Ever since we started, even as a pop-up..

We've always been data-driven..

What stays on the menu and how we deliver the Wok It Experience - is all based on data and the feedback that we get.

SAUCES

Salted Egg (29%)

Kam Heong (23%)

Mango S. Chilli  (19%)

Tom Yum (14%)

Green Curry (9%)

Asam Pedas (6%)

There's no changes in rankings for sauces this month..

But what concerns us is..

Green curry and Asam Pedas has been below the 10% mark in a few consecutive months already

Perhaps it's time for a change?

Carbs

White Rice (29%)

Brown Rice (28%)

Kway Teow (19%)

Laksa (13%)

Yellow Noodles (11%)

Nothing really different here either..

This has been the most consistent breakdown of Carbs since the early days..

"Non-Carbs" Carbs
We've been getting requests for a "non-carb" carb options and we've testing on two:

(a) Cauliflower Rice

(b) Zucchini Noodles

Which would you rather see on our menu?

[socialpoll id="2539186"]

PROTEINS

Chicken (32%)

Beef (27%)

Prawns (22%)

Squid (11%)

Tofu (5%)

Cockles (2%)

No changes in rankings here either..

What's interesting is the fact that..

12% of you ordered prawns as your add-on proteins..

Yes, in case you didn't know you could add a second portion of protein for just RM1

WOK IT BOWLS

Crispy deep fried chicken coated in our special sauces - Orange or Kam Heong - and served over steamed white rice and topped with a yolky fried egg.

We first introduced it in conjuction with #GoingXiRiuh and here's how they both compared head vs head

43%

Orange Chicken

VS

57%

Kam Heong

We've been serving this all throughout February too..

and just like everything else on our menu..

let's see if the data says it deserves a spot on our menu - permanently!

The post Stats: What Most People Ordered in January 2019! appeared first on WOKIT.

It's been awhile since we last shared the stats and analysis of your orders - or any other updates on the blog, really. 

We've been getting a lot comments from customers saying that they had enjoyed what we shared on the blog and kept on asking us to revive it. So here we are - reviving it from the dead!

SAUCES

Salted Egg (28%)

Kam Heong (24%)

Mango S. Chilli  (19%)

Tom Yum (16%)

Green Curry (9%)

Asam Pedas (4%)

Let's start with the sauces - the one that truly makes us a unique!

The reigning champion still remains with our Salted Egg sauce!

It's been the favourite since we first introduced it (back when we were still a pop-up!) to this day.

But of course, there's been a lot iterations to the recipe based on all your feedback. 

#1 Best Seller - Salted Egg!

The second most popular used to be Mango Sweet Chilli, which has now been overtaken by Kam Heong.

The top 3 sauces collectively make up 71% of the total orders.

Carbs

White Rice (31%)

Brown Rice (26%)

Yellow Noodles (17%)

Kway Teow (16%)

Laksa (10%)

It's official - we Malaysians LOVE our rice! More than half (57% to be exact) of your orders were either White or Brown rice.

What's particularly interesting is the difference in choice when it comes to Noodles between our Subang and Bangsar outlets.

Best Selling Noodles (by Outlet)

21%

Yellow Noodles

Bangsar

19%

Kway Teow

Subang

As you can see, Yellow Noodles is more popular in Bangsar with Kway Teow coming in second at 12%.

While Kway Teow is more popular in Subang at 19% and Yellow Noodles came in second with 12%.

From our observation, our Subang outlet serves more locals, while our Bangsar outlet serves a more international demographics - which seem to prefer Yellow Noodles.

PROTEINS

Chicken (37%)

Beef (27%)

Prawns (20%)

Squid (10%)

Tofu (4%)

Cockles (2%)

No surprises here, Chicken has always been the most popular ever since we started and to be honest, the standings has not changed at all.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

What's different from any of our past analysis is that we've now added Tofu to the menu. This is to cater for the vegetarians, as well as the more health conscious eaters.

We're quite surprised to see Tofu made up of 4% of the total orders. 

VEGES

Broccoli (29%)

Mushroom (27%)

Carrots (18%)

Capsicum (10%)

Pak Choi (9%)

Beansprouts (7%)

Similarly to Proteins, the rankings of our Vegetable options has not changed much. Broccoli and Mushrooms has always been the two top two choices.

The type of Mushrooms we currently use is the Oyster Mushroom.  

