• Local Restaurant
• Foreign Restaurant

Let’s be clear about these two restaurant types, first one is a local restaurant, we take as an example if your restaurant is in the united states and if your restaurant is local that means your restaurant serves local food like Fajitas, Jerky, Twinkies, Pot roast, Cobb salad, and much more food items

on the other hand if you run a foreign restaurant in the united states that means your serving foreign food items like Thai food, Chinese food, Swedish food, or Indian food. Now an entrepreneur needs to decide on the types of restaurants.

If an entrepreneur chooses a local restaurant, he needs to arrange crowded places because his target would be local customers. The most crowded place is inside the local market and local people visit the market daily. On the other hand,

if an entrepreneur like to start a foreign restaurant that means his target customers would be high class or VIPs etc these types of customers like to spend lots of time in the restaurant in eating food slowly and trying to get enjoy

the food that is why an entrepreneur needs to arranged those places where are crowd less were have natural beauty and those place gave the mind peace and also well-decorated hope this small paragraph helps an entrepreneur to decide the perfect place. 

Restaurant Decoration

A restaurant looks to explain to the customers about restaurant taste, thought ideas, and the mentality of the whole restaurant, and this thing attract the customers So as a beginner an entrepreneur didn’t have an idea that how to decorate a restaurant,

Suppose an entrepreneur builds a good quality restaurant like a VIP restaurant he should research it and find what his target customers expected from the restaurant environment and how an entrepreneur create that environment in his future restaurant because when a good quality restaurant opens time high-class people are interested to visit and get experience

if the restaurant decoration gives them their expected environment they will fix it for their party as example an entrepreneur starts his restaurant in New York and if those things happened his restaurant entrepreneur’s income will double especially are Christmas time high-class people find Christmas decoration restaurant NYC that can make their happiness double.

Now the question is how an entrepreneur can understand restaurant decoration type. The answer is so easy when you research and select the place that time your research will also give you about high-class people’s expected environment in those places where you think to start a restaurant and

this thing will give you more strong information about high-class people if your research is a dipper now you have also questioned how to get research the answer is you can get help from local people or you can start a survey on your chosen place.

Business Promoting

There is a myth in the business sector that “Promotion is the expansion of business” and these things 100% true when you start promoting your business that time customers can easily reach you they know about your restaurant. An entrepreneur who is a beginner in this restaurant business hasn’t any idea how to promote his restaurant business before we know it

at first, we should know about the benefits of business promotion when an entrepreneur thinks about restaurant business promotion that time restaurant does have not much more customers but when you start his business promoting campaign that time people are starting to notice his restaurant and also read about his restaurant this way people reach you after

when you increase your promotion more people reach you not only in your restaurant place but also in other places and this promoting campaign double your customers and increases your sales. Now entrepreneurs think If only good ideas could be found about the restaurant business promoting, here is the 

best ideas for promoting business

• Promoting Business On Social Media
• Website For Promoting Business
• Ads On Digital Banner
• Leaflet Distribution
• Small Street Banner

The First 3-point business promoting system is very easy you can get help from the digital marketer. When an entrepreneur made it successful his restaurant going to be popular. However, one bonus tip is that when customers came to your restaurant try to get their reviews if they gave you a positive review it means they must promote your restaurant to their friends, family, or relatives So customer satisfaction is also a restaurant business-promoting trick.

Staff management 

Staff is one of the most important parts of the restaurant business without staff a restaurant can’t run there is one thing that is if your entrepreneur and if you wanted to hire staff for your restaurant you would be sharper about selecting them otherwise

if you get useless unqualified or unskilled staff your restaurant would garbage So what should an entrepreneur do? At first, an entrepreneur should advertise that they are hiring staff for the restaurant addon some requirements that he expected from staff when people are coming for your restaurant job you get some small interviews from them.

Now you think about which questions you need to ask them for confirming about they are skilled. Here is some question that you ask

• How many years they have experience in this sector
• Which restaurant they work at before coming here
• Why they left that restaurant job where they work before
• Which sector they have skilled in the restaurant as chief or as a waiter or other work
• Ask them what is the security that you didn’t fraud with me
• Ask them is there any relative they have in the restaurant are

When all these questions you got the answer and this answer gave you satisfaction from those people that means they are skilled. Now this main thing is staff management because without managing staff your restaurant didn’t run properly

So if you have means entrepreneur have qualification So all the problems are solved but if an entrepreneur hasn’t any idea about it you can do one thing select a leader from the staff who have the most experienced, skilled and knowledgeable about all restaurant sector work he can lead all the staff from you instructions

But you should discuss it with him before making any decision this thing will help you to manage staff easily because there are lots of staff from different districts or countries they have different mind thoughts So many times problems arise due to differences between them and this problem can solve a leader or he can manage staff properly.

