Kitchen equipment includes three major items and small items in the kitchen: electrical appliances (mainly refrigerators), stoves and loading tables. Recommended places of purchase by senior chefs: Hangzhou Ceramics Market and specialty store on Qiutao Road.
Small items mainly refer to hardware: stainless steel bowls and basins, chopping boards, spatulas, etc. Buy the dishes and chopsticks used by customers in the ceramics market and specialty store
: you can go to the ceramics market and specialty store. If the restaurant has a high positioning and is good at its characteristics, you can customize the dishes and chopsticks that match the characteristics. If it is a stall-type small restaurant, some people will buy second-hand goods in order to save the initial investment as much as possible. Some big hotels often change their bowls and chopsticks. These changed bowls and chopsticks are taken to some small restaurants, and the goods still look good. Some shopkeepers will contact these hotels in advance and can buy them at a very low price.
for people who have never worked in the catering industry, the chef is usually responsible for guiding the equipment procurement after finding the chef. This is very important, because there are many kitchen equipments in the market. Some kitchen equipments look useful, but they are not very useful. Experienced chefs know best what equipment to use.
another thing to note is that some storefronts are equipped with kitchen equipment when they are built. Such equipment is not designed and equipped according to the restaurant you want to open, so renting it often costs a lot of money for nothing.
sublet hotels can sometimes dispense with this purchase procedure, but in many cases, when they are actually put into operation, they will find that some equipment can't be used, so they have to invite professionals to see them before making a decision. Otherwise, we have to throw away the old equipment and pay a large sublease fee for nothing.
If you want to save more money on buying three big items, one way is to go to the second-hand market on Shaoxing Road in Hangzhou, which depends on luck. Sometimes there are complete sets of kitchen equipment here, some are in stock and some are second-hand. Another way is to find kitchen equipment manufacturers directly. At present, many kitchen equipment manufacturers recycle some old hotel equipment while selling new goods. Buying these second-hand goods through them saves two-thirds of the money compared with buying brand-new equipment.
Step 6: Purchasing raw materials
After the small shop opened, the boss grasped the purchasing link most firmly. In many small restaurants, the boss also served as the buyer and cashier, which ensured that the money flowed in and out. Even if you can't do it yourself, you should find a close friend to do these two jobs.
drinks and seasonings:
way 1: go to the food market and supermarket to buy them yourself. The freedom of choice is relatively large, because cash settlement can sometimes choose some cheaper prices.
method 2: directly let professional companies 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 hang accounts. 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 volume. If the sales rebate is added, the purchase cost will not be more expensive than going to the market and supermarket. The proportion of rebate is as low as 5% of sales, and as high as 12%. It depends on you to talk to the supplier yourself. Some restaurants do not accept rebates, but ask suppliers for entrance fees. Some people in the industry think that this practice has many disadvantages, and the interests between suppliers and restaurants cannot be tied together, and cooperation will not be as close as rebate sales.
waiters are happy to accept the delivery from professional companies, because they can get the corkage fee, which is stipulated by the industrial and commercial department as a commercial bribe. In a small restaurant with four or five salespeople, if the business is good, a waiter can receive seven or eight hundred yuan a month for bottle opening. Waiters in some big hotels can't collect the corkage fee themselves, but in such small hotels, the boss will let the waiters collect the corkage fee directly, with the aim of encouraging the waiters' enthusiasm for work.
Ingredients:
Frozen shrimp, fish and other aquatic products. If you want to choose good quality aquatic products, you can go to large supermarkets, such as Metro and Trust-Mart. Most of the fresh aquatic products are purchased in Jinjiang agricultural and sideline products market and Nongdu aquatic products market. For a small shop, the daily consumption of vegetables is not large, and the owner will go directly to the nearest farmer's market to purchase goods. After a long time, the stall owner is relatively fixed, allowing the supplier to deliver the goods to the door. Some shopkeepers want to do business with regular stall owners, deliver goods to their homes, and pay their bills. However, it is best for bosses to go to the market often in person, both for replenishment and to look at the new raw materials in the market and understand the price.
Tips for purchasing small food stalls: When the market goes down, you can buy some dishes at a very cheap price and take them back for sorting, which is still a pile of good raw materials.
