Dragon Begs Businessman To STOP While He's Ahead | Dragons' Den IRL 

Who’s discovering Ireland has their own version of dragons den just now???

What the chef needs to hear right now are a few encouraging words. "Mike, you're insane."

From the thumbnail I thought he was proposing a pyramid scheme 😂

6:31 "What the chef really needs to hear now are a few encouraging words" Dragon - "Mike, you're insane"

They are so respectable people. If he had been in UK, I guess he would be grilled as hell.

A potahtoh based product in my first ever Irish Dragons’ Den video. What an interesting coincidence.

Research and planning is essentially free. Every business person should do lots of planning. This pitch was really not cooked enough.

9 hour shelf life?!! 😖🙁

I’ve just started watching Irish DD , and the fact that there are Jenny comments in this thread aswell...makes me very happy

I would suggest he partner with a big supplier and he gets his commercial kitchen not far from them, and supply fresh samosas to them.

"You sure you thought this through?" "Yes." "Okay, just checking. I am going to offer you all the money for 15%."

It’s like he’s making it up on the go

These guys are so much more empathetic than the British programme.

I've never heard an Irish - Indian accent! It's genius!

.....he’s also gonna’ need a maintenance guy; ovens will eventually need maintaining!

Mike had really good advice, like he genuinely cared about that guy. Maybe that Irish accent had me.

Another Dragon's Den channel to get my fill. Awesome! Just got this recommended in my Dragon's Den UK feed video. Subscribed :D

Interesting, never thought about what an indian irish accent sounds like.

I'm less than 2 minutes in and I can instantly see that the space utilization of the footprint of the display case is 50%. What a wasteful and impractical design.

6 van drivers going to different places tgats cracked me😂😂😂

1:20 “Anywhere really with a foot flow of over 500 people”. Corona virus: imma ruin this mans whole career

He gave out samples? Were they made less than 9 hours ago?

I cant help thinking about Father Ted while watching this

"NOT FULLY COOKED!!!" And none of them laughed 😶

They're in Ireland which means the Dragons sit on the opposite side.

“Series 2, Episode 3” is not a broadcast date.

The chef should stick to selling his snacks at his shop and to a few Pubs close by. EVERYTHING he has planned will be too costly and impossible to maintain. It is a good thing I am not his friend because by the time I pointed out every one of the flaws in his plan, he would not speak to me again. There is no way to sugar coat his plans.

Flogging Samosa's? Wow, the Indian community will be kicking themselves for missing a trick.

“You want to go home and rethink your life”

Jenny bursts in through the door “IM OUT”

Frozen foods or a fast-food chain would be better for this chef

This man...has a cadence...that would make...William Shatner...weep with joy.

Based on this clip I would say that the Irish are way too friendly for their version of Dragon's Den to work well lol.

Oh bless, I didn't know the Irish had their own version.

Guy was on to something man.

More more videos pls. Thx M8... well.done

1 factory for 1 samosa. 800,000 factories by year 2. The expansion will be unbelievable.

He had no workable business plan. The costs would be larger than the profits. And so regrettably for that reason, Jenny is out.

HAVE TO BE READY FOR EVENTUALITY

1.49 pound you can get 15 samosas in that price

The container should be heated up like for the coated peanuts .

Why did they film this with the Soap Opera filter?

3 seconds in, guy enters with a swagger, methinks crash and burn..

Shamoosas are a common snack, I order them regularly from a Vegetarian Indian restaurant along with other goodies. They don’t have a factory dedicated to this.

Having a samosa factory and the ability to deliver only within a radius of the factory because of the shelfife is not a good idea. That means he would be limited to the business around that area only. It's unfortunate. He might be better off just having a Samosa Food Truck. I wish him good luck.

"Mike's Imaginary Vans........." 😄

couldn't he have them delivered cold? and shop could heat them?

Why not freeze samosas? Great advice.

3:02 why do the Ireland dragons look like mafia members

I've got a better product. It's called SamosApp (TM). It's an app that once downloaded to your phone, you click a button and the samosas are teleported from India and materialise right in your kitchen. They must be eaten within 9 hours though.

Post more pls

the indian irish accent made my day

I'm devided on the idea.

It's like Krispy Kreme. They deliver fresh donuts to grocery stores.

Idk if there’s an equivalent in Ireland, but in America there are vending machine companies that sell “fresh” salads or sandwiches, and replace the food every day. That said, I have no idea if that’s working for them

Feller's accent got me all the way twisted!

I'm Jenny and I'm not on this show, so I'm out!

Samosa definitely has a longer shelf life than 9 hours... At least 24 -48 hours

None of them mentioned the HORRIFIC branding?! Omg, the Jokerman!

All day snack can be have when you are a litte bit nibbly or a little bit less than hungry.... like all snacks in a costum vending machine.

Why would you transport the food hot? That’s insane.