Skilled Manager

A manager is a person who has a responsibility to manage all the sectors in any business and a manager also plays an important role in the restaurant business. Now an entrepreneur can think I can do everything so why the manager is important? that’s wrong

an entrepreneur can’t do everything that a manager can do So let’s talk about the primary and main responsibility of a restaurant manager which is a test of restaurant’s food quality, before customers start to enter the restaurant a manager tests food dishes when he has satisfaction and gave permission to serve the food in front of customers

that time food is available in the restaurant this method will consistently maintain the quality of the food. The next thing Where spend on how many products, calculating employees’ pay, how many vegetables are needed for cooking, how much money is needed to buy vegetables, is there any restaurant resource that has a problem like a chair. Table, fan, and air conditioner, and also get information about staff from their leader that

how many staff doing duty and how many are absent, and many more things he does Which is not possible for an entrepreneur alone. So that is why an entrepreneur needs a manager but a manager must be skilled because without a skilled manager

all those things that we explain up there an unskilled manager can’t possibly do that are reasons when an entrepreneur start a restaurant business he must appoint a minimum of 6-9 years experience management skills person as a manager

Market Manager

Shopping is the most important part of the restaurant business cause without shopping a restaurant food can’t possible to make and without ingredients, a food dishes can’t make So if you’re not going to shopping you can’t buy ingredient or vegetable or other necessary things So you should go to the market and do shopping for the restaurant

Now the thing is an entrepreneur has lots of responsibilities he can’t do the shopping for the restaurant and the manager is also busy with his own responsibility that’s why high-class restaurants hire a person for market manager jobs who have the responsibility to shopping

all the products that a restaurant daily need to run their restaurant business Now the entrepreneur think what is the benefit of hiring market manager cause shopping is not so tuff work but the truth is restaurant shopping not same like other shopping

if you think you call the shopkeeper and he sends all the product or vegetable that you need for the restaurant there is a high possibility to get the bad product or waste vegetable if market manager go to the shop and he will determine by sorting out the verification

which vegetable or product need to buy for the restaurant and he also can save your money, how? When he goes to the market, he will check every shop and buy all the necessary products from the shop

where the quality is good and the price is cheap this way he can save you money Now the question is how to choose a skilled market manager. There is two way that is

• Ask him about his experience in this sector
• Ask him about the recent market condition 

If he is experienced in this sector he gave you lots of information about shopping when you first time asking him the question and the second question answer he gave 90% correct

Skilled accountants

Accountants this person needs in every business that’s why there is a separate topic about it in the education sector However we talk about restaurant accountants who get the bill from the restaurant customers and also he should have a sharper eye, smart-talking style and many more in this time an entrepreneur means restaurant owner can’t possible to take accountants responsibility, why?

Ignore all the example take only one if the owner is in accountant sit and suddenly owner’s relative is coming as a customer and ask for the owner of the discount have no option but to refuse him but if there were accountants he can direct refuse his demand

that’s why we saw popular countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia, and many country restaurant owners manage their restaurants from outside So the restaurant accountants job is to monitor cash flow, inventory, and income details in this way, and accountants gave a statement in the restaurant owner about his restaurant profit or losses graph.

Now the question is how to choose skilled accountants, it is tuff to find skilled accountants but if an entrepreneur focus on some points before selecting accountants when he getting interviews a candidate that is 

• Ask him how he monitors cash flow
• Ask him how to create a list of restaurant inventory 
• Ask him which is the best way to make income details
• Ask him what is his personal technic to create a profit or losses graph
• Ask him about his experience 

When his answer gave you satisfaction and you like his smartness, that means he is a skilled accountant one thing that entrepreneurs can think about is a restaurant accountant salary? It depends on you but in the United States restaurants accountants get paid hourly 

Restaurant Waiter 

Waiter is the heart of the restaurant, they can be popular in your restaurant or they also can be destroyed if they want, that’s why an entrepreneur can be sharper-minded when he was hiring a person for a waiter job. At first, we know what is the main work of a waiter,

The waiter organized of restaurant table serves the drinks and tells customers about food items and lastly they get an order from the customers Now the entrepreneur may have questions about why the author said that the waiter is the heart of the restaurant cause

if your restaurant waiter didn’t organize the restaurant table Your restaurant decor will look pale or if he was unprofessional he never serves drinks first or didn’t tell you about food items, as a result, your restaurant’s popularity will decrease.

