Conducive to the integration of various resources
Management is more formal
Daily management is easier.
As the saying goes, "One Zhuge Liang is worth three heads are better than two stooges". After comprehensive selection of partners, the daily management of the partnership can be much easier. Partners develop their specialties and skills, just like the clever cooperation of many actors in a good play, which can not only further improve the management level of the enterprise, but also make the development prospect of the enterprise broader and better.
Ensure more sources of funds.
In addition, partnerships can guarantee more sources of funds. Because everyone's funds are limited, just like a bowl full of water, no matter how full it is, it is just a bowl of water. If several people are in partnership, it is like two bowls of water. Two bowls together are always more than one bowl of water. With sufficient sources of funds, the scale, grade and grade of an enterprise will naturally have corresponding development potential, and more things can be done. Therefore, the partnership financing method can be said to be the best way for small and medium-sized catering enterprises to expand their operations and give full play to their potential.
There is no conflict between them.
Several people are better in partnership. There are contributions and contributions. In the daily operation and management, partners have their own emphases, and there are relatively few conflicts. As long as the partners are of good character and honest with each other, other things will be much easier to discuss.
Favorable resource integration
Running a restaurant together has many advantages over starting a business alone. Usually, in addition to more sources of funds, resources can be better integrated. These include the mutual utilization of social relations, the mutual integration of cooking technology and management know-how, the mutual supplement of production equipment and so on. As long as there are appropriate treatment methods, the integration of these resources can promote the rapid start and development of enterprises.
Management is more formal
When several people open a shop in partnership, they can supervise each other in daily management, which not only fully promotes democracy, but also restricts each other.
This can prevent one person from acting arbitrarily, make it easier to implement standardized management, and lay an important foundation for the development of the cause.
Against: The disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
Reasons for support:
There are obvious shortcomings.
Unlimited debt
The life of an enterprise is limited.
Decentralization of management rights
It's easy to part ways.
Good companions are hard to find.
Full mental preparation
Of course, the shortcomings of partnership also exist and are quite obvious. This requires every restaurant operator to have enough understanding and mental preparation for the disadvantages of partnership. Because for a business operator who has a long-term plan, he should guard against any influence.
Unlimited debt
The partnership has unlimited debts. Compared with the sole proprietorship, this kind of debt will have a more lasting and greater impact on the owners. Partners are obligated to pay debts from the date they join the cooperative. Similarly, partners should not only repay their own debts, but also be responsible for repaying the debts of other partners within the scope of all their property. Taking unlimited liability is a very serious risk for every partner.
Enterprise life is limited.
There is still a time limit for partnership. The so-called finiteness of enterprise existence time refers to the finiteness of enterprise life. Because the form of partnership is that several partners jointly contribute to run the enterprise, the behavior of each partner will have an impact on the enterprise, and the death or bankruptcy of any partner will lead to the demise of the partnership.
Commercial power is easily dispersed.
The power of partnership is decentralized. Due to the participation of partners, the management right of enterprises must be decentralized. Related enterprise policies, capital planning, personnel management and development planning will all change. Power is scattered among partners, and differences of opinion are reflected.
It is difficult to unify the development ideas.
Readers who have experienced partnership have expressed their views: if there is a problem in opening a store in partnership, it is more likely to lead to a breakup and even ruin the friendship for many years. The reader said that he only stumbled in this respect. Although the friendship remains the same, friends and partners of seven years have become strangers since then. The factors that easily lead to parting ways are generally because the development ideas of the two are inconsistent, or the business policies and other things are inconsistent in the general direction. Don't agree or disagree.
Good companions are hard to find.
It doesn't matter if two people open a restaurant in partnership. The key is that they share the same interests and can give full play to their respective strengths. However, it is really difficult to choose a good partner, often with less success and more failure. If you can't find a good partner, you might as well go it alone.

Review partner conditions
It is very important to sign an agreement if you plan to open a store in partnership. If handled well, disputes can be avoided well. The establishment of a partnership enterprise shall meet the following conditions:
1. There are two or more partners, all of whom bear unlimited liability according to law; 2. There is a written partnership agreement; 3. The amount of capital contribution actually paid by each partner; 4. The name of the partnership; 5. Having business premises and necessary conditions for engaging in partnership operation.
Matters to be agreed in the partnership agreement
1, the name of the partnership and the location of its main business place; 2. The purpose of the partnership and the business scope of the partnership; 3. Name and domicile of the partner; 4. The mode, amount and time limit of capital contribution of partners; Measures for profit distribution and loss sharing; 6. Carry out partnership affairs; 7. Occupational and annealing related matters; 8. Dissolution and liquidation of the partnership; 9. The liability for breach of contract should be clearly defined.
The partnership agreement may stipulate the term of operation of the partnership enterprise and the dispute settlement method between the partners. The partnership agreement must be signed and sealed by all partners before it can take effect.
Open a public bank account.
There are good and bad things about opening a store in partnership. If you don't coordinate well, you may not even be friends. Of course, it is better to open a shop alone. However, if you need to open a store in partnership, it is best to have a corporate bank account before you plan to open a store, and deposit the funds you need to invest and operate into the bank according to the agreed agreement. Both sides know it.
Expenditure and income are well documented.
The use of funds must be transparent. In order to avoid future disputes, do a good job in the daily management of accounts, and try to make sure that the expenditure and income of money are well documented. Having evidence is also conducive to mutual supervision.
Clarify the content of division of labor and cooperation
The content of division of labor and cooperation between partners must be clear. Decide who should do what work, how to deal with problems through consultation, etc. Equity investment is only used as a standard for dividends. If two people discuss big and small issues, sometimes they will delay time and make things worse. Therefore, one person should be appointed to make decisions in daily chores, or everyone's power should be appropriately delegated. In case of major events, such as increasing shares and partners, all issues that may affect the store's major interests must be passed on the basis of consensus between the two parties. Otherwise, it will easily affect the interests of the disadvantaged party.
Determine the profit share of operating income
How to divide the profits in operating income should also be clarified. These must be settled before opening. The rest can only be done. The most important thing is that two people understand and trust each other.
It is safe to have an odd number of partners.
The number of partnerships is also very particular. Only three or odd partners can be safe, so that partners can supervise each other. Of course, this should also take into account the capital contribution. Enterprises speak with funds. When the number of people is secondary, the allocation of funds is very important. If you have an absolute advantage, of course, the enterprise depends on you.
Communication is the most important.
First of all, partners should have firm beliefs and unite as one. If two people always haggle over every ounce, or care who does more and who takes more, it is doomed to have no happy ending. This store must be the first one in the initial stage. Only through more communication can we truly unite.
