love the opertunity to have something different.
Possible marketing strategy would be to sell root beer floats in different sizes. Tall thin glasses for the weight watchers, standard size, and big mugs for those that can say "Heck care to weight, I want a Rootbeer!" You could even have supersized mugs that if consumed within 10 seconds, they get the rootbeer + hotdog for free or something ;P
Just my 2 cents worth on how you could make yourself standout from the competition that will almost inevitably spring up.
wow wow wow.. very nice comments... appreciate very much.
Well if your's is a cafe, I wun go to a cafe to drink sugar cane -_-"
Anyway instead of having just rootbeer float you can have cherry ad float, sprite float etc etc
I mean it's just a soft drink with a scoop of ice-cream, just that everyone loves it
And yes if there are not a lot of fancy drinks, I tend to choose a float over a soft drink
