Let me give you some suggestions from the customer's point of view.
First, the taste
The taste must be good, and it is best to be authentic. Now that I have decided to open a Japanese food store, I hope the taste will be authentic, not an improved version of Japanese food. The improved food is not worth trying a second time for customers. If you want to improve it, you might as well open a Chinese restaurant directly.
If you have a chance, I hope you can go to Japan, taste the special Japanese food, see which dishes are acceptable in China according to your taste, and then just focus on these dishes.
the price may not be too cheap, but it should not be too expensive. If it is too expensive, it will be difficult for you to recover your cost in the early stage. After all, Japanese food stores that are not popular are difficult to operate at first.
Second, the environment
The environment is best not to be too noisy, and it can give everyone a quiet and chatty environment. The decoration style can refer to the sauce in My First Half Life and the Japanese Midnight Food Store.
Never sell beer or white wine, which makes people start to make noise when they drink too much. It's also good to have some Japanese wine.
Third, the location
It is best not to be too biased, and it must be convenient for customers. After all, no one wants to spend two hours to eat a meal, and it's not easy to find if it's too partial, which will make people's impression of the store less.
even if it tastes good, I have a bad impression at the first time, so I really won't mainly consider your store in the future.
Fourth, the promotion in the early stage
The promotion must be strong, or even if you know this store, everyone will not take the initiative to go in, because it is different from Chinese restaurants. After the opening of a Chinese restaurant, everyone will know what to eat when they go in. If it is a Japanese food store, people will be afraid that the consumption level after going in will exceed their imagination or they will find that they don't like to eat after going in.
it will be embarrassing to come out directly, so people will choose not to go in directly. So be sure to promote it and let everyone know what's inside and the price.