Health Fact: Oyster mushrooms have been found to have a relaxation effect on the smooth muscle of the arterial walls, thus effectively lowering blood pressure. (source)

The post All Your Orders – Analyzed! (October 2018) appeared first on WOKIT.

What did we do on NYE? We Wok-ed It up at Tapaufest 2016!

Since you've been living under the tempurung, let us enlighten you..​

Tapaufest is an urban festival celebrating Malaysia's independent scene - from Music, Theatre/Film, Fashion, Food and more...

There's music performances from top indie artists, ​screening by local filmmakers, local fashion brands and much more..

In 2014, TAPAUFest made history by becoming the first and biggest crowdfunded festival in South East Asia by exceeding their target of RM85,000 in 30 days.

It was their crowdfunding success that made us optimistic that we could raise the funds we needed with our very own crowdfunding campaign back in January 2016. ​

Tapaufest had raised the bar even higher this year by raising the goal to RM100,000!

Yup, that's not a typo - that's ​15% higher than before, not to mention the extra zero at the back. 

Here's what's on offer to raise the RM100,000:​

..and here's how the campaign ended:

Needless to say, we were super excited to be part of this awesome event!

​What better way to celebrate New Year's Eve than to celebrate a great year in Malaysia's independent scene! #katasapot

Now 3 days after, we still have TAPAUFest withdrawals! We had loadsa fun at the event!

Getting ourselves ready to serve..

It was definitely nice to see some familiar faces coming over and newcomers only discovering our existence too!

We got so excited that we decided to dig deeper into our own numbers just to learn more about you people that were at TAPAUFest and had Wok-ed It with us!​

How Did We Do At TAPAUFest?

Here's what we served at TAPAUFest broken down:

253 Boxes Served

84 Sides Served

That's not too bad, ey? To us it's - fantastic! 

We also offered Meal Deals where you get to have a Noodle Box AND Sides for ONLY RM15 and to our surprise 26% of you took up the Meal Deal!

26 % Take-Up Rate

On a side note (pun intended), we found that the best line to use when upselling the sides for the Meal Deal was...

Would you like to add Sides for ONLY RM5?

Best Upsell Line

Besides our customizable stir-fries and sides, we also brought our famous Crispy Sambal to TAPAUFest. How well did that sell? About 10% of you who bought a Noodle Box bought our Crispy Sambal too!

Honestly, we could definitely have done better - something to look into in our SOP!​

We've learned from past experiences that it makes more sense - operationally - to somewhat limit the amount of choices at events and especially festivals.

Here's what we brought with us to TAPAUFest:-

Through past experiences, it made more sense to not bring Rice (either White or Brown) to events - the effort needed isn't quite justified in the numbers.

We also limited the choices of Proteins, Veggies and Sauces to only 4 at events.

Limiting the choices helps the operational flow and our output time. You'd be surprised at the amount of time people can take to decide. 

And as always, we love to dig deeper into your orders and find out what you guys decided to choose with our customizable menu.

Here's what we found out about what you guys ordered...

There you have it, folks! That's Wok It's TAPAUFest by the numbers..

We truly ended 2016 on a high while being at TAPAUFest 2016!

We're excited be going into the New Year, believe it or not - we can't wait to fail!

Because we treat failure differently here at Wok It, we embrace it and learn from it and 2016 was truly a year full of failures - which we've learned from!

The post TAPAUFest 2016: By The Numbers appeared first on WOKIT.

Before we go into today's post, we at Wok It would like to wish all of you - Selamat Hari Raya!

​It's never too late to wish someone, Raya kan sebulan?

Considering that it was Ramadan just a few weeks ago, we thought it'd be cool to share our findings for the Ramadan period ( June 6th-July 5th 2016). 

It's been awhile since we last posted an Order Analysis post. The last time we did was for January!

It was our first Ramadan since we started operating daily. It was EPIC the last time we opened up during Ramadan at Roast & Grind (now known as Classic Rebel). 

We sold 160 boxes in just under 4 hours that night. 

But of course, we knew that was probably a one-off thing when we were still a pop-up.

We had high expectations based on this fact, but we knew things might not be the same this time around. 

We've heard mixed reviews on how the f&b business is like during Ramadan from a few seasoned people in the business. 

The common consensus was, it's usually Boom or Bust during Ramadan. 

We were curious and excited to find out ourselves..

We devised a plan together with Grind 22 on what to offer during Ramadan. 

