hello. I run several western-style bars in Shanghai and Japan.
I don't need to say that you should be responsible for the investment, and you should also expect the risk.
I personally see the pros and cons of catering investment.
profit: the investment can be large or small. It can bring you a powerful frequency channel and increase your personal connections, which will be helpful to your other careers.
if cooked well, you can have an old rice to eat.
Disadvantages: the profit margin is low (the net profit of a normally profitable restaurant is 21-31% of the turnover)
Force majeure factors are many, the turnover of people is unstable, professional knowledge is needed, business licenses and other health permits are cumbersome
You need to deal with health bureaus, fire departments, industry and commerce (traffic cards, you know)
and so on.
actually, if you don't like it very much, you'd better not cook. And if you don't have some professional knowledge, you'd better not do it. Please invite a good cook, who will also be the uncle. But also for health, urban management, industry and commerce. The result is still working for the landlord.
if you cook, you will always earn hard money. If you want to make a lot of money in catering, you must create a good program and open a chain. This is also very hard and difficult.
maybe I talk more negatively, but I watch too much. Please refer to it if you think it's okay. I hope you can succeed.
