Operate My Restaurant
|
You may be asking yourself, how should I operate my new/future restaurant?
The first answer to that is a strong business plan. If your restaurant is not yet in a position to begin serving customers then there is much yet needed to be done. A business plan allows you to map out exactly what your objective is regarding your theme, target market and cuisine. If you don’t have the financial ability to cover the start up costs yourself then you will need a viable business plan to secure an investor or a business loan.
Finances are a huge part of operating your restaurant. Accounting is no easy task and all it takes is one mistake to mess up the entire process. Keeping track of the ins and outs of money is a daunting task and one best undertaken by a professional. Either way, money management is up to the owner when it comes to spending and the purchase of goods. It’s imperative to record every financial change. Failure to do so may result in unnecessary loss.
So if it’s a case of deciding, I am going to operate my restaurant and making it truly happen, staff must be properly hired and trained. The first and main thing your customers will notice is the serving staff. If the service is not acceptable the customers will make no effort to return to your establishment. Forging a good working relationship with servers is important. When employees feel valued and respected by their employer they tend to do much better work. In the restaurant business your servers are the sales pitch to your patrons. Being closely involved with them on a friendly but professional basis will be extremely beneficial.
Covering all of the bases and business details can be tedious and time consuming. However, it is a necessary part of gaining a foothold in the restaurant industry. Learn as much as you can and put in the time to gain the experience and you will be telling people, I operate my own restaurant, in no time.

Have a small toolbox handy!
Many first time restaurant owners haven't considered that things break or stop working. And, of course, they always break during the busiest times.
Make sure you have an assortment of tools handy so you can "MacGyver" whatever needs to be done until you have time to fix your restaurant equipment properly. It's really hard to undo a screw with a restaurant kitchen knife!

Testimonial
I know that you get emails all the time but I had to write anyway. I don't believe in coincidences. The day after reading your book I found exactly the situation that I would have normally overlooked.
I'll let you know as things progress but I believe I've found my golden goose!
You should charge more than you do for your book, your information is of great value to me/anyone looking to start their own restaurant.
Thanks so much
(I'll email you my results soon)
