Small items mainly refer to hardware: stainless steel bowls and basins, chopping boards, spatulas, etc. The place of purchase is in ceramic market and specialty store.
Tableware for customers: you can go to the ceramic market or specialty store. If the restaurant has a high positioning and is good at characteristics, you can customize the dishes and chopsticks that meet the characteristics. If it is a stall-style small restaurant, in order to save the upfront investment as much as possible, some people will buy second-hand goods. Some big hotels often change their bowls and chopsticks. These changed bowls and chopsticks were taken to some small restaurants, and the goods looked good. Some shopkeepers will contact these hotels in advance and can buy them at a very low price.
People who have never worked in the catering industry usually find a chef who is responsible for guiding the procurement of equipment. This is very important, because there are many kitchen equipments on the market. Some kitchen equipment looks very useful, but it is not very useful. An experienced chef knows best what equipment to use.
Another thing to note is that some stores are equipped with kitchen equipment when they are built. Such equipment is not designed and equipped according to the restaurant you want to open. If you rent it, you will often spend a lot of money.
Sublet hotels can sometimes omit this purchase procedure, but many times when they actually run, they will find that some equipment is useless and can only be decided by professionals. Otherwise, we have to throw away the old equipment and pay a large sublease fee for nothing.
If you want to save more money on buying three big items, one way is to go to the flea market on Shaoxing Road in Hangzhou, which depends on luck. Sometimes there are complete sets of kitchen equipment here, some in stock and some second-hand. Another way is to find the kitchen equipment manufacturer directly. At present, many kitchen equipment manufacturers recycle some old hotel equipment while selling new goods. By buying these second-hand goods, they save two-thirds of the money compared with buying brand-new equipment.
Step 6: Buy raw materials.
After opening the store, the boss grasped the purchase the most tightly. In many small restaurants, the boss also serves as a buyer and cashier, which also ensures the entry and exit of money. Even if you can't do it yourself, find a close friend to do these two jobs.
Drinks and seasonings:
Method 1: Go to the food market and supermarket to buy it yourself. There is more freedom of choice, because sometimes you can choose some cheaper prices for cash settlement.
Method 2: Let professional companies directly contract, which is the most common practice. All drinks and seasonings are contracted and supplied by a company, which is responsible for delivery at any time. One of the main reasons why bosses take a fancy to this method is that they can pay their bills. The general practice in the industry is to settle accounts one to two months after delivery. Professional companies also have a certain sales rebate, which depends on the difference in sales. If you add a sales rebate, the purchase cost will not be more expensive than going to the vegetable market and supermarket. The rebate rate ranges from 5% of sales to 12%, which depends on your own discussion with suppliers. Some restaurants don't take back the deduction, but ask the supplier for the entrance fee. Some insiders believe that this practice has many disadvantages, the interests between suppliers and restaurants cannot be tied together, and cooperation will not be as close as rebate sales.
The waiter is happy to accept the delivery from a professional company, because he can get the corkage fee, which is a commercial bribe stipulated by the industrial and commercial department. In a small restaurant with four or five salespeople, if the business is good, a waiter can collect seven or eight hundred bottles a month. In some big hotels, the waiter can't collect the corkage fee by himself, but in this small hotel, the boss will ask the waiter to collect the corkage fee directly, in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the waiter.
Ingredients for dishes:
Frozen shrimp, fish and other aquatic products, if you want to choose good quality aquatic products, you can go to large supermarkets, such as Metro and Trust-Mart. Fresh aquatic products are mostly purchased in Jinjiang agricultural and sideline products market and Nongdu aquatic products market. For a small shop, the daily consumption of vegetables is not large, and the owner will go directly to the nearest farmer's market to purchase goods. After a long time, the stall owner is relatively fixed, allowing the supplier to deliver the goods to the door. Some shopkeepers want to do business with regular stall owners, deliver goods to their homes and pay the bill. However, it is best for the boss to go to the market often in person, not only to replenish the goods, but also to look at the new raw materials on the market and understand the price.
Tips for buying small restaurants with food stalls: when the market goes down, you can buy some dishes at a very cheap price to take home for sorting, or a bunch of good raw materials.
Whether the raw materials are well purchased and the prices are cheap is very important for the operation of a restaurant. It is important to have professional knowledge. Some bosses don't know the quality of raw materials at first, so they have to take a chef as an assistant. Especially when buying seafood, experience is very important. For example, if different people buy the same amount of prawns, the price per kilogram may be different 10-20 yuan. People who are good at it can see that they can keep these for a few days after buying them back. Many restaurant purchasing veterans will buy a small amount of seafood near the end of their lives when purchasing seafood, because the price of this kind of seafood is two-thirds or more lower than the normal price. Buy it back as a promotional item and sell it to customers at a very cheap price. The result is often happy, which is also a business trick.
