People say they rent a small room, do business, survive? 😱

Everyone sees that just an old motel room in the middle of Ashoka can do anything, but for us, this small room is the kitchen, the study room and the studio at the same time. A small room less than 20K a month is very rare. In the middle of the city, which many people overlook, it has become where we try to come up with a new recipe every day, and it has become a photo studio that can be taken at any angle, even how small. 📸

We talk to all suppliers in this room, call everyone involved in branding, and open up for friends to taste chocolate, give live feedback every time they have a new recipe.

Every time someone asks, "Are you going to survive?" we want to see what we can build from this small room, because really, in this day and age, you don't need a luxury office, a big team, or a lot of capital. All you need is a real will and a heart.

Please follow our journey. September 2025. See you. 💋

... Read moreถ้าใครเสิร์ช “gasm chocolates” แล้วสงสัยว่าทำไมแบรนด์ถึงเริ่มจาก “ห้องกลางอโศก” เล็กๆ ได้ บอกเลยว่าเราตั้งใจทำให้พื้นที่เดียว “ใช้งานได้จริง” แบบครบวงจร: ครัวก็มี ห้องทำงานก็มี และ Studio ก็มี (ถึงจะเล็กแต่จัดดีๆ แล้วถ่ายได้หลายมุมมาก) สิ่งที่เราได้เรียนรู้จากการเริ่ม GASM Chocolates ในห้องเช่าไม่ถึง 20K คือ “ต้นทุนคงที่” สำคัญกว่าที่คิด เพราะพอค่าเช่าไม่บาน เราจะมีเงินเหลือไปลงกับของที่จำเป็นต่อคุณภาพ เช่น วัตถุดิบ/แพ็กเกจ/อุปกรณ์ หรือการทดลองสูตรใหม่ทุกวัน ซึ่งตรงนี้คือหัวใจของแบรนด์ช็อกโกแลตเลย ทริคการจัดห้องเล็กให้ทำได้ขนาดนี้ (เผื่อใครอยากเริ่มธุรกิจคล้ายๆ กัน) 1) แบ่งโซนชัดๆ แม้พื้นที่น้อย: โซนทำ/โซนแพ็ก/โซนถ่ายรูป แยกหน้าที่กัน จะลดความวุ่นและลดความผิดพลาดเวลาทำงานจริง 2) อุปกรณ์เลือกแบบ “พับเก็บ/เคลื่อนย้ายได้”: โต๊ะพับ ชั้นวางล้อเลื่อน กล่องเก็บของแบบซ้อน ช่วยให้ห้องเดิมสลับบทบาทเป็นครัวและสตูดิโอได้เร็ว 3) ตั้งมุมถ่ายรูปประจำ: เราใช้มุมเดิมเป็น Studio หลัก แล้วปรับพร็อพ/พื้นหลังเอา ทำให้คอนเทนต์สินค้าออกมาสม่ำเสมอและไม่เสียเวลาจัดใหม่ทุกครั้ง 4) ทำไฟให้คุมได้: ห้องเล็กแสงมักไม่นิ่ง การมีไฟต่อเนื่อง/ไฟวงแหวน และฉากเล็กๆ จะช่วยให้ถ่ายได้ทุกมุมแม้พื้นที่จำกัด อีกอย่างที่ทำให้ GASM Chocolates เดินต่อได้ คือการคุยกับ supplier และคนเกี่ยวข้องแบบต่อเนื่อง (ในห้องนี้แหละ) แล้วเปิดให้เพื่อนๆ แวะมาชิม ให้ feedback กันสดๆ ทุกครั้งที่มีสูตรใหม่ ข้อดีคือเราได้มุมมองจริงจากคนกิน ไม่ต้องเดาเองว่าควรปรับหวาน/ขม/กลิ่น/เท็กซ์เจอร์ยังไง คำถาม “จะรอดหรอ?” เราเจอบ่อยมาก แต่พอทำไปเรื่อยๆ จะรู้ว่าไม่จำเป็นต้องมีออฟฟิศหรูหรือทีมใหญ่ตั้งแต่วันแรก สิ่งสำคัญคือระบบเล็กๆ ที่ทำซ้ำได้: ทดลองสูตร → ขอฟีดแบ็ก → ปรับสูตร → ถ่ายรูป → ปล่อยคอนเทนต์ → คุยลูกค้า/ซัพพลายเออร์ → ทำซ้ำ ถ้าคุณกำลังเริ่มธุรกิจและมีแค่ห้องเล็กๆ อยากให้มองว่ามันไม่ใช่ข้อจำกัดเสมอไป มันคือจุดเริ่มต้นที่คุมต้นทุนได้ดีมาก และถ้าจัดเป็น ห้องเดียวก็กลายเป็นครัว+ที่ทำงาน+สตูดิโอได้จริงเหมือนกัน
