Have You Tried That New Restaurant?

That is a safe question to ask every few weeks to anyone living in a reasonable sized provincial town and possibly a question that could be repeated every other day to someone living in a big city.

 The fact is that thousands of new restaurants open every year in the UK at just about the same rate as others close. We all know the statistics; about ninety per cent of all new ventures failing within the first year and restaurants are no different.

So why do ten per cent survive and then flourish?

Is it the food, the design, the location or the price? Maybe it is just the charm of the owner or a bit of everything.

Having an idea for a theme is not so difficult but planning the layout requires a bit of experience. There are many activities that should be undertaken if you get bitten by the bug to own your own restaurant.

The location and the look of the passing trade is one. Are you planning to serve the right kind of menu to the right sort of person? Is it supposed to be self-service or a la carte?

Amongst a dozen other essential pre-planning activities talking to local people including bank manager and family is very necessary if only for their honesty to conclude in unison that you are having either a mid-life crisis or are clinically insane.

There are companies like Garners Food Services that have helped in all stages of new restaurant design and are willing to give on-site tips before you even enter into any lease with the property owner.

Experienced catering companies have the knowledge you may lack about the location and type of catering business and although the final decision is quite naturally yours, they are always worth listening to.

Equipment from such companies can often be taken on lease or at least paid over a period on attractive terms. This is important when you take a look at the cost of some of the kitchen equipment.
