Snacks are not as demanding on business premises as some catering enterprises. Snacks are not only varied and cheap, but also close to the daily life of ordinary people. Not only is there no restriction on operating conditions, even if your snack bar brand is completed, the income will be high. Therefore, our entrepreneurial thinking today is how to open and manage a snack bar well.
The first step in opening a snack bar: choosing a store.
Two places are the best choice.
First, there are many office buildings in the company, and second, there are crowded places. Choosing a place with more office buildings can ensure the business at noon. This can ensure the benign operation of the day.
There are many channels for choosing a store. You can talk to the landlord through media advertisements, pre-store resale advertisements, or directly find a newly developed house. Another way is to contact the store directly after choosing the general location, no matter what the other party is doing now. Although this method is tired, it works well.
Don't think that places with many shops are not suitable for entry. If there are many small restaurants in a street, it will cause a chain reaction of business prosperity, and business is easier to do than doing it alone. The key is to distinguish so many stores from other stores.
Be careful about subletting the store.
It is almost an open secret in the catering industry to earn part of the subletting fee by subletting. Therefore, newcomers must be cautious when subletting other people's stores.
Pay attention to some traps when subletting storefronts:
First, because the sublessor has encountered a road demolition project, he can't go on, and only wants to recover part of the upfront investment through subletting.
Therefore, when looking for a store, you must first carefully ask the nearby stores, preferably to the planning, housing management or industrial and commercial departments. If a place is to be demolished, it will generally notify the local industrial and commercial office.
Second, the original restaurant was limited in sewage discharge and fire fighting, and was required by the relevant departments to stop operating, but the lessee did not know the inside story. After paying all the subletting fees, I found it impossible to open a shop here. This situation is most common in the downstairs of residential buildings.
Third, if the other party cannot provide the real estate license after renting, the industrial and commercial office will not give the business license in this case.
The fourth situation is that the other party sublets the store after the business is booming, just to earn the cost of subletting. After taking over, I found that this store has been in recession, and it is difficult to make it prosperous again.
If a storefront sublets one after another in a short time, it must also be very careful.
Mainly refers to the kind of storefront that has changed hands many times and is difficult to do well. Sometimes, this storefront seems to have many good functions, but some hidden weaknesses are hard to find.
For example, although it is located in the city center with a large flow of people, there are also many business buildings on the side. However, there may be problems such as inconvenient parking and inconvenient access. And the result may be that business is not doing well.
The second step of opening a snack bar: product positioning
After selecting the facade, we will start the product positioning. Take opening a 300-square-meter hotel as an example. A safer way is to follow the food trends in a city.
For example, casserole was very popular three years ago. A casserole shop of more than 300 square meters can do business of 654.38+0 million a day. Gross profit can reach 50% and net profit 30%-35%.
If it is a special restaurant outside the province, it is difficult to purchase, and it is difficult to make the raw materials completely authentic. 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.
The third step of opening a snack bar: decoration
After determining the storefront and positioning, you can decorate it. The consumer demand of customers is rising, and the status of storefront environment in restaurants is becoming higher and higher. A good environment can sometimes be a key factor in the success or failure of opening a store.
What's the store environment like? It's not that the more you invest, the better. It is more about design. Sometimes designing a mud wall that reflects the positioning of Tujia cuisine with little money can attract customers.
The fourth step of opening a snack bar: employees
Employees are also the key to the success of the restaurant. The staff of the small restaurant is divided into two parts, one is the chef and the other is the waiter, who are responsible for kitchen production and front office service respectively.
There are four common ways to find a chef: First, the boss orders food directly. This method is mainly suitable for small restaurants. The boss goes to a restaurant similar to his position. If he thinks the food tastes better, he tries to dig people directly in this shop.
The advantage of chefs is that the boss can understand the skills of each chef and maximize their respective values.
The fifth step of opening a snack bar: customize the equipment
Kitchen equipment includes three kinds of items in the kitchen: electrical appliances (mainly refrigerators), cookers and objective tables. Small items mainly refer to hardware: stainless steel bowls and basins, chopping boards, spatulas, etc.
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.
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.
The sixth step of opening a snack bar: buying 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.
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.
Step 7 of opening a snack bar: the approval procedure for opening a shop
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 individual industrial and commercial households opening characteristic small restaurants 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.
Before deciding whether to rent a store or decorate it, it is best to consult the environmental protection department. 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.