In fact, there are many restaurants with various flavors in Hangzhou. How to make them authentic? Everyone began to open competition in raw materials, not only to see whose approach is authentic, but also to see whether the raw materials are authentic. Most of the raw materials of well-made shops are directly purchased from local areas, which is especially common in some restaurants specializing in local flavor in Zhejiang, not only because of convenient transportation, but also because the procurement cost is cheaper than that in Hangzhou! Small restaurants that don't use a lot of raw materials every day may wish to refer to the following boss's practice.
In Yingshanhong Zhexi Flavor Restaurant, Mr. Li made an account like this: Except some ginger, pork and common condiments were purchased from Hangzhou, the raw materials in the restaurant, such as radish, lettuce, Chinese cabbage, onion, garlic, spinach, vegetables, taro and other common vegetables, were all purchased from the local countryside. These dishes are all grown from soil, fertilizer and water, with rich flavor and guaranteed quality. Buying directly from farmers is at least one-third cheaper than Hangzhou. For example, the purchase price of vegetables these days is from 1 yuan per kilogram to 1.2 yuan, and the Hangzhou market is at least above 2 yuan. Lettuce per kilogram 1.4 to 65438+. 0.6 yuan and Hangzhou markets now sell 2.4 yuan per kilogram. The wild vegetables cooked in the shop are also bought from farmers, and the purchase price of these vegetables is cheaper. Pteridium aquilinum per kilogram 1 yuan, lichen per kilogram 1 yuan. If you buy it in Hangzhou, the bracken should be at least above 2 yuan, and the lichen 3 yuan 1 kg. According to boss Li, these dishes were sent from my hometown every two days and brought by the bus to Hangzhou at 7: 40 in the morning. Generally, there are two woven bags at a time, one bag pays the freight of 10 yuan, and one person is responsible for purchasing. Even with the transportation fee and the buyer's salary, it can save more than 3000 yuan of raw material procurement cost every month. Asifa cake, a specialty of Longyou sold in the store, is also made by parents at home, so the cost is relatively low. A Fa cake can earn 3.5 yuan on average, and it can sell for 3500 yuan a month on average, half of which is takeaway.
Opening approval procedure
The above steps are only the basic operation steps in the operation. Be sure to remember that in these operational processes, the approval procedures to the functional departments are carried out at the same time! Moreover, it is best to apply for consultation in advance for some approval procedures, so as to avoid going the wrong way when opening a store and spending money.
Pre-approval is required to apply for opening a restaurant, that is, the industrial and commercial department must obtain a hygiene license and a pollution discharge permit from the environmental protection department before obtaining a business license.
Take the small restaurant opened by individual industrial and commercial households as an example. The specific process is as follows: first, take the original and copy of your ID card to the local industrial and commercial office to register your name. Remember that this is only a name registration, and it is not time to apply for an industrial and commercial business license. Because before obtaining the industrial and commercial license, you must first apply to the environmental protection department and the health supervision office within your jurisdiction for a sewage discharge permit and a health permit.
Application for pollutant discharge permit: firstly, apply to the permit office of the environmental protection bureau of the jurisdiction, and after acceptance, the staff will come to inspect and guide. The two necessary conditions for obtaining a sewage permit are: there can be no residential buildings upstairs; Sewage should be included in the municipal sewage pipeline. On-site inspectors will decide which range hood to install according to the size of the business area. I bought my own range hood or a range hood that has not been recognized by environmental protection. The staff of the accreditation office reminded that it is best to consult the environmental protection department before deciding whether to rent a store or decorate it. For example, some shopkeepers open stores for decoration, and the smoke outlet or kitchen window is just aimed at the residents behind. Even if the management department doesn't know for a while, the residents behind will still complain and often have to spend money to adjust.
Application for hygiene license: apply to the health supervision office within the jurisdiction for acceptance, and then let the restaurant staff have health examination and receive food hygiene knowledge training. On the premise of passing the inspection and training, it mainly depends on the following aspects: first, whether the sanitary facilities are complete, mainly referring to disinfection and cleaning facilities; The second is whether the area ratio of processing site and business site has been reached. The proportion requirements of restaurants in different locations will be different, so you need to consult in advance.
Industrial and commercial business license: after obtaining these two certificates, you can apply for industrial and commercial business license at the industrial and commercial office with these two certificates and the corresponding house lease certificate and ID card.
According to the regulations, you need to apply to the fire department for approval before opening, and you need to apply to your jurisdiction when decorating.
Tax registration: within 30 days from the date of obtaining the business license, you should apply to the local tax bureau for the local tax registration number. Bring a copy of the business license and a copy, as well as the operator's ID card. Small restaurants opened by individual industrial and commercial households have to pay 5% business tax. In addition, urban construction tax and education surcharge have to be paid. The tax amount is 1 1% of business tax, and other taxes account for a small share.