The plan was simple, to offer a special combo menu with refillable drinks and a buffet line selection of desserts (kuih melayu, kuih mat salleh, bubur lambuk, etc) - all for RM34.90 only!

​We invented two new sides dishes to go with any two of our preselected Wok it box options with the plan to change the menu every week,

On Week 1, we made:​

Sounds pretty good right?

Not only that, we decided to close during the day and open at 6PM while extending our closing time to 1AM.

Thinking we'd cater to the sahur seeking dwellers.

We even drew up a plan to best serve every single customer - the most efficiently, even when we get really busy.

We opted not to offer our customisable menu during the period that our Ramadan special is on (6PM-9PM).

Just to ensure that we can deliver the "Wok It Experience" with our new menu - ready for everyone by Maghrib. 

Sounds like a fail proof plan, right?

You'd imagine it would be a jolly good makan all night session every single night, right?

WRONG!

It totally tanked, 

We had a total sale of..ONE! (Not a typo) ​

Why It Failed

In analysing what went wrong, we came up with a few conclusions:

We could really go all day talking about why the plan failed.

The Turning Point..

But one key thing we noticed was..

​People were actually asking if they could have the usual Wok It boxes instead. 

They were asking on our posts promoting our Ramadan specials even!

That's when we realized, we had totally missed the point!​

We weren't sticking to our core - which is to give our customers what THEY want!​

It's ​what our main product is all about - customisable stir fries made the way YOU want it!

We should have stuck to our core rather than being so worried by what other f&b operators were doing.

We then decided to pivot and started focusing on our core once again.

The Pivot

We created a new campaign on Ramadan focusing on our core - making our customisable Wok It boxes available. 

To sweeten the deal, we added Free Sides (worth RM5) for every purchase of 2 Wok It boxes. ​

Chicken Bombs - The Favourite Choice For Sides

We completely changed the direction of our Ramadan campaign. 

We also analysed the the number of sales we made by extending our operating hours to 1am daily.

The take-up rate at those hours didn't quite justify extending the hours. 

Again, we decided to pivot and open at the same time as we normally do - from 12pm to 10pm (1am Fri/Sat). ​

Can you guess how well we did after?​

The Lesson

It seems clear to us what the major lesson was..

We should always stick to our core - which is giving you what YOU want!

Another thing we learnt was to always trust the data - the data that we had collected ourselves. 

Don't just simply act based on what other f&b operators are saying or doing (no matter how experienced they are or seem to be).

Always trust YOUR OWN DATA!

​Other f&b operators' experiences, situations or even vision might not always be the same as ours.

The data will speak for itself.

We should be focusing on our customers and what THEY want. The data is what will tells us what they want.

The change in sales just about proves it. ​

Update: What We're Doing This Year (2017)

This year, we're starting our first delivery service. The late night sahur delivery which goes out at 10pm daily. 

• We currently only deliver to places within 10km radius of our shop in Lorong Maarof, Bangsar.
• Delivery charges are: within 5km radius/RM5, 10km radius/RM10,
• Last order is at 8PM and payment by 9PM on delivery day. 
• Payment can be made by a simple bank transfer. 

Order Now

Speaking of data..

Here's an analysis and breakdown of what you guys ordered during Ramadan.​

Step 4: Sauces

Mango S.Chilli (28%)

Salted Egg (28%)

Spicy Peanut (14%)

Thai Basil (13%)

Rendang (10%)

Dry Curry (7%)

Now, it comes to the big showdown - the Sauces!

We have a new winner in Salted Egg (28%) sharing the top spot with an old fave, Mango Sweet Chilli (28%).

It's nice to see that Salted Egg has really caught up in popularity, but we also think the Carbs selection also plays a role when choosing your sauce.

Considering that White Rice was the top pick, it's no surprise that Salted Egg had an edge over the rest.

White/Brown Rice is what we would recommend first when it comes to Salted Egg.

Another fave combo that we've found with Salted Egg was with Kway Teow - who would've thought?

Recommended #WokIt Combo: Salted Egg + Kway Teow 

Click to Tweet

We also added a new sauce Rendang, which fared pretty well at 10%.

Our new sauce, Rendang with Noodles, Beef, Capsicum and Beansprouts

That's still more than Dry Curry which has always been the least favourite choice.

Should we remove/replace our Dry Curry sauce?

Share it with us in the comments section below. ​

Ramadan was truly a journey of self-discovery for us spiritually and in business.

