Time & cost constraint.
Because of vendors busyness they could not tell
everything about this sector completely.
Sample size should be more diversified.

ready food instantly for our busy people in a very
cheap price.
All of us has responsibility for them.
If we & our govt. come around & take some
initiative for their improvement they can provide
us more service with quality food in a reasonable
price & by collecting tax from them, they can also
contribute for our nation.
