Opening a cafe requires a special approach. A clear business plan and proper planning allow you to organize your work correctly and get decent results.
Instructions
Step 1
Calculate the cost of the main points of any project starting from scratch: the cost of renting premises, the total salary of employees and the total cost of purchases for the design / maintenance of the future cafe. After drawing up the estimate, proceed to the actual recruitment of employees and the purchase of the necessary furniture, appliances (for the kitchen), special services for finishing the premises. The final step will be the discovery.
Step 2
Find out the cost of renting several options at once; this will help you choose the most suitable one both in terms of price and location in the locality where the enterprise is opened. It is also necessary to clarify all the details of the lease process: whether it is a public building, from a developer or a sale.
Step 3
Make an approximate menu based on the estimated number of visitors per day and the orientation of the cafe to any kind of folk cuisine. The most standard list is represented by 5 hot dishes, 10 cold appetizers and salads, 10-15 kinds of drinks and additional 10-15 menu items. It is worth remembering that this is one of the three important components that leave the impression of the cafe with the buyer, the other two are the staff and the atmosphere.
Step 4
Choose your staff carefully, trying to interview everyone separately, not as a group, and do not hire other people to do this for a fee. There are several reasons for this: firstly, it is you who are their immediate boss and will be able to convey ideas and thoughts to them directly, and secondly, communication with the "top" will allow future employees from the very beginning to tune in to work with you, and not just doing professional duty for the sake of money due to the lack of work at all. This can later turn into incompetence of the hired workers, harassment of visitors and neglect of work.
Step 5
Complete all required papers. It is worth hiring a lawyer so as not to drown in all the legal intricacies of opening your cafe. Correctly fill out all employees and the necessary papers for the regulatory authorities.