Now an entrepreneur may have a question that So how to choose a skilled or professional restaurant waiter this things totally depends on the staff management person who observes all the restaurant staff also a restaurant waiter now the author will share

5 points that staff management person needs to follow for choosing the best restaurant waiter

• How a restaurant waiter welcomes customers
• How he behaves with the customers?
• Observe customers loyalty to the restaurant waiter
• How he was review restaurant food items with customers
• What customers will say about your restaurant waiter

When the staff management person gets all the points correct answer about the restaurant waiter person that means that waiter is perfect for the restaurant and he will increase your restaurant’s popularity 

Customers Expectations

When your restaurant gains some popularity that is the time of success flow for your restaurant business. During this time restaurant will reach customers slowly and grow its regular customers base, this regular customer has lots of customers expectations of service from the restaurant

but a huge number of restaurant didn’t fulfill this thing, especially the newbie restaurant they didn’t observe this thing that’s why after some time restaurant business will flop So first the owner of the restaurant or an entrepreneur need to know about the customer’s expectation

now the author divide 2 types of expected customers the 1st type of customers will come to your restaurant regularly and 2nd type of customers who buy food from your restaurant one day a year so as an owner of the restaurant what should you need to do?

You need to observe 1st types of customers and their expectations otherwise if you select 2nd one your restaurant business going to be face losses. The number of regular customers is low so the restaurant business is less likely to suffer due to their expectations being met Indirectly,

the number of people who do not come to the restaurant regularly is much higher than the number of people who come to the restaurant regularly, so the business may be at a loss to meet the expectations of those who do not come to the restaurant regularly.

Now maybe the entrepreneur thinks about what is the regular customer expectation from the restaurant. There is 2 expectation that most regular customers expect that is 

• Discount
• Best quality food at a cheap price

Customers Loyalty

In the customer expectation paragraph author will share about regular customers and there is some person who is the loyal customers who believe you trust you promote you and also increase your reputation without any cost.

Let’s learn what is customers loyalty “loyalty is the bond between customers and business owner” when customers bond with your business that time those customers have emotion about your business or products they trust your services or products.

customers loyalty definition “A loyal customer is an unpaid marketer who increases your sales without any cost they never left your product or services at any situation that is the customer’s loyalty” there are lots of studies that show if you have 5% of loyal customers your profit will be an increase 25% to 95% from other business.

However now the restaurant business owner or entrepreneur think that how to gain the loyalty of customers at first you should collect data about the customers like which food they like, which food they order consistently,

what were the accurate time that enters the restaurant and many more after when you analyze all this data you understand the customer’s emotion, at last, you should try to engage with the customer’s emotion, How? So you have data about customers you should use for engagement like

• You already know about the customer entry time in the restaurant, you can give them a surprise at the restaurant entrance
•  You already know about the customer’s favorite food, you can suddenly serve this food on his table and told the customer this food is free of cost today for him 

In this way, you can engage with customers’ emotions and they refer your business, products, or services to their family relatives or others.

Skilled Chief

A chief plays the biggest role in the restaurant business but if the chief is unskilled in cooking that means he cooked with basic cooking knowledge it’s harming your restaurant business and decreasing your restaurant’s reputation that’s why a skilled chief is important for a restaurant.

There are lots of restaurant owners who hire basic knowledge chiefs to save their money. However, So a beginner restaurant entrepreneur doesn’t have knowledge that how many chiefs they need and how to find a skilled chief, Chiefs number depends on the entrepreneur’s restaurant business size but

if an entrepreneur wanted to start his restaurant business with high-quality foods he needs a minimum of 4 chiefs, one chief will head and others follow his head’s instruction. A head chef didn’t do anything he gave only instructions to his junior chiefs when they make food head chief checked food tests and gave permission to serve

the food in front of customers but all the chiefs need to be skilled  Now the question is how to find the skilled chiefs? Yes difficult to find a skilled chief but if you use some technic you can find a skilled chief

