How to open a restaurant

A restaurant can be very profitable, but you must remember that opening such an institution will require a lot of capital. Mistakes made when organizing such a business will lead to serious losses.

Opening of own restaurant: initial stage

First of all, you need to draw up a business plan. Everything should be thought out to the smallest detail, including the amount spent on opening your own business, renting or buying a room, and acquiring equipment. Be sure to monitor the market and determine the place where the institution will be located, and find the most suitable concept for your restaurant. Particular attention should be paid to the menu and interior. For example, restaurants of Italian and Japanese cuisine require a different approach, and this cannot be ignored.

Calculate all costs and find out if you have enough money. If you plan to take out a loan to open a business, be sure to determine the approximate payback periods of the restaurant and consider whether you can pay off your debts.

When the business plan is ready, and the money to start your own business has been found, proceed to register a legal entity. It is possible to register not LLC, but IP - it will be much simpler, cheaper and faster. Pay particular attention to the OKVED codes that you will indicate. Even if you do not plan to open a restaurant-bar, it makes sense to add to the list the item "activity of bars", as well as "retail trade in alcoholic beverages." In the future, this may come in handy, and if you do not specify the necessary items at the registration stage, later you will have to reissue the paper.
