The latest policy stipulates that the operating area of a restaurant store should be changed from a minimum of 50 square meters to a minimum of 80 square meters, which means that a restaurant store with an operating area of less than 80 square meters will no longer be accepted for approval. Regarding the policy, there is no change other than this latest adjustment.
The starting point of this policy is to take into account the fact that some food and beverage outlets with too small of an operating area are unable to utilize the necessary sanitary facilities due to the limited size of the premises, resulting in substandard food and beverage hygiene. It seems that food hygiene is highly valued by the people of Beijing and the relevant authorities, so if you are going to open a restaurant, then you should definitely put more effort into meeting the hygiene standards.
Assuming a minimum standard of 80 square meters, a small or medium-sized restaurant should have at least 100,000 to 200,000 yuan of capital for all kinds of expenses at the beginning. Of course, the fact that this cost is very difficult to calculate in detail, because it needs to take into account your main content, business location, the degree of decoration, human capital and so on a variety of aspects of the factors. For example, you just want to sell a cold skin and hot and sour noodles and so on, then 20,000 dollars is enough, but if you want to think of a classy restaurant, then it may be more than 200,000 dollars. So, the cost will also need to be at your own discretion depending on the size of your business.
