Amid the Corona Virus Pandemic, Ibnu Jamil Sells Chicken Noodles

Kapanlagi.com - Amid the corona virus pandemic, many businesses are suffering losses and even closing down. But Ibnu Jamil is starting a new business. Together with his friends, he chooses to sell chicken noodles called Mantab Jon. Ibnu Jamil's reason for selling chicken noodles is so that he can remain productive in this situation.

"Because for over a month we have been in a situation that is uncertain, work-wise. Honestly, I felt like something was missing in my life, usually there is some activity," said Ibnu Jamil during an interview with the media via zoom, on Friday (8/5).

"I am offering my favorite food, I want to sell noodles in the midst of these limitations. I have to be able to continue my activities and have something, if you want to use a cool term, it is being productive. So I want to be productive and sell Mantab Jon noodles," he continued.

Meanwhile, the reason Ibnu Jamil gave the name Mantab Jon for his business is because Jon himself is the nickname he uses for his friends.

"I often call my friends Jon on Instagram when I'm in different places. It's more like a friendly nickname. Because 'bro' and 'sob' are already too common and I don't want to address my friends with those terms. So I just wanted a new nickname, Jon. It's closer, friendlier, and that's how the name Jon came about," he explained.

2. Affordable Price

Because this mienya business is new, for now the selling system is still pre-order. However, he did not expect to receive such an extraordinary response. "Last night, when I first posted, I received an extraordinary response. Quite a lot of people requested to be sent and many also ordered directly," said Ibnu Jamil.

The price is very friendly, only 25 thousand rupiah for three different varieties of noodles. "For the first time, we have three varieties, the first one is chicken noodles, Bandung-style yamin noodles, and chicken noodles with sambal matah. I priced it according to everyone's budget, not too high or too low, just 25 thousand rupiah for three different varieties," he concluded.
