Almost all novice businessmen are attracted by the organization of public
nutrition as a means of providing yourself, beloved, "worthy old age." But almost always a lot of nuances that become
stumbling blocks in this business are not taken into account. Catering has so many restrictions and requirements that every person will feel dizzy, not to mention who the business is just a “new job” for. In this case, the enterprise, no matter how good it may be, is almost always doomed to failure in the first months of its existence. But all this can be avoided if you approach the organization of a business wisely and with a certain amount of necessary knowledge.
Where to start
First of all, it is necessary to clearly imagine the organization that will “feed” the hungry passers-by. You need to decide whether it will be a mobile network selling fast food, a small restaurant or a solid cafe. You can go through other options - from this the essence will not change, but the problem will remain the same. This is then necessary in order to draw up a rough plan of action and collect a package of documents.
The second on the list of urgent matters is the search for a place where public catering will take place. For small cafes, you should choose places located near the roadway, for a restaurant - calm and picturesque, for a cafe - in the open air and away from dirty air. Only for any mobile power network is suitable for almost any area accessible and permitted by law.
Then follows the development of the name of the institution and its emblem. It would not be desirable otherwise, but catering will require quite a lot of advertising costs. At least until it becomes popular enough for ads to come from regular visitors.
The next item is catering equipment. It should be strong enough (it should be noted that the equipment tends to break at the most inopportune moment, which means that it is necessary to maintain a strong relationship with its suppliers) and approved by sanitary organizations (communications will not interfere here either). This is probably the biggest expense item. Almost the entire business is built on equipment, because it is thanks to it that the food is cooked, and the better it is, the better the food. And this will affect the number of visitors attracted.
This also includes all interior items. After all, it is they who create the institution a unique atmosphere. It is worth making a bias on their strength and wear resistance. Despite the fact that visitors will be grateful, this will not save them from carelessness or even rudeness in handling furniture.
A competent staff selection is also required. After all, communication with visitors is also an important success factor. By the way, you can attract specialists who can do this at a high level, which will save the owner of the institution from unpleasant situations in the future.
To summarize
Despite the fact that catering actually brings not only considerable, but, one might say, huge income, this type of business is contraindicated for beginners. Unless there is a worthy mentor with a sufficiently large experience in this field. In other cases, it is better to do something else, and leave the catering to those who either have experience or are not afraid to risk their capital.
