Beni said that before entering the coconut ice business he worked at a hotel and restaurant in the Kuta area, Bali as a demi chef. He quarreled with taste standards and food preparation.

Beni admitted that at that time he was unemployed, meaning he had no work. He then tried to open a food stall business according to his expertise in the Bekasi area. However, this effort did not last long.

“I opened a food stall but didn't get a positive response from consumers. “Finally the food stall closed,” said Kurniasih's husband.
