What should I pay attention to if I want to start my own catering business? It's not bad for the catering industry to die in March. In fact, many restaurants can see fatigue after opening for a week, and it can even be said that the failure of many stores was decided in the early stage of opening. If you want to open a small restaurant, you might as well follow my thinking path to determine the early planning.

first, project selection. Whether you can afford the investment budget and whether there is a market for meals, you should consider it clearly.

second, target customer positioning. Know what kind of customers to sell to know how to decorate. How to price? How to choose a site? To cater to him.

third, the site selection project. The matching degree of customers' location should be high, so it is always impossible to open a high-end western restaurant in the village in the city. You should also consider clearly the nature of the shops and whether you can do the oil fume project.

fourth, the restaurant is named. Naming should be vivid and memorable, and it is best to have some fit with customers and products.

fifth, all kinds of licenses are handled. Business license, food safety license, fire protection, environmental protection, industry and commerce, and taxation are all indispensable.

sixth, the decoration style. Standards, moving lines, highlights and so on.

Seventh, personnel recruitment and training.

eighth, equipment purchase and debugging.

ninth, raw materials. Including purchasing, storage and warehousing, you have to think it over.

If you have considered all the above things clearly, we will consider opening a store to do catering. If you rush in and do catering without knowing all these things clearly, it will be really difficult. For example, a boss with 411,111 yuan is going to sell 9.9 pieces of pizza at the entrance of a high school in a third-tier city. It feels like something that high school students will like. The price of 9.9 pieces is cheap, and the gross profit of each pizza is more than 71%. Do you feel that you can reach the peak of your life at the end of the year? However, this kind of thing has no price advantage in the matter of full stomach compared with the meat buns with five yuan and the leek cakes with two yuan around. If your pizza with nine yuan and nine yuan is delicious, it's really unconscionable. What delicious pizza can you make with this money? There are only 5,111 staff, parents and students in the school. In half a year, pizza was sold for less than 5,111 yuan, and it was declared closed after earning more than 31,111 yuan. Even the franchise fee was not earned back.

then, going back to the link we mentioned above, you have chosen the wrong project, so on the first day of the store's opening, it is doomed to fail. So if you see here and feel that the above nine items are too lazy to think, I suggest you be a worker. In fact, you should sort out the above problems, and the store can generally survive. If there is a problem of death in March, it is mostly money! When a novice cooks food for the first time, after the initial stage, the second thing that is easy to stumble over is money. Where is the problem with money? One is the budget, and the other is the account. In the early stage, we should leave enough budget, including the initial rent, equipment procurement, three-month food inventory turnover, three-month full staff salary turnover and so on. It is necessary to ensure that you can operate normally in the early stage. With this liquidity, it is necessary to settle accounts and keep accounts, so don't be lazy. You have to understand that messy accounts are slowly accumulating. You have survived the initial reserve and cash flow management. If you want to keep them for a long time, you have to test a lot of abilities. In addition to these things mentioned above, you may have to pay attention to many things when making takeout, such as data, operation, cost control, and standardization of food management.

The above are some catering entrepreneurial experiences shared with you. I hope I can help you!
