Hard clothes and soft clothes: it is to decorate the house. Generally, old houses make great efforts. For example, the floor is very old, and the ceiling and wall of the bathroom have to be demolished and repainted. Therefore, the cost of hard loading is also very high. It is not recommended to find a house in the old community, and the landlord of the new house is not willing to move out, so finding a house is also a big deal.
2. Accessories
Bedding, pillowcases, bed sheets, slippers, cups, clothes hangers, paper towels, toiletries, toothbrushes, toothpaste, first aid kits, condiments, etc. They are all consumables, so it is recommended to buy less and buy more. If the warehouse purchases a large amount once a year, it will increase the upfront input cost.
Step 3: Location
Location is very important, and a good location determines whether your homestay can survive. Try to be close to the scenic spots and the city center, because the tourist flow is concentrated between them. Of course, the competition is fierce. If we can have our own characteristics, there will be business in remote places. The surrounding facilities are complete, and shopping malls, supermarkets, convenience stores, pedestrian streets, restaurants, hospitals and banks can meet the demand.
4. Service
B&B is operated to serve consumers. Once people's consumption habits are formed, it is difficult to change them. Therefore, when positioning the target consumer groups, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth investigation on consumers' consumption demand, consumption habits and consumption characteristics. For example, traveling with children requires safety facilities such as baby monitors, and couples like romantic rooms when traveling.
5. Features
Analyze your own characteristics and advantages and turn your own characteristics into the characteristics of the hotel. For example, if you like photography, you can be a homestay with a photography theme. Photography can be subdivided into landscape photography, figure photography, pet photography and so on. Or if you are good at food, you can make a gourmet-themed homestay so that guests can taste different foods. You cooked all these foods yourself. This is where you are different from other homestays and where you create your own brand.
6. Time
Generally, it takes about half a year to return to the capital, and then gradually make a profit, mainly depending on two data: tourist price and occupancy rate. You need to calculate the occupancy rate at a certain unit price in order to get a profit. Business hours are flexibly adjusted according to holidays, peak season and off-season.
7. Procedures
If you want to start a homestay legally, you need to apply for six certificates: hygiene license, business license, tax registration certificate, special trade license, fire control audit opinion, food circulation license and catering service license.
Step 8 decorate
Decoration design can be carried out at the same time as handling the documents. It should be noted that after the design drawings come out, they can pass the audit of the local fire department and meet the fire protection standards before renovation. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome for you to find unqualified products after installation. If the documents are not uniform, it is illegal to operate and must strictly abide by the law. Never try to stand on the edge of the law.
