Biryani Stall

Last week I was shopping for some camping equipment in town and happened to see a long and well-ordered Q just outside a coffee shop. I realized this was the queue of a Biryani stall inside the coffee shop.
What surprised me was that the stall was located just beside the rubbish chute area.
I understand that the stall was relocated to the current site in around 1985. The sons took over the stall from their father in around 2002 and turned it into a well-known stall in town. 
The Biryani is available for sale at around 1030hrs and is usually sold out by 1330hrs. Usually it takes about 20mins to Q for the food. The stall does not seem to have have a signboard nor a sales counter. Note that the stall window(boarded up) is actually facing the rubbish chute area as seen in the photo. 
So what makes this Biryani so special that result in incessant crowd each day? Is it because they increase the portion and spice or having secret receipe in the curry? Let us look at the surroundings:

Due to the crowd it is not convenient for me to take a picture of the stall. But anyway the surroundings have explained everything.This is a typical example of Receiving Qi (纳气). One may be thinking how does a stall WITHOUT a Door is able to receive Qi within the coffee shop?  If you think the stall is receiving the Qi through coffee shop main door then why other stalls are less performing? Door is important and there are few aspects of considerations: Facing and Position. However, these are not the deciding factor for a site's auspiciousness. How many prosperous shops that have their doors tilted? If Feng Shui is just about Door then Yang Gong does not need to spend his life time looking at Ci Xiong (杨公养老看雌雄)。。。
Think about it
