The concept of "fast food" has entered our lexicon relatively recently. But fast food cafes quickly became popular. This niche is attractive for business start-ups. The costs of opening a fast food café are relatively low, and the profits can be impressive. After all, there are many who want to have a snack on the go.
Instructions
Step 1
It would be more correct to call a fast food cafe a fast food cafe. This is a catering establishment where you can eat quickly for little money. The fast food cafe is distinguished by its fast service time (on average 2-4 minutes) and a short time spent by the visitor in the establishment (about 30 minutes). The main criterion for the success of this type of establishment is the high turnover of seats.
Step 2
Hence it follows that choosing a place for a fast food cafe should be in places with high traffic. The room itself must meet a number of requirements of the SES and the fire inspection. It must be equipped with cold and hot water, a bathroom and fire safety equipment.
Step 3
In addition, you need to decide what type of institution you are going to open. It will depend on which room you need to choose. Usually in fast food cafes they work with ready-made semi-finished products. In "fast food" only heating or finishing of food is done. This is done after the customer's order. The preparation of semi-finished products is usually carried out by suppliers. In this case, one small semi-finished product preparation shop will be enough. But if you decide to open a cafe that uses raw materials, that is, to make semi-finished products yourself, then you will need additional premises for processing vegetables and cutting meat and fish.
Step 4
What equipment you need to purchase will depend on this.
Step 5
All fast food cafes can be classified and the following main types can be distinguished: Western-style (like McDonald's), an institution that gives priority to one or another national cuisine (oriental cuisine, sushi-express), a cafe that puts the concept of a certain product at the head (pancake, pizzeria, dumplings). Think and decide what kind of fast food you will open. The equipment of the enterprise is also connected with the “format” chosen for the establishment. Do you need a rice cooker, deep fryer, coffee machine, etc.
Step 6
After renting a room, take care of its interior. Fast food cafes are not distinguished by pretentious surroundings and especially exquisite design. Fast food establishments should not be conducive to a very long pastime. The hall should be bright and clean. After all, the main thing in them is high turnover.
Step 7
One of the features of a fast food cafe is the strict standardization that is applied to the interior and dishes, assortment and technological equipment. This is due to the widely developing networks of fast food establishments. Having decided to open your own cafe, ask, perhaps, it is much more profitable to organize your own franchise business.
Step 8
Next, you should find suppliers and staff. Fast food cafes are self-service establishments in shape, so you won't need waiters, but cooks, assistants, dishwashers, and a cleaner will be needed. Give preference to outgoing, stress-resistant and agile workers. It will not be superfluous - their knowledge of regulatory documents in the field of catering and trade. Please note that they must have health records.