It was a blessed one despite the challenges.

One positive that we could take from this experience was that since we were already planning to offer different selections of sides every week for our Ramadan special combo.

We decided to simply test the recipes anyway despite the fact that we've pulled the plug on our Ramadan Special. 

It seems to be a culture now for members of the Wok Squad (that's the people that gives you the Wok It Experience) to be experimenting on new recipes and ideas. 

Wok It Experiment

Not only on food, but we've been testing and studying on taking good food photography too! 

We even learned a few tricks on food photography

We would take this new culture over making more sales in Ramadan, any day!

If you're lucky, you might even be a tester on one of those nights that we decide to mess about in the kitchen.

Some of our experiments might also just end up on our menu - permanently!

Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook, that's where we share what we're currently up to.

Have you had the "Wok It Experience" in the last 30 days? If yes, we would love to hear your feedback here. 

The post The Great Ramadan Plan That Failed! (Almost) appeared first on WOKIT.

We're happy to announce that we successfully raised RM14,495 in our #MakeWokItPermanent crowdfunding campaign. That's 45% more than our initial goal of raising RM10,000. 

We owe it all to you, we can't thank you enough for all your support and for believing in what we have to offer. Thank you, thank you, and THANK YOU!

Our goal was to raise RM10,000 to make Wok It Permanent at Grind 22 and it's now safe to say that we're going to be permanent at Grind 22, Bangsar! 

Read the original campaign page here.

The crowdfunding idea came about as we were working towards our first permanent place at Grind 22, Bangsar. As things progressed, we realized that we were RM10,000 short of making it a reality. 

For RM10,000, we thought it was a bit too small of a sum to get a loan from the bank plus we didn't want the burden of having to pay interests when we're just starting out.

So, we started to think of alternatives and at the end, we thought crowdfunding would be the best option. Not only do we get to raise the funds we need, we would also get to reward our most loyal followers as well as potential customers. 

After the month long campaign ended, here's how we did:-

We offered 7 different pledge options with additional rewards as you move up the tier.

We included two options, pledges for individuals and also for corporate sponsors.

Individual Pledges​

For individual pledges, the options were from RM5 up to RM 200. We didn't want to limit the amount that people could pledge, as we understand that some might not have the extra cash but still wanted to support. We didn't want to leave them out. 

Click Here To View The Rewards

Here's the break down of the different pledge options for individuals:-

It's pretty clear that most of you opted for the higher reward tiers with 60% of the pledges was above RM100.

There was only 1 person who actually pledged RM 5, we can safely say that it was the most satisfying high-five we've ever given.  

​Quite honestly, that was the strategy - to get the least amount of people to pledge in order to raise the most amount of money. We structured the rewards in such a way that it just made sense for you to pledge more. 

It was simple mathematics, we needed only 50 people to pledge RM200 to reach our initial target of RM10,000. As compared to 200 people to pledge RM50 to get to RM10k.

It's easier to "sell" to 50 people than 200, don't you think? 

Corporate Sponsors

Going back to "selling" more to less people, we also figured early on that our life would be so much easier if we could get a big chunk of the funds from a corporate sponsor.

If we could just get one sponsor to pledge RM5,000, we would already be halfway to reaching our goal! 

We're happy to announce that we actually did get corporate sponsors who pledged a total of RM5,000. 

We're super glad that one of the brands that pledged was our favourite juice drink when we were in school - Freshie! 

Most of you born in the '80s or early '90, might remember Freshie from back in school. Well, they're trying to rejuvenate the brand and we're happy to be a part of it! 

In exchange for their RM5,000 sponsorship (pledge), we will be printing 5,000 of our boxes to incorporate both of our brands.

Not only that, we will also be able to offer you special deals when you purchase both of our products together.

It wasn't a WIN-WIN situation, but rather WIN-WIN-WIN!

For the design of our box, we're currently working with one of the most famous and mysterious doodlers in Malaysia (with over 73.8k followers on Instagram!) - Ann Jfr!

She's doodled on our boxes in numerous occasions and she even did the doodles for our "Shake It" sides. 

We can't wait to see what she comes up with for this latest project.  

We wasted no time after our campaign and had contacted our suppliers the very next day to get things rolling. 

The current progress of our kitchen - ready for the equipment!

After a bit of back and forth, the target date for completion is now tentatively 11th March 2016.

