If you are just starting your own business and decided to open a cafe, then renting a ready-made and equipped premises will be an excellent opportunity to "get yourself started", which will cost less than a purchased-owned cafe. The cafe is considered a small business, so the rent will be relatively small.
Instructions
Step 1
Of course, its cost depends on many things, including the area and location. Don't be intimidated by the fact that the establishment available to you for rent is not located in the city center or in a crowded place. If you manage to put the business well, then clients will come to you, since personal transport makes any cafe accessible, even located outside the city.
Step 2
Choose right away the room that has already been adapted for catering. The option where there has never been a catering point is very expensive. In this case, you will have to spend large sums on project development and registration of permits. You will also have to invest heavily in connecting to communications and redesigning the hall. If you are ready for this, agree with the landlord that the reconstruction and decoration of the premises for the cafe will be included in the rental price.
Step 3
When you rent a ready-made cafe, make sure that the permits correspond to the concept of the cafe you have conceived and that the sanitary and epidemiological station is allowed to cook soups and butcher meat in its kitchen. Take all permits from the landlord and go with him to all authorities, seizing the lease. It is necessary for all permits and contracts to be reissued to you.
Step 4
When choosing a cafe for rent, evaluate as closely as possible what is included in the rent: payments for utilities, garbage collection, advertising fees, maintaining order in the surrounding area. Assess the property the landlord leaves you. There are times when you may not take into account when inspecting a cafe, and the landlord will not tell you that some of the equipment has not yet been removed by the previous tenant.
Step 5
Delineate responsibility for damage to property in the premises of the rented cafe in the lease agreement. Provide who will pay for the repair of a burnt out electric stove and other equipment.
Step 6
Establish responsibility with the landlord to the regulatory and inspection authorities, as their claims may apply to both you and him. For example, in front of the sanitary and epidemiological station, you are responsible for the dirty floor, and the landlord is responsible for the width of the doorways in front of the firemen. Although the responsibility for the project of the premises lies with him, they can force you to be fined and even suspended.
