you should get the certificates, including the catering business license, business license, tax registration certificate and so on. To purchase basic business equipment, let your kitchen pass the inspection of government agencies, etc. Personally, I suggest that you apply for a self-employed business license with simple procedures and low cost, only 23 yuan, and the annual license examination procedures will be convenient in the future.

1. First, go to the industrial and commercial department to get the Notice of Name Pre-approval (to determine the name of your store)

2. Take the original and photocopy of the Notice of Name Pre-approval and other materials (the property certificate of the store, the copy of the lease contract, the ID card and the copy, etc.), and go to the local county-level food and drug administration to apply for the Catering Business License (now the food and drug administration department issues the certificate of the restaurant, The health department is only responsible for public health. The operator on the business license needs to obtain a health certificate himself. It seems that at least two people need to obtain a health certificate. The cost of obtaining a health certificate here is 111 yuan/person, and the cost of handling this certificate is about several hundred yuan. Doing this permit may require on-the-spot inspection (I definitely need on-the-spot inspection here). I suggest asking the above-mentioned departments for guidance on how to decorate the kitchen and asking what the requirements are, or you will have to do it again if it does not meet the requirements after you decorate it yourself. That's too bad ... In addition, it takes a long time to handle the catering business license, so you should do it as soon as possible. The cost of handling the catering business license varies from place to place

3. General information: photo of my certificate, ID card and photocopy, photocopy of the property certificate of the storefront (land certificate or real estate license, etc.), lease contract and photocopy of the storefront, and original and photocopy of the Catering Business License. If the materials are complete and meet the requirements of your local industrial and commercial bureau, you can usually get them in about a week. If you are not local, you may need to provide family planning documents and other materials. If you don't know where to go to the industrial and commercial bureau or the industrial and commercial office, or the administrative service center to get a business license, you can ask the owner of the shop next to you.

4. To apply for the Tax Registration Certificate from the local tax and national tax authorities within 31 days after obtaining the business license, you need the business license, real estate certification documents, lease contracts, ID cards and photocopies, etc. Self-employed individuals with 15 yuan/certificate generally pay a fixed tax, and both national tax and local tax are fixed taxes. There are many standards for the fixed tax of self-employed, not only the business items, but also the area of the store. It is the result of a comprehensive calculation. The specific tax amount depends on the local economic development level, the road section where your store is located, as well as the business scale, business projects and store rent. The situation varies from place to place, so it is difficult to say exactly how much it is. If the tax department determines that your monthly business volume is less than 5,111 yuan, then you don't have to pay national tax, but only local tax. If it is determined that your monthly business volume is more than 5,111 yuan, then you have to pay both national tax and local tax. Personally, it is very useful to have a good relationship with the special administrators of the tax bureau who have given you a quota and entertain them well.

5. In case of organization code certificate, it is decided whether to go to the local county-level quality and technical supervision administration according to actual needs. If you need this certificate, bring the following materials: the original and copy of the business license, the original and copy of the ID card, and the cost of going to the Quality Supervision Bureau is about 1,111 yuan.

many people have this wish to open a small restaurant and deal with food every day. On the surface, opening a restaurant is to find a storefront to set up a stove and fry the dishes for the guests. In fact, even if you open a small restaurant, there are many links and many trivial things. How to purchase raw materials is the most economical and worry-free? How to configure the equipment is the most reasonable ... Sometimes, whether some links are in place directly affects the success or failure of this restaurant. This entrepreneurial survey dissects the major steps of opening a small restaurant with characteristics, and introduces some business know-how in the industry.

Step 1: Choose a storefront

Two places are the best choice

One is where there are many office buildings, and the other is where residents live densely. Choosing a place with more office buildings in the company can ensure business at noon. Some restaurants in Hangzhou often have too many empty seats at noon but not enough seats at night. Old catering is very concerned about whether the business can be done well at noon. This can ensure the benign operation of the day. In the commercial and residential area in the west of Hangzhou, big hotels are often not open well, but some small restaurants with characteristics are doing well.

there are many channels to choose a store. You can talk to the landlord through media advertisements, resale advertisements in front of stores, or directly find a newly developed house. Another way is to contact the store owner directly after choosing the general location, no matter what the other party is doing now. Although this method is tiring, it has a better effect.

You can take advantage of the effect of Duo Long.

Don't think that places with many shops are not suitable for entry. If there are many characteristic small restaurants in a street, it will cause the effect of Duo Long, and it is easier to do business than to do it alone. The key is to make a difference between so many stores and other stores.

A rough search of the gathering places of characteristic small hotels in downtown Hangzhou: (Careful investigation before opening will be of great help to the success of a hotel. It is best for entrepreneurs to visit these stores one by one according to their own entrepreneurial orientation. )

A spicy street in Qingzhiwu: It was first famous in Yugu Road near Yuquan Campus of Zhejiang University. After the demolition, the spicy restaurant moved to Qingzhiwu nearby, and there are already seventeen or eight spicy restaurants.