We will however not be fully open until maybe a few days after as we also need to test and have a feel of what we're going to be working with. 

Why is it taking so long? This is because of the limited space that we actually have to work with at Grind 22.

We had to customize most of the kitchen equipment to make it as efficient as possible. It has to be, that's the whole idea to begin with - to be able to serve you MORE! ​

1. Campaign platform used- pitchIN!

In case you didn't know, our crowdfunding campaign was hosted on Malaysia's first crowdfunding platform, pitchIN. 

The project page on pitchIN (view it here)

You probably might have not noticed this as we designed our own campaign page and hosted it right here on our website (here and here). 

Why? We wanted a design that's responsive (would fit all screen sizes including mobile and desktop) as we've found that most of our traffic comes from mobile. 

A little peek at our analytics as proof

It just made logical sense to have our campaigns to have a better experience for those on mobile. 

Unfortunately, the current design on pitchIN isn't responsive and the timing of campaign was just before their redesign was to launch.

So, we decided to take matters into our own hands.  

They're expected to launch their new design soon, so keep an eye out for that. It's not only going to be a redesign, they're planning to launch equity crowdfunding on their platform soon too. 

We're already thinking of doing an equity crowdfunding for our next outlet. What do you think, does the idea of actually owning a part of a Wok It store excite you?

2. First F&B Crowdfunding Campaign Ever!

We would like to believe that we are Malaysia's first F&B crowdfunding campaign, but we don't actually have the data to proof that. 

What we can be sure of is that we're the first ever F&B crowdfunding campaign on pitchIN.

First!

Heck, they even had to create a whole new category just for us!

Ok, we might be blowing our own horns a little there. They were planning on adding F&B as a category after their redesign anyway. But hey, let us busk in some glory will ya? We're still first! 

3. Most Active Times Of The Campaign

We don't usually jump into something without research and from our studies we've found out that the activity over the life of the campaign is bell shaped ie most active in the beginning and towards the end of the campaign. 

It was certainly true for us in our campaign. We raised 10% of our initial goal RM10k goal in the first hour (RM1,000) of our campaign and raised ​22% of the total amount raised (RM14,495) in the final two hours of the campaign. 

We also decided to extend the campaign a few hours from 5pm to midnight 15 Feb 2016.

It was a Sunday and we figured most people would probably be out during the day and home at night. ​So we wanted to catch you at your most convenient, when you're home and could actually pay attention to the message we wanted to bring across. 

This certainly proved to be the right move as we raised about RM 3,200 in the two hours leading to midnight. ​

We really didn't know what to expect when we decided to jump head first into the rather unknown world of crowdfunding but this famous quote by Wayne Gretzky helped us push through. 

We've learned plenty from this experience and there are certainly many things that we would have done differently if we had the chance. We might even share that in a separate post.  

Once again, we can't thank you enough for all the support that you've given us. It is your believe and support that keeps us moving forward everyday - Thank You!

We operate based on feedback, so it's you that has actually built Wok It to what it is today. If you've had your "Wok It Experience" recently, please do share your feedback with us, so we can continue to improve. 

Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook to find out where we'll be popping up next and get the latest updates on the progress of our new permanent place  - only at Grind 22, Bangsar!

The post Inside: Wok It’s Crowdfunding Success (RM14,495 Raised!) appeared first on WOKIT.

2015 was a kick ass year for us, it was the year we got our start and we're ecstatic over the response we've received from all of you and will be forever grateful for your support. 

Here's a quick recap of how we did in 2015:

Riding on our success in 2015 (we deem it as a success, at least), we've got even bigger plans for 2016!

We kicked off 2016 with our crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for our first permanent place up and running at Grind 22, Bangsar. More on our crowdfunding campaign here

While we're running our crowdfunding campaign, we've also been popping up at Grind 22, Bangsar every Friday night last January. 

​We call it Stir-Frydays! You know we love our puns ;)  

By popping up at Grind 22, we hope that we can give you a good picture of how awesome it would be when we have moved in permanently. 

Altogether, we popped up over three Fridays last January. 

And in true Wok It fashion, we've taken a dive into all all your orders and scrutinised them. 

Here's a quick analysis of what you guys ordered in those three days:-​

We tested something different with our Shake It by changing it's base. 

You can still add as much seasonings as you like, just like before. 

But instead of mushrooms as it's base, we changed it to Chicken Bombs this January. ​

The feedback that we've received has been encouraging, but we would love to hear your thoughts..

