Instructions
Step 1
Conduct marketing research. By monitoring the media, you can determine the state of the restaurant market, as well as the most promising niches. By analyzing the portrait of the target audience, you can find out its consumer preferences. Questioning is the best way to detail and refine the data obtained. Focus groups are an ideal option not to make the mistake of tying the developed concept to the chosen room.
Step 2
Invite a designer. When developing a design project, be guided by the rule of unity. Individual details should not stand out from the overall design style. Do not forget about the sign and decoration of the entrance lobby. If a cafe or bar has large display windows, they should be decorated in accordance with the theme of the interior. Of course, future visitors should associate the latter with the name of the establishment. Very often the name changes during the rebranding, and the interior does not undergo any changes. This leads to the emergence of disharmony, loss of associations, and, as a result, to a decline in brand awareness and a decrease in revenue.
Step 3
Purchase and arrange processing equipment. If you are making a cafe with a full-cycle kitchen, you will need: a stove with an oven, a combi or combi steamer, a grill. For a bar with only small snacks, a stove and microwave are enough to warm up. Also, do not forget about refrigerators, the configuration of which directly depends on the range of dishes offered by the cafe or bar.
Step 4
Order a bar counter. It must be large enough because many guests prefer to spend all the time they visit the establishment. Be sure to consider the material from which the bar will be made. Ideally, wood, and its style should fully correspond to the style of the hall decoration. As a rule, coffee and beer dispensing equipment is located on the bar counter. On the side of the bartender, there should be a place for a small sink in it.
Step 5
Obtain permission from the authorities - Rospotrebnadzor and Fire Inspection. The sooner you do this, the earlier you will apply for an alcoholic license, without which the work of any bar is unthinkable. And in a cafe, alcohol will be very useful, because it stimulates an increase in the average check, which means the amount that potential guests will leave at your establishment.
