Cuban succeeds with a fast food cart in Brazil

A Cuban resident in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, showed how he gets ahead, in a country where he is a foreigner, with a fast food cart.

Alejandro Guevara Cardoso shared on his accountTikTok a video where he explains how he got to the business he has today.

“I had a hard time finding a job, so I decided to start my own business, small but it is my own business,” explains the young man, who according to his Facebook profile is a chemical engineer.

Alejandro is dedicated to selling fried potatoes or what in Brazil is known as “batata”.

To choose the place, Alejandro positioned himself in a busy square in the city of Rio, where he offers food with the particularities of the country.

“Important is the variety of prices, so that the customer has several offers,” says the young man, while showing the sizes of the portions in which he ships the product.

As Alejandro explains, before establishing his business,It was crucial to evaluate the market considering factors such as the type of feed, the equipment, the salt you would use and the location.

In the comments section, the young man from Havana said that he arrived in Brazil through tourism a year ago.

“I decided to stay and start the process for refuge”. He assures that it is a simple procedure. “Brazil is a country that gives papers quickly, you have the right to everything, education, health, work,” he stated.

Now he hopes that the acceptance of Brazilians will be good so that this entrepreneurial idea of a Cuban outside his native country continues to grow.