The characteristic small hotel group on Uncle Bao Qi's road: There were only one or two small restaurants, and the business was relatively deserted. Since Piarchuan Noodle Restaurant entered in 2111, Liu Jiaxiang Spicy Restaurant, Chef Zhang, Auntie Dumplings, 911 Bowls, Fisherman's Music and other specialty shops have also entered. Because of their distinctive features, it has become a lively dining street.

The characteristic small restaurant group between Wenxin Road and Wenyuan Road on Gudun Road: There are at least thirteen characteristic small restaurants, ranging from shops with an area of 511 to 611 square meters to shops with an area of less than 111 square meters. The restaurants include Tonglu hometown dishes, Mandile Chicken-flavored Wowo, Yixidi Chicken-flavored Wowo, Xiangyuan Hotel, Huaxi Wangji, Laoshan Noodle Restaurant, Country Building, Rongji Noodle Restaurant, Lvgu Renjia, Chuanzhongchuan, Weimiaoxuan and so on.

Xinhua Road area: Seven or eight characteristic small restaurants, such as Zhenyu bento, Tongshan farm food, Linji old chef and Shaoxing farm food, are good at cooking local dishes, and their business is not bad.

Behind the Overseas Chinese Hotel: Because there are small restaurants that do well, such as Philo Restaurant and Dafuhao Restaurant, this is the place where Hangzhou chefs often arrange their appetites.

The group of small restaurants between Shangtiyu Road and Fengqi Road on Zhongshan North Road: there are a casserole, Hongshun dumplings, 911 bowls of bone pot, Wenzhou noodle restaurant, Lanzhou Lamian Noodles and so on.

Be careful when subletting storefronts

It is almost an open secret in the catering industry to earn part of the subletting fee when borrowing subletting. Therefore, newcomers must be careful when subletting other people's stores.

subletting stores should pay attention to some pitfalls: first, because the sublessor has encountered road demolition projects, it has been unable to open itself, and only wants to recover some initial investment by subletting. Therefore, when looking for a storefront, you must first ask the nearby stores carefully, preferably to the planning, housing management or industrial and commercial departments. If a place is about to be demolished, the local industrial and commercial office will generally be informed. Second, the original restaurant was restricted in sewage and fire fighting, and it was required by the relevant departments that it could no longer be opened, but the lessee did not know the inside story. After all the sublease fees were paid, it was found that it was impossible to open a shop here. This situation is most common in the downstairs of residential buildings. Third, if the other party can't provide the real estate license after renting it, 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 business after it is booming, and the purpose is only to earn the cost of subletting. There are some catering bosses in Hangzhou who like this operation. After taking over, I found that this store has gone into recession, and it is very difficult to make it prosperous again.

If a storefront is subletted one after another in a short period of time, you must also be very careful. There is a saying in the catering industry in Hangzhou: "A paralyzed restaurant is not good at feng shui", which mainly refers to the kind of storefront that has changed hands many times, and it is difficult to do it well again. Sometimes, this storefront looks like a lot of good features, but some hidden weaknesses are hard to see. For example, although it is located in the city center and has a large traffic volume, there are also many business buildings on the side. However, it may have problems such as inconvenient parking, inconvenient access, etc., and the result may be that business can't be done well.

step 2: product positioning

after selecting the facade, we will start product positioning. Take opening a 311-square-meter hotel as an example.

a safer way is to follow the trend of food popularity in a city. For example, Jinhua casserole was very popular three years ago. A casserole shop of more than 311 square meters can do business of 1 million yuan a day. Gross profit can reach 51% and net profit is 31%-35%. Since last year, the business of Hang Cheng Restaurant has been booming. Seeing this consumer market, some bosses specialize in local spicy dishes in Quzhou, Jiangshan, Longyou and other provinces. For example, there is a "Quzhou Hometown Cuisine" at Wenhui Road, which caters to many spicy lovers and has its own local characteristics.

