what are the steps to open your own restaurant?

Question

I have thought about opening my own restaurant, but I have no idea what you have to do. Can you please give me some ideas?

Answer 1

The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.

I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.

Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.

Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:

* The Restaurant Business Start-up Guide by Paul Daniels
* Restaurants That Work: Case Studies of the Best in the Industry by Martin E. Dorf
* Restaurant Financial Basics by Raymond S. Schmidgall
* Opening a Restaurant or Other Food Business Starter Kit: How to Prepare a Restaurant Business Plan and Feasibility Study by Sharon Fullen
* Upstart Guide Owning & Managing a Restaurant by Roy S. Alonzo
* The Restaurant Managers Handbook: How to Set Up, Operate, and Manage a Financially Successful Food Service Operation by Douglas Robert Brown

There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

I highly recommend going to culinary school. That is one of the things they teach you there. You learn how to plan the layout of the dining room, your kitchen, everything.

Also, make sure you know your operating costs, such as rent, labor, perishable and non-perishable supplies, electricity, etc. Figure out what you need to run the business with no incoming cash for one year, and make sure you have at least that much in the bank when you open the doors.

If you want to open a franchise of an existing chain, that's a whole other ball of wax. McDonald's makes you work for a year or two running an already open store, but does not require the owner of that store to pay you. In fact, you have to pay for the privilege!