What is the technic it is? At first, an entrepreneur needs to visit lots of popular restaurants and tested their food items then list those restaurant’s names was food he liked and get satisfied with the food test now contact those chief that restaurant food gave him complete satisfaction and ask him

what he gets from the restaurant were he work right now like salary, bonus, and many other benefits then you offer him the best benefits salary bonus or facilities from that restaurant where he works. now when you select to head chief gave him the opportunity to find his junior chief those are comfortable working with him on other hand

if you use another way to find a skilled chief like advertising about it you can’t get a skilled chief to cause an unskilled person also apply for the job

Discount

Discount is the most popular business strategy is at this time. Every entrepreneur wanted to start planning business strategy for making their business successful. However, at first, we know what is a discount. Generally speaking,

When the price of a product sold is kept slightly lower than the fixed price from the buyer it’s called a discount. Now a new entrepreneur thinks that what is the benefit or unbenefit of discounts, Well the most valuable benefits of discounts are that attract customers to your restaurant business and increase your sales

on the other hand if you haven’t any knowledge about discount strategy you didn’t get any profits from your extra salse So you should know some basics strategy about discount like you can’t run you discount all the time as an example restaurant is fully loaded in holidays if you run a discount offer that time your cash flow will down.

if an entrepreneur can properly use the discount strategy he must build a strong restaurant business now another valuable benefit is discount increase, your customer’s loyalty and we already discuss this up there However

When you gave discounts to your customers with high-quality food that time customers get satisfaction from your restaurant business and these things customers make you loyal. When you gain the maximum number of loyal customers then you can stop your discount campaign, In mind that

discount is the fastest way to grow your restaurant business and you must use a restaurant marketing strategy for the perfect discount campaign

Owners Responsibility

Responsibility is the most important for every entrepreneur but if an entrepreneur hasn’t any knowledge of responsibility he couldn’t get successful in any business and the restaurant business is also like that if you didn’t find out your restaurant problem it never be solved.

Now the entrepreneur has a question I appointed staff everywhere so why I should take responsibility? At this time it’s difficult to find an honest restaurant staff who take care of your business like you the staff will always think about his own profit from your business

So if restaurant owner has to fulfill his responsibilities in a strict manner then he expected profits from the restaurant business. There are many restaurant entrepreneurs who do not keep track of their business and come to the restaurant every month or week to collect dividends. Is this thing is correct?

The answer is No it is not, as this restaurant entrepreneur didn’t run their business long term So let’s know some required restaurant owner responsibility 

• Spend lots of time in your restaurant business
• Gave value to your Senior staff, Manager, or accountants
• Keep an eye always your food quality
• No rocker discount should be given for cleanliness
• Don’t behave like rubbish with your restaurant staff
• Try to give satisfaction to all your staff

When a restaurant entrepreneur follows these points perfectly that time he has too much possibility to succeed or increase his business profit. Maybe the last point lots of entrepreneurs didn’t get that how he gave satisfaction to all his staff? The answer is rewarded,

when you gave a reward to your staff for your staff’s special work or give a bonus on holidays that time your staff will satisfy with you and they work harder for your restaurant business.

Always Updated

Restaurant customers always expect something new, something testy, or something different that’s why the restaurant business always needs to be updated. Backdated food decreases your restaurant’s reputation customers will give you complaints about your restaurant.

However, day by day restaurant business competition going to be hard and popular if an entrepreneur wants to beat them he must be updated his restaurant business. At first, he needs to focus on his restaurant decoration, there was a time restaurant decoration doesn’t affect on restaurant business but in this updated time customer is loyal they don’t just go to restaurants to eat,

they go to relieve their fatigue that’s why they find the best environment and the restaurant environment created by high-quality decoration so a restaurant entrepreneur must be updated his restaurant decoration. The second thing is updated food quality this thing is much more important cause when your served food for your repeated customers regular quality

after sometime customers get bored those food that’s why they are much more possible to lose your repeat customers reasons is the restaurant customers always find variation in food or food quality So if you wanted to hold the customer tightly in your restaurant you must be updated your food quality.

The last thing is manpower, strong manpower gave customers satisfaction by their services, in restaurant manpower means restaurant waiter, skilled chief or all other staff especially the restaurant waiter,

if they have misbehaved with the customer or lazy to serving food in front of customers and if they are late to serving food your restaurant will be losing so try to update your manpower and get skilled staff
