The problem they encountered in terms of management operations (1) There are instances when no one could watch the store while the author's out to buy supplies. (2) The Freshkeni Sari-Sari store page was not effective in the business and the prices of the products were increasing which resulted in gaining less profit. (3) Some of the products were not being sold which led to less income (4) Inventories were not properly recorded and sometimes the author's net income is only P300.00 per day when she needs a net income of P400 a day. Their solutions were; (1) The entrepreneur decided to have a schedule on what day she buys supplies so someone can watch the store while she's out. (2) The entrepreneur used another strategy like having a tarpaulin and she found another supplier that offers a cheaper price. (3) Communicate with the customers to know what they need and want to avoid the increasing expenses. (4) The Entrepreneur decided to record her inventories daily and decided to open every Saturday to increase her net income.