Sounds to me like this should have been a franchising thing: local takeaways frying up samosas in the morning and using their existing drivers to distribute them = low cost of entry for the franchisees, and they'd get the snazzy marketing and hot box for their franchise fees

I’ve got an invention for him it’s an Irish ☘️ DVD 📀 recorder that records the shows you don’t want and plays them back when your out.

Oh my, if he got his practicalities right and planned properly, they would have been right on board! Oh my.

they sell samosas in budgens in London. They dont taste as good as authentic samosas do, but they're designed to be microwavable and last longer than 9 hours. They come precooked and kept at room temp and budgens will mircowave it for you. Its a crazy idea, get into asian flavour sandwiches or something that is scalable. This is madness and wont work.

He'd have been better off pitching a fleet of kitchen trucks that can drive to various locations and make the thing's on site..JS

No Jenny jokes? Jenny: and for that reason I'm out

He's better off developing an app for Samosas on Demand ... No ... He shouldn't !!

better to package the product and sell them to takeaways restaurants..

Things this guy has to pay for before he puts a single cent in his pocket Driver wages Factory worker wages Admin staff wages Cost of stock Cost of his heated units Lease on heated vans Commercial insurance on vans Goods in transit and public liability insurance for each van Lease on factory Lease on cooking equipment or upfront costs of buying it Insurance on factory Insurance on cooking equipment For what he is proposing he needs to be making at least 1k per van per day. The costs are astronomical and 300 per day for 6 vans won't even cover his wage bill per factory. And increasing the number of vans won't necessarily draw in more profits. In order to counteract the costs of having more vans he needs to have a huge fleet of dozens of vans each pulling in 700-1000 euros per day. He was doomed to fail. He has looked at the most basic of costs. His unit and converting a factory. And decided that since they seem reasonable the rest of the business must be viable. And it's just not

Here is a logistics issue. If they are made at 8am and delivered between 9am and 11am, this means they need to be sold by 5pm. This sounds fine and well, but delivery happens as people have left for work. Nobody is out shopping between 9am and 11am. Most people are off work by 5pm, when they expire. This means that you are delivering perishable food when people are at work, and it expires when they are coming home. The vast majority of your market is physically unavailable for purchase. And for that reason, I'm out.

I'll take 6 chicken samosas to go mate.....

FYI, bakeries all over India works on this business model. Caterers makes snacks and deliver it to bakeries on a daily basis. Don't know whether this would work in Ireland, but the economics clearly works here in India and is profitable. Anybody got update on what happened to this business?

He'd make so much more money with less worries/overheads if he just delivered them frozen. Or, penetrated Cork's asshole and dominated it with his Samosas. Then he could let a big company come in and either royalty him out, or take care of other cities. He's going for a marathon run in gumboots right now. Needs to wind it back in and prove his product locally first. He needed to get like 20 of these machines made. And get them all out within a close proximity of the place he currently cooks from. Then he would have had something to show the Dragons.

The Irish dragons are so much nicer then the English ones.

Man the euro really was shit compared to the pound. Money looks thin

His accent is gas Asian/Corkage 🤣🤣🤣brilliant

When your a little bit nibbley :o)

8:18 dragon has the left eye of a small cow...... weird.

9 hours of holding hot food is going to get someone sick. This guy is no chef ~>

china has had these kind of heaters for steamed buns for more than 10 years

WAIT WHAT ? i accidentally jumped into ireland dragons den from UK one , bruh bye ,

That Bobby person looks an awful lot like David Mitchell

Jenny: It's an entirely different TV show, and for that reason I'm out.

Are the dragons in dragons Den Ireland always this nice? 😮

Is it just me but they all look like siblings

Dragons Den IRL implies that the original dragons den happens in a discord call

Why waste time with making $1,800/day before overhead... Yikes

Why didnt she go to the Ireland Dragon'd Den? WTG Deborah.

If he didn't do the chicken one, they wouldn't need to be kept in a heated van and the shelf life would be about a week rather than 9 hours. meat free is the way to go for sure.

17"\$ an order..300$ a day =150 deliveries PER truck a day..doable whats the prob?

why on earth are the dragons on the wrong side on the screen? its madness! dragons even sharks are always on the left side!

That tater famine i heard about at school over then?It must have been the shape.Rectangular snacks are where it's at ffs.

35k to set up a factory? Really? Lol.

Jenny campbell - Ahm oit

Omg they have Irish dragons den

It sounds like this guy would have been better starting his own kind of like Indian bakery or something making Indian treats from his country and then once he became popular enough looking at trying to expand and bring it to other stores around Ireland.

Jenny calls in, "Can you tell the gentleman that I'm interested in investing, my offer is 80k for 20% of your company, and before you answer..... I'm out."

Why are Irish people so lovely?

These Dragons are much nicer and are willing to give business advice for free without being rude or condescending, which is even better. I'm missing the Jenny jokes in the comments though. It just doesn't feel right!
