When the task is to open your own cafe in Ukraine, it makes sense to familiarize yourself with the requirements for catering establishments. If their list does not cool your ardor, proceed to the search for premises. As in large Russian cities, the situation with the availability of liquid real estate is unimportant. Therefore, both the preparation of a business plan and the development of the concept are transferred to the second and third stages. In other words, they start after it becomes clear what kind of premises you are renting.

Instructions
Step 1
Find a room that will meet your needs, as well as have the technical ability to accommodate a cafe. It's good if the previous owners also used it for catering. In this case, you do not have to make significant edits to the project plan. On the other hand, this option also has its disadvantage. In particular, no matter what institution you open, the locals will strongly associate it with the past, not entirely successful (it would be successful - it would have continued to work in this room).
Step 2
Order a project plan. The way ventilation shafts, water pipes, numerous wires will pass can greatly simplify (or complicate) the further arrangement of equipment. Be sure to consider this aspect: if the future cafe is located in a residential building, you need a very high-quality soundproofing system. Without it, the neighbors from the upper floors will torture you (and you will most likely torture them). By the way, they can make a "note of protest" in relation to the ventilation outlets located in the courtyard.
Step 3
Purchase and arrange furniture and equipment. It is especially important to properly staff the production. Provide thermal, refrigeration, electro-mechanical equipment. Consider if you have the opportunity to fit a coffee maker and a beer machine in the room. If there is no place, you will have to find it in production. A separate topic that many people forget about is the dishwasher. At the request of the regulatory authorities, it must stand in a separate room. Whatever the size of the cafe you have, if you are planning a full-cycle kitchen, you will have to "give" at least 50-75 sq.m. for production and auxiliary premises.
Step 4
Invite reviewers. For obvious reasons, checking them can take from 2 weeks to a month, so at the same time, do the search for personnel, develop menus and draw up service standards. There are many good catering establishments in Ukraine, and if you do everything right, your cafe will take its rightful place among them.