Whether the raw materials are purchased well and the prices are cheap is very important for the operation of a restaurant. It is very important to have professional knowledge. Some bosses don't know the difference between good and bad raw materials at first, so it is necessary to bring a chef as an assistant. Especially the purchase of seafood, experience is very important. For example, the same metapenaeus ensis, different people buy it, and the price per kilogram may differ by 11-21 yuan. People who are good at it can see that metapenaeus ensis can keep these for a few days after buying them back. When purchasing seafood, many restaurant purchasing veterans will buy a small amount of seafood near the end of their lives, because the price of such seafood is two-thirds or more lower than the normal price. Buy it back as a promotional item and sell it to customers at a very cheap price. The result is often happy, which is also a business trick.
There are actually many restaurants with various flavors and characteristics in Hangzhou. How to make them authentic? Everyone began to open competition on raw materials, not only to see whose approach is authentic, but also to see whether the raw materials are authentic. For well-done shops, most of the raw materials are directly purchased from the local area, which is especially common in some restaurants specializing in local flavors in Zhejiang, not only because of convenient transportation, but also because the procurement cost is cheaper than that in Hangzhou! Small restaurants that don't use a lot of raw materials every day may wish to refer to the practice of the following boss.
In Yingshanhong Zhexi Flavor Restaurant, Boss Li calculated an account like this: Except some ginger, pork and common condiments were purchased from Hangzhou, the raw materials in the restaurant were radish, lettuce, cabbage, onion, garlic, spinach, green vegetables, taro and other common vegetables from the local countryside. These dishes are all grown from soil and fertilizer, with strong flavor and guaranteed quality. Buying directly from farmers is at least one-third cheaper than in Hangzhou. For example, the purchase price of vegetables these days is from 1 yuan to 1.2 yuan per kilogram, and the Hangzhou market is at least above 2 yuan. Lettuce costs 1.4 per kilogram to 1.6 yuan, and the vegetable market in Hangzhou now sells 2.4 yuan per kilogram. The wild vegetables made in the store are also purchased from farmers, and the purchase price of these vegetables is cheaper. The bracken is 1 yuan per kilogram and the lichen is 1 yuan per kilogram. If purchased in Hangzhou, the bracken is at least as much as 2 yuan, and the lichen 3 yuan is 1 kilograms. According to boss Li, these dishes are delivered from my hometown every two days, and they are brought by the bus coming to Hangzhou at 7: 41 in the morning. Generally, there are two woven bags at a time, and one bag pays 11 yuan for transportation, and one person is responsible for purchasing. Even if the transportation expenses and the salary expenses of the buyer are added, the cost of purchasing raw materials can be saved by more than 3,111 yuan per month. A Si Fa Cake, a specialty of Longyou sold in the store, is also made by parents at home, so the cost is relatively low. A Fa Cake can earn 3.5 yuan on average, and it can sell 3,511 pieces a month on average, half of which is takeaway.
approval procedures for opening a store
The above steps are only the basic operation steps. It must be remembered that in these operations, the approval procedures to the functional departments are carried out at the same time! Moreover, it is best to apply and consult in advance for some approval procedures, so as not to take the wrong road and spend money when opening a store.
the application for opening a restaurant requires pre-approval, that is, before the industrial and commercial department obtains the business license, it must first obtain the hygiene license and the pollution discharge permit from the environmental protection department.
Take a small restaurant opened by an individual industrial and commercial household as an example. The specific procedure is as follows: first, take the original and photocopy of your ID card to the local industrial and commercial office to register the name. Remember that this is just 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 the sewage discharge permit and health permit.
application for pollutant discharge permit: first, apply to the permit office of the environmental protection bureau in the jurisdiction, and after accepting it, the staff will go to the door to check and guide. The two necessary conditions for obtaining a sewage permit are: there can be no residential buildings upstairs; Sewage should be incorporated into the municipal sewage pipeline. On-site inspection staff will decide which range hood to install according to the size of the business area. I bought my own home range hood or a range hood that has not been recognized for environmental protection. The staff of the accreditation office reminded that it is best to consult the environmental protection department before deciding to rent a store or decorate it. For example, when some shopkeepers open a shop for decoration, the smoke outlet or the window of the kitchen 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: find the health supervision office within the jurisdiction to apply for acceptance, and then let the restaurant employees 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; Second, whether the area ratio of processing sites and business sites has been reached. The proportion requirements of restaurants in different locations will be different, so it is necessary to consult in advance.
industrial and commercial business license: after you get these two certificates, you can apply for the industrial and commercial business license with these two certificates and the corresponding house lease certificate and ID card.
according to the regulations, before opening the business, it is necessary to apply to the fire department for approval, which needs to be applied to the jurisdiction where it is located at the time of renovation.
tax registration: within 31 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 are required, accounting for 11% of business tax, and some other taxes account for a very small share.
