Getting Started With A Restaurant Business
"The following are some tips to consider when starting up a restaurant business
. For starters, develop a business plan. Your plan should incorporate your mission, vision, goals and objectives and your ways to be able to realize these goals.Try to come up with ways on how you are going to finance for the furniture, equipment, and over-all furnishing. It could be possible that a bank loan is needed. Unless perhaps you just inherited a considerable sum of money, the financing has to come from an outside source. Once you get a loan, then you will have accounts payable to consider. If a short term accounts payable is utilized it will take as long as the operation cycle of the business or to be exact 12 months. Long term accounts payable, however, would take about 2 years or more.
Another thing that is very important is the location. Location can either make it or break it. Depending on your target customers, sometimes the location would depend on this. If your business is targeting the rich and the affluent, then your restaurant should be located in a posh area of the city. If your target customers are students, then your location should be near the university belts. Sometimes accessibility wouldn't matter to this kind of business' location because if the food and service is good, people would flock to your restaurant wherever it is located.
Another very important consideration is the ambiance. This is where the design would come in. It would depend on your target customer. Theme restaurants are very in nowadays and a lot of businessmen have come up with a lot of crazy concepts. Among the many theme restaurants that I have seen, the zanies were created by the Japanese.
There was one theme they came up with which was a toilet theme. The food was being served in bowls shaped like water closets and the chairs themselves were actual water closets. Another theme restaurant that got their idea from a hospital. Each table had hangers on each corner because the drinks were being served in dextrose bags and the diners sipped these drinks from the hoses.
You can give it to the Japanese to come up with madcap ideas like these. These types of restaurants bank on curiosity. The consumers go to these restaurants because they are curious. The restaurant achieves a museum status where tourists are drawn to.
Maybe culture has also something to do with it because the theme restaurants in the US are limited to celebrity appeal such as Planet Hollywood and Fashion Cafe.
