For people who deal with food every day, they especially want to open a small restaurant of their own. On the surface, if you have a place, kitchen utensils and materials, you can cook for your guests. In fact, there are many things to do in opening a restaurant, such as how to purchase materials, how to configure equipment, and where to choose a restaurant, all of which need to be considered. If these things are not done well, the restaurant will definitely be unprofitable. So, what steps do you need to open a restaurant? Let's analyze the detailed steps of opening a restaurant in Bian Xiao. Step 1: Choose a restaurant location. Places with many office buildings and dense population are most suitable for opening restaurants, which can ensure the daily flow of people in restaurants. In fact, there are many channels to choose the location of restaurants. You can talk directly with landlords and developers through media advertisements and facade transfer. In short, the location of the restaurant should be chosen where the flow of people stops, otherwise few people come in for dinner. Step 2: After the restaurant product positioning is selected, it is necessary to start product positioning. Take the opening of a 300-square-meter restaurant as an example, it is generally decided to follow the popular trend of urban cuisine to cater to the tastes of many food lovers. At present, there are Jinhua casserole shop, Shipu seafood shop, Tonglu restaurant, Dongyang restaurant and Wenling restaurant. These specialty restaurants are so popular. By positioning, you can determine the name of the store and customize the menu. It is simple and clear to name the store directly with the special main course or place name. For example, "roast chicken", "boiling fish" and "Tonglu hometown dishes", or directly naming the shop after the place name, both of these effects are good. Step 3: After the store and location are determined, the decoration can be carried out. Nowadays, people who eat have higher and higher requirements for the restaurant environment. A good environment can sometimes be a key factor in the success or failure of opening a store. Moreover, the store environment does not mean that the more investment, the better. More about design. Sometimes designing a mud wall that reflects the positioning of Tujia cuisine with little money can attract customers. Decoration is a very complicated process. Restaurant decoration is different from ordinary family decoration, and it also involves professional issues such as environmental protection and fire protection. Please hire professionals during the decoration process. It's best to find a chef or someone with experience in restaurant management before the renovation begins. They can offer many suggestions. Step 4: the restaurant recruits people. Whether the restaurant is open well or not, talent is also a key link. The staff in the restaurant is divided into two parts, one is the chef, and the other is the waiter, who is responsible for kitchen production and front office service respectively. Take a 300-square-meter restaurant for example. The number of employees in the kitchen depends on the number of dishes. Generally, a dozen people are enough, including cooking, cutting vegetables (side dishes), serving dishes (chores) and washing vegetables. Of course, there are also some high-end restaurants and Chinese hotels, and the demand for personnel has doubled. If you are not good at recruiting people, you can contract it to others, or find a special catering company to take charge. Step 5: Customize the equipment. Kitchen equipment includes three major items and minor items: electrical appliances (mainly refrigerators), stoves and objective tables. 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. If you want to find some cheap equipment, you can go to the commodity market. There is also buying second-hand goods. For example, some big hotels often change their bowls and chopsticks, and these changed bowls and chopsticks are taken to some restaurants, and the goods are still very beautiful. Some shopkeepers will contact these hotels in advance and can buy them at a very low price. Step 6: Buy raw materials. The boss grasped the raw materials most firmly. In many restaurants, the boss also serves as a buyer and cashier to take care of the money in the restaurant. Even if he can't do it himself, he will find someone he can trust to do it. Usually, I go to the food market and supermarket to buy it myself.
