Ten things that must be paid attention to when taking over and transferring restaurants

With the continuous development of the catering industry, more and more people begin to invest in the catering industry, and many people who want to start a catering business want to take over a "transfer shop" for convenience when they have not found a suitable location. This should be celebrated, but if you are not careful, you will fall into the trap when taking over the "transfer shop" and spend time and energy. Maybe. But if you can figure out the following questions when you take over the "transfer shop", the result may be different. Therefore, in order to protect your own interests, you must understand before taking over the restaurant: why did the original restaurant owner transfer it? Why is business bad? Is the location of the restaurant suitable for continuing to open the restaurant? How long is the rent? Has the local government made or imposed some restrictions on the restaurant (such as fire control rectification notice, environmental protection rectification notice, notice of relocation within a time limit)? If I take over, what measures will I take to promote the restaurant business? Payment of taxes and fees (sewage charges, front door health fees), etc.

1. Is it the landlord or the tenant who changed hands?

if the landlord rents out the space, then please ask the landlord to produce a valid property right certificate, and check the building area and structure of the house according to the property right certificate, so as to avoid the false from the true. If the tenant transfers the catering, he must ask the landlord to come forward to discuss with him, and make it clear what is the landlord's and what is the tenant's. The three parties will count it face to face, issue written credentials and sign it before we can go further.

2. Is there a restaurant in this place?

don't just listen to the "transferor" unilaterally. If possible, you should go to the departments of real estate, fire protection, public security, environmental protection, streets and so on. In addition, the attitude of the people around the restaurant to the restaurant management is very important. On the one hand, the surrounding people are prospective consumers in the future and should not be ignored; On the other hand, people's awareness of environmental protection and rights protection is very strong now. People are dissatisfied, and petitions, lawsuits, door-to-door arguments, and media exposure may all appear.

3. Does the "transfer shop" have any problems left over from history?

you should personally go to the water supply company, electric power bureau, environmental protection bureau, gas company, heating company and other units to learn about the payment of water, electricity, environmental protection, gas and heating fees. If the payment has not been paid, please ask the person who changed hands to pay the rest, show the payment invoice, copy it and keep it properly after checking it. No matter where you stop, you can't do business.

4. Does the "transfer shop" have any record of violation of laws and regulations?

personally go to the industrial and commercial administration department and the tax department to find out whether the industrial and commercial management fee and the tax payable have been paid, and whether there is a fine. If there is any, please ask the transferor to pay it in the relevant department, copy the relevant bills and keep them properly. Industrial and commercial management fees and taxes payable are compulsory items imposed by the state. If they are not paid in full, they may face corresponding penalties such as invalid business license, suspension of business license and fines.

5. Did the store have any economic disputes with its former employees?

it is necessary to contact the units and personnel related to catering in the past, inform about the rental and sale of catering, find out the salary, loan, guarantee, mortgage, accounts payable and economic disputes of catering as much as possible, distinguish responsibilities and avoid disputes in future operations. Because when transferring the hotel, many employees "transfer" together, so we must distinguish the accounts.

6. Be sure to make it clear whether the contract is signed with the landlord or the transferor.

whether the contract category is a contract or a lease contract. From the perspective of distinguishing responsibilities, the legal subject of the contract should choose the landlord, and the category of the contract is the lease contract.

7. When signing the contract, be sure to invite the landlord to be present.

after the booming restaurant business, there are countless economic disputes caused by the landlord's remorse, and the most common thing is to look for flaws in the contract. If the landlord is wily and leaves a foreshadowing when signing the contract, then the business will be "crisis". The landlord of the restaurant hates it when others borrow his house to make money, and he wants to keep all the profits for himself, so he must pay attention.

8. Make sure that the signed contract is complete and valid.

When signing a contract, you can consult a professional lawyer or find some books about the content of the Contract Law. Spending a little more money in these places will save a lot of trouble in future operations.

9. The transfer fee shall be paid after the contract is signed and all keys are handed over clearly.

Pay the transfer fee sooner rather than later, and leave yourself more time to avoid regret. The money is in your own hands, and the initiative is in your own hands. If you are not satisfied with this house, you can look elsewhere. Don't be fooled by the rhetoric of individual homeowners. After all, he is the direct beneficiary of the rented restaurant.

11. change the lock immediately on the day of taking over.

it is necessary to have the heart to harm others and the heart to prevent others. The key to the restaurant has been handled by many people. The restaurant key is also the first door post of restaurant safety. To be on the safe side, changing the lock is the first priority. Otherwise, after one night, the store will be empty. This kind of thing is not uncommon in restaurants.

Proverbs:

(1) When you decide to take over, the first thing is the rent. You should make an agreement with the original landlord who holds the legal real estate license to determine the next rent and your business. Otherwise, you have just taken over for one or two months, and the rent expires, and the original landlord says that the rent will not be rented or the rent will increase greatly, so you will suffer.

(2) After the rent problem is settled, you have to sign an agreement with the original restaurant owner, but you can't pay immediately, because you have to go to the health supervision office in your jurisdiction to apply for a new health permit. Because you just took over, letting him do it together can save a lot of things.

(3) You can only pay off all the transfer money of the restaurant after passing the hygiene license. Because, with the health permit, it is easier to apply for a business license.

(4) In the process of restaurant transfer, it is also important to know the original owner-purchase channels, major customers, regular customers and social relations that can be used in business. The more you know, the better it will be for your future business, and the more helpful it will be for your successful takeover and successful business.
