Dan's Steaks by former radio DJ Daniel Ong to shut down: 'Running a small business is incredibly tough'
Former radio DJ Daniel Ong is closing his final Dan's Steaks restaurant outlet due to rising operational costs and increased market competition. The business, which began as a home-based venture during the pandemic, will cease operations in a few months.
Why it matters
The closure reflects broader economic pressures on small businesses, particularly in the food and beverage sector, facing inflationary costs.
Daniel Ong, who used to operate the now-defunct Twelve Cupcakes, announced on Tuesday (Jul 28) that he will be shutting down his last remaining Dan's Steaks outlet, citing rising costs.