At present, the popular practice of small restaurants with Hang Cheng characteristics is to directly introduce local dishes from Zhejiang Province to open stores. For example, Jinhua Casserole Shop, Shipu Seafood Shop, Tonglu Restaurant, Dongyang Restaurant, Wenling Restaurant ... These characteristic small restaurants are so popular. Some are simply named after "Tujia cuisine". First, because there are many migrants in Hangzhou at present, especially people from all over the province come to Hangzhou. After opening small restaurants with local characteristics, they can attract a large number of fellow villagers first. For example, Yingshanhong Zhejiang Western Restaurant located at No.51 Stadium Road mainly serves western Zhejiang cuisine in Longyou and other places. According to the boss, home guests from Quzhou, Jinhua and other places account for two-thirds. The Green Valley family on Gudun Road is also a place where many people in Hangzhou Lishui have dinner.

if you are cooking special food outside the province, it is difficult to purchase the raw materials completely. At present, the transportation in the province is convenient and the purchase is convenient. Many small restaurants with local flavors and even common vegetables are also shipped from the local area.

with positioning, you can determine the name of the store and customize the menu. It is simple and obvious to name the store directly with the featured main dishes or place names. For example, "roasted chicken", "boiling fish" and "Tonglu hometown dishes", or directly naming the store by the place name, both of these effects are good.

Step 3: Decoration

After determining the storefront and positioning, the decoration can be carried out. The consumer demand of customers is rising, and the position of storefront environment in restaurants has become higher and higher. A good environment can sometimes be the key factor for the success or failure of opening a store. Three or four years ago, some large restaurants in Hangzhou won in one fell swoop with cheap and luxurious environment. Since the end of last year, many small and medium-sized restaurants in Hangzhou have also started to make a fuss about the environment.

How is the storefront environment? It doesn't mean that the more you invest, the better. It depends more on the design. Sometimes, designing a mud wall with little money to reflect the positioning of Tujia cuisine can attract customers. Since last year, there have been some high-grade and exquisitely decorated small restaurants in Hangzhou, which have done well in business, largely because the environment is superior to others.

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 invite professionals during the decoration process, and it is best to find a chef or someone with restaurant management experience to take charge before the decoration starts. They can provide many suggestions.

Step 4: Recruit people

Talent is also a key link in the success of a restaurant. The staff in the small restaurant is divided into two parts, one is the chef, and the other is the waiter, who is responsible for the kitchen production and the front office service respectively.

the number of staff in the kitchen of a 311-square-meter restaurant depends on the number of dishes. Generally, more than ten people are enough, including cooking, chopping (side dishes), loading (chores) and washing vegetables. However, some kitchens use 31 people, such as a Chinese hotel on Zhongshan Middle Road. Because of its high-end positioning, the variety of dishes ranges from Chinese dishes to various west points, and the production requirements are also very high. Naturally, the number of people needs to increase exponentially, but here, the price of vegetables is 61% to 71% higher than that of ordinary restaurants.

There are four common ways to find a chef: First, the boss orders directly. This method is mainly suitable for small restaurants. The boss goes to a restaurant that is similar to his own position. If he thinks the food is better, he tries to dig people directly in this store. The advantage of a chef is that the boss can understand the skills of each chef and maximize their respective values. In Hangzhou, the salary of a chef in a small restaurant is generally around 3,111 yuan, while that of a chef is more than 1,111 yuan.

In Hangzhou, another way is through Hangzhou Catering and Hotel Industry Association, where free chef introduction service can be provided. The guild will also give simple guidance on how many people are needed in the newly opened kitchen. The telephone numbers are 87216673 and 87216674.

another way is to contract others to do it. After finding a chef, the chef is responsible for recruiting people. For a 311-square-meter hotel, depending on the variety of dishes and the positioning of grades, the monthly contract fee for the chef is between RMB 1,111 and RMB 41,111, which is used to pay the salaries of kitchen staff. The boss will sign a contract with the chef to ensure the production and gross profit rate of the dishes, and at the same time ensure that the health inspection and fire inspection of the competent department must pass the customs. This way, it is more worry-free for the boss, as long as you control a chef. The disadvantage is that if the boss doesn't manage the chef well, once the cooperation with the chef is over one day, the whole class in the kitchen will have to change, which will have a great impact on the operation of the whole restaurant. Moreover, if someone is invited to contract the kitchen, the chef can earn more money only by deducting more wages from the kitchen staff.

the fourth way is to ask the catering management company to do it. As the catering market in Hangzhou matures, a number of professional catering management companies have emerged, such as celebrity catering management companies, which not only have their own investment in celebrity hotels, Zhonghao typhoon shelter, Piarchuan and other hotels, but also export kitchen management to more than 31 large, medium and small hotels. Hangzhou Baoshan Village Restaurant Management Company, after opening its own direct store, also began to manage the restaurants outside. The bosses of these companies are mostly chefs and have a good experience in kitchen management. Catering management companies generally have their own direct chain stores, and there is a relatively stable team of chefs below. Inviting them to manage the kitchen seems to be similar to personal kitchen contracting, and the responsibilities are similar. The advantages are: the salary of individual kitchen contractors to the following employees is arbitrary and often changes, which affects the stability of the chef team. After corporate management, this operation is more transparent, and management companies often bring in some new dishes.

Step 5: Customize the equipment

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 and spatulas.