Which do you prefer? Chicken or mushrooms? Cast your votes below...​

We sibuk-sibuk and took a peek at what drinks you guys ordered the last event (29th Jan 2016).

Since the drinks are Grind 22 territory, we can't really share it with you in full detail. 

But what we can do is to break it down between coffee and non-coffee based drinks. 

Here's what you guys chose to pair your Wok It meals with:​

Looks like you guys preferred coffee based drinks. Well, it is a coffeeshop after all. 

While we can't share the full breakdown, we can however tell you what is Grind 22's best selling drink. 

It's their signature - Nona Latte! 

The Nona Latte is our favourite drink here at Grind 22 too. If you haven't tried it, this should definitely be your next drink at Grind 22. 

There you have it folks, all of your orders last January - analysed! 

If you've been to Wok It @ Grind 22 last January, we would seriously love to hear your thoughts and feedback. That's what the comment section is for at the bottom of this post. 

So feel free to share how your "Wok It Experience" was at Grind 22, Bangsar below. 

PS:- If you haven't checked out our crowdfunding campaign to #MakeWokItPermanent at Grind 22, Bangsar. You can do so by clicking here. 

PSS: If you have checked it out, it would mean the world to us if you shared it with your friends and family too.

The post All Your Orders – Analyzed! (January 2016) appeared first on WOKIT.

We kicked off the Wok Tour at Foodgasm Festival on the 1st of November and wrapped it up at Thursdvys last Friday, 27th November 2015.

Here’s how we did in that time:-

We did 221 boxes more than our target of 1,000 boxes! That's 22.1% more than we expected. 

Thank you all for Wokin' It with us, we couldn't have done it without you. 

W​e had a kick ass time serving all of you..Thank You!

If you didn’t know, we love data here at Wok It (as evidenced here and here before).

We collect and compile every one of your orders and analyse the data - just to understand YOU better.

Another thing we love is - sharing! So, here are the data we collected broken down into each step of our four step menu. 

Step 2: Proteins

Beef (26%)

Chicken (26%)

Prawns (24%)

Squid (9%)

Cockles (7%)

It’s quite clear what the top 3 favourites are with Proteins.

Beef and Chicken share the top spot with 26% each and prawns at 24%. With squid and cockles being far behind at 9% and 7% respectively. 

We were quite surprised by the low take up rate on Squid actually.

Strangely, it reminded us of House Greyjoy's Kraken sigil.

Warning: Game of Thrones references incoming..

and how everyone hates the Greyjoys in The Game of Thrones (more specifically, Theon Greyjoy). 

When it came to Cockles, it reminded us of how Theon Greyjoy turned into Reek:

Cockles - get it?

Unfortunately, there isn’t a house with beef or chicken on their sigil to show their dominance on our menu. 

Sorry, if you didn’t get the references. The author couldn't resist. 

If you didn’t get it, you know what to add to your watchlist. 

We're thinking of a few different proteins to add to the menu.

If you have any suggestions, please do share it with us here:

Step 4: Sauces

Thai Basil (27%)

Spicy Peanut (26%)

Mango S.Chilli (24%)

Dry Curry (21%)

The stats for sauces is what makes us most excited!

We take pride in our sauces as it’s all an original - engineered in our kitchen!

Our sauces is what truly gives the unique taste and flavour of Wok It.

It was a fair fight between Thai Basil and Spicy Peanut in our last Wok Tour Stats update, just before our last venue at Thursdvys.

We had a little wager between us on which would end up on top.

In the end, Thai Basil was the victor albeit marginally at only 1% ahead of Spicy Peanut. 

We’re also happy to see that it was quite evenly spread among the sauce selections.

This is validation that what we’re offering is being accepted by you.

Have you got any ideas for a new sauce? Share it with us in the comments section below.

We also introduced our new sides, Shake It, during the Wok Tour. 

We're happy to say that it was quite a hit this Wok Tour! Here's how it did:

​If you noticed, most of the items on our menu are quite flexible where it's easy for us to switch things out.

In this case, the base for Shake It could be changed from mushrooms to something else, like squid, chicken, etc. 

We also have the flexibility of changing things up with the seasonings that we can offer.

How do we decide on what should stick on the menu?

In the end, it all boils down to you - we let the data validate our ideas and chart the course for our menu and everything else that we do. ​

There you have it folks - all 1,221 of your orders, analysed!

