I went through such a long drawn out process before opening my own restaurant that at one point, I thought it was never going to happen! In retrospect, opening a restaurant boils down to 6 factors – significance, location, equipment, hiring, operations and advertising. Looking to run your restaurant like a successful entrepreneur? This article is for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1. Starting from Scratch?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
You will need to find a wholesale food supplier that will meet all of your needs – ingredients, paper towels, toilet paper, soap and all other essentials. Bulk purchases are cheaper and reduces shipping time as well. Or if you are looking into purchasing a franchise, <\/span>Franchise Opportunities<\/a><\/span> is the perfect search engine for you. Just make sure to have your investment value and selected industry in mind before investing.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

2. Where Are the Kids Hanging Out At Nowadays?<\/span><\/h2>\n
When searching for a location for your restaurant, focus on high-traffic areas such as central business districts or shopping capitals. In such areas, you would not have to worry about a lack of customers as long as you are serving good food.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However, it is also important to consider the demographics you want to target. If your food is on the pricer side, set up store in a more affluent neighbourhood and vice versa. And if your food is extremely instagrammable, why not try your luck competing with other hipster cafes by setting up in a young and vibrant area?<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

3. What Else Do I Need To Get?<\/span><\/h2>\n

[restrict]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To store all your ingredients<\/b><\/span>: freezers, refrigeration units and a walk-in freezer. Walk in refrigerators are a blessing as they leftover food after closing time besides storing the meats.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To transform those ingredients into delicious meals: <\/b><\/span>ovens, stoves, ranges, fryers, steam tables, cutting boards, safety gloves and cookware. Complete this dining experience with menus and utensils.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To make that money: <\/b><\/span>The POS system! The point-of-sale system is basically your cash register and screen that enables staff to fill in orders.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

4. How Do I Hire? How Do I Train?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
It is important to start out with a general manager. This guy will help you manage all part-time staff. Begin operations by testing the ground with a small group of waiters and waitresses and expand the group when you see fit based on restaurant and crowd size.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It helps to hire people that have restaurant service background but it is also possible to train newbies that are already naturally friendly to become more hospitable.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Above all, set standards for cleanliness such as when the restaurant needs to be cleaned and how.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

5. How Do I Get My Restaurant Out There?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Advertise. Celebrate your grand opening by adorning your restaurant with balloons and a large banner. Treat your customers to cheaper meals so that they can get hooked onto your dishes. \u00a0Remember to set up a Facebook and Instagram page to engage with the community and remind them of how delicious your food is.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Actionable Takeaway:<\/p>\n

Being an entrepreneur can sometimes be a lonely journey. Having a support system is vital for survival when being a small business owners. Create an account and join and connect with the hundreds of other business owners on SKALE.<\/p>\n
