Ramadan has started a food delivery service called Yangon Door2Door, often only Small business is referred to as D2D, in 2013, the first of its kind in Myanmar Employee about 25 people, including delivery personnel that challenge the streets of the city by bike to deliver your favorite foods straight home.

Door2Door collaborated with about 50 tried and true restaurants in Yangon, offering a variety of popular restaurants in Myanmar, India, and other Westerners. Shipping costs remain more or less as the cost of taking a taxi, but saves customers the time to sit in traffic and run some more cars off the road.

The number of vehicles that clog the streets of the commercial capital has soared in recent years, reforms that began in 2011 was strengthened and restrictions on car imports declined. Ramadan said he noticed the change and felt compelled to respond.

“When I moved to Myanmar in 2010, it occurred to me then that companies do not provide,” said founder and CEO of the company. “But I never thought about starting a delivery at that time because it was very easy to get in Yangon.”

In a few years, he said, everything began to change.

“It took more than 15 or 20 minutes to go to your favorite restaurant, but more than an hour,” he said.

Initially, many challenges he faced to start business. Recruitment was difficult, messengers training was the challenge and find restaurants for hotel association was more difficult than you can imagine.

The execution of the training is perhaps the greatest challenge, as Yangon had a geo-location system fully operational; messengers the only way to learn the ropes is to practice, riding around one restaurant to another to learn all roads and paths.

Door2Door strikes some bumps in the road, and as a service company gets its share of complaints, especially in social networks. A Facebook user recently commented that their delivery took two hours and got wet. The customer discovered that their drinks were not properly packed enough to ride on bad roads of the city.

Ramadan believes that urban planning could benefit your business, your customers and the environment, and urged political leaders to create safer roads, bike use and promote knowledge about transit alternatives.

“Cycling is the future,” he said. “It’s clean, it’s green, is the environment, healthy and uses less space than cars.”

Food and Drug Administration in Myanmar to open an investigation into nearly a dozen coffee factories in Rangoon. A joint commission established last year by many local organizations such as the FDA, the Consumer Protection Association, Consumers Union and the development of city-Committee has made a surprise visit Saturday to 11 coffee factories in industrial zones in Rangoon according Zin Zin Nwe, director Yangon FDA.

Factories are being investigated include coffeemaker local brands such as Super, Premier, Gold and Mikko Sunday roast. Zin Zin Nwe said the FDA could reveal the lab results as soon as possible, but the process could take up to a week.

“Rumors say that the factories were stirring coffee powder made from coconut shells and tamarind seeds in their mix of instant coffee,” said Zin Zin Nwe The Irrawaddy on Monday.
“Our team collected fingerprints of raw materials from factories and had sent them to a lab materials to see if they contain undue substances,” he continued.
According Zin Zin Nwe 12 coffee factories are registered with the FDA. The research teams were able to score one of the factories because it has been closed.
Maung Maung, secretary of the Consumers Union Myanmar, expressed some doubts about the veracity of the rumors.
“The cost of conversion of coconut shells and tamarind seeds in a similar to instant coffee powder powder is more expensive than the typical process mix,” he said, explaining that a small coffee mix soluble package only costs 100 kyat (US $ 0.08) in Burma.
But the FDA results ultimately validate or dispel the speculation, he added.
According to Article 28 of the Law of 1997 National Myanmar food, everyone who produces, import, export, storage, distribution or sale of food that can be toxic, dangerous or harmful to consumers’ health could be imprisoned for up to three years or a fine of 300,000 kyats.
The surprise inspection was the third investigation by the Commission and the FDA is expected to perform similar actions in other parts of the country. However, many local consumer organizations have criticized the FDA for failing to ensure greater food security, although Zin Zin Nwe also explained that the lack of human resources and laboratories has hindered the efforts of the FDA.