The Wok Tour was a great success for us and it was all because of you - Thank you!

We also owe it to kind people that accepted us in to their respective joints for us to share the Wok It Experience with you.

If you’re ever in these areas and looking for a good coffee joint, this is the only list you’ll ever need:-

Check 'em out folks, we can truly vouch for every single one on the list! 

One last thing, we also used the Wok Tour to validate some of the hypotheses and assumptions that we had.

We’re thrilled to say that we’ve had some very positive data so far.

Positive enough to say that we may have some big news for you.

Could it be that you can soon have the Wok It Experience on any day of the week?

Maybe..

Stay tuned to find out!

The post Wok Tour Stats: All Your Orders Analysed! appeared first on WOKIT.

We keep track of everything you order, mainly to help us understand you better. 

The data we track also gives us the additional benefit of knowing what and how much ingredients to prep in order to meet your needs. Which also means better cost control. 

Anyway, we thought it would be fun to share the data with you - the very people that make up the numbers! 

We analyzed the numbers at our last event at BNGKL and broke it down below. 

If you're curious to know how you contributed to the numbers or what everyone else ordered..

Read on as we break it down at every single step of our four step menu. 

Step 2: Proteins

31 %

Chicken

29 %

Beef

20 %

Prawns

12 %

Squid

7 %

Cockles

With proteins, the favourites were pretty obvious. Chicken takes the cake with beef not far behind (2% difference). 

Chicken and beef were clear favourites!

What's interesting is that we thought seafood was going to be more popular.

Our estimates couldn't have been more far off from the numbers we collected. But it was.  

This served as a good reminder - don't ignore the data! We prepped based on gut rather than on data this time around.

And our "Master of Coin" wasn't too happy with that. Understandbly why. 

It was no surprise that Cockles was the least popular choice. We understand that it  doesn't go with most Carbs except Kway Teow.

However, we also know that to some people Kway Teow just isn't complete without Cockles. So, we're keeping it on but at less quantities.  

Step 3: Vegetables

29 %

Mushrooms

23 %

Capsicum

20 %

Broccoli

10 %

Beansprouts

8 %

Snow Peas

As for vegetables, it clearly shows that you guys have expensive taste! The top three choices were all imported vegetables. 

A majority of you picked Mushrooms (29%), while Capsicum (23%) and Broccoli (20%) were the second and third most popular choice. ​

The two favourites after Mushroom (29%)

Since you get to choose two different vegetables with our standard box (vs 1 Carb/Protein/Sauce), the distribution is slightly different with the data .

This makes it a bit more complicated to analyze. Ok, no not really. We just need to divide the total orders of each vege by twice the amount of boxes sold to get the percentage. 

But essentially, we also need to analyze which is the most popular combination of the 2 veges. But, Nanti lah...

Anyway, we were quite surprised that not many of you opted for Snow Peas. We thought it was going to be a hit when we added it.

Simply because, we loved it ourselves.

Snow Peas adds a nice crunch AND a sweet surprise of the oozing juices of the peas as you bite its soft texture. A nice delicate counter to the crunch. 

How could you say no to that?

But again, the data tells us everything. We might leave it on  our menu for the time being and help promote it even more. ​

Maybe it's just something new that most people aren't familiar with with their Stir Fries - which means more effort needs to be made in educating customers. 

Or maybe it's just not what you guys want. ​Let's see what the data tells us in the next few events. 

Step 4: Sauce

33 %

Thai Basil

31 %

Mango S.Chilli

30 %

Spicy Peanut

It was a pretty even match-up when it comes to the sauces. 

​After a few weeks of testing and tweaking our two new sauces, Thai Basil and Mango Sweet Chilli, we're happy to see that it's all well received by most of you. 

We've had great feedback from you guys on both of our new sauces!

It was even more popular than our all-time favourite, Spicy Peanut sauce, too!

Needless to say, the data tells us that these three sauces are a mainstay on our menu - Period! 

Proud to say that we've potentially found the three permanent sauces on our menu..Thanks to all of you!

"But wait, the numbers don't add up to 100% - what's the deal?"​

The 6% difference is actually for our "Secret" sauce.

Not many people know that it exists, but we do have a special sauce - at limited quantities - just for rice (white or brown). 

6 %

"Secret" Sauce

If you're part of the 94% who doesn't know of this sauce, maybe you should hang out with us more!
