The first thing you should do to join the catering industry is market research. Whether the area where you want to open a restaurant has the opportunities you want, many franchisees will not do this, but ask the brand holder to complete it on their behalf. This matter should be cautious, because it involves the interests, many catering brands think that the transaction can be achieved, and in the market research, they finally come to the conclusion that they can "open a restaurant". It is more neutral to invite professional institutions in the market to investigate, and the cost is a small part for you to invest in a restaurant. Because the results of the investigation do not affect the interests of the research institutions, it is more credible. Of course, if you have the ability to inspect the business circle yourself, it is best.

The second part is to choose the catering categories you want to join. According to different categories, there are many, such as western food, Japanese food, Korean food and Chinese food. For example, the eight major Chinese cuisines, huaiyang cuisine, Guangdong, Sichuan, Hunan, Shandong, Fujian and Anhui, can also be divided into breakfast shops and dinner shops, and then can be divided into high-end restaurants and middle and low-end restaurants according to prices. There are still many classifications, and this part should correspond to the first one, because the market survey results of the first one can correspond to the relative catering that can be opened, so as to achieve the greatest success.

in the third part, after determining the category, we need to investigate which catering brands are available in the market. This part is also very important. First, we need to investigate the integrity of catering brands. Integrity is a gateway. If this gateway is not well grasped, there will be a lot of troubles in the follow-up, and you will not see many invisible losses. Then there is popularity and market share. Basically, after these factors are determined to be no problem, we will start to contact the brand and discuss the joining matters.

the fourth part, the franchise contract, is very important, and the franchise contract must be thoroughly understood word by word, because the franchise contract is a framework, which determines many things, and once it is signed, it cannot be changed. If you are not professional, you can ask a lawyer to complete it. The cost is also very small for investing in a restaurant. At least there is a guarantee. ? There is a part to talk about here, that is, the management rules should be carefully examined. Some brands are fully responsible, that is, franchisees pay money, and you can't see other operational processes at all, let alone intervene in management, that is, there are many black boxes, so you should pay special attention. Some brands just provide all services, and the management is completed by franchisees themselves. This should also be paid attention to, because as a layman who doesn't understand catering operations, his own management is likely to be screwed up. Therefore, the best role as a franchisee is to supervise, not to intervene in the normal management of restaurants. The fifth part is finance. Some brands are very transparent, so you don't have to worry about it. For example, KFC, the purchase price and sales price of all its materials can be checked at any time, and it is quite uniform, so you don't have to worry about it, but some of them are not standardized, so you should pay special attention to it. It is very likely that your profits will be eaten or taken away here. Therefore, we should pay special attention to this aspect of finance. After all, there are few restaurants like KFC, which does not mean that you can join by joining.

finally, you have handled all the previous parts. The restaurant is open. You must get along well with the brand team. If you have the resources, try to drain the store yourself. Of course, there are other things you can deal with, such as filing tax returns, applying for business licenses, dealing with fire fighting, etc. But I think these are small things, there are fixed procedures, so don't pay too much attention, but you should be very, very careful about the above five points. Posted on March 29, 2121 at 13: 13, I agree to add comments and share collections. I like to put away more answers. It is hard to buy a prophet before you know it! Due to the low entry barrier of the industry itself, many operators are willing to invest a large sum of joining fees in hot pot franchise stores, only because the raw material distribution, mature operation mode and successful experience of opening stores of franchise brands can be directly used for reference, which greatly improves the success rate of hot pot restaurants. However, operators who open franchise stores should pay attention to the fact that although a good hot pot brand can greatly increase the possibility of opening a store, it may not be successful. After all, the direct stores of hot pot brands will also encounter the possibility of bankruptcy. Therefore, don't blindly hope for the brand effect, but ignore your own flexible management according to local conditions.
