What are the precautions for joining a restaurant?

First, proper financing and reasonable investment.

Don't borrow money everywhere because you are eager to start a business, even at usury. Although restaurant chain stores have a mature business philosophy, there will be a cold period for the opening of new stores, and they will not make profits in a short time. However, in order to raise money to pay off debts every day, entrepreneurs can't fully devote themselves to the operation of the enterprise.

If entrepreneurs have limited funds, it is suggested that they can invest in some small catering chain projects first and gradually accumulate venture capital. Appropriate financing and reasonable investment, franchisees should do what they can and choose the chain project investment that suits their threshold. Otherwise, entrepreneurs are heavily in debt and are always on tenterhooks, which has a great impact on the operation of the store.

Second, communicate directly with the restaurant chain headquarters.

There are many catering chain companies, and the profits earned by opening catering chain stores are considerable, which makes some emerging catering chain companies and franchisees more impetuous.

Some entrepreneurs are eager to start a business, and only listen to the promotional materials of some chain companies to sign up for investment. When there is a dispute, they find that the headquarters of the restaurant chain is smaller than their own stores, or even an empty shell, and they have no ability and experience to solve the problem of joining the project. Therefore, it is very necessary for entrepreneurs to visit the headquarters of restaurant chain stores in person.

Third, read the contract carefully and consult the legal person.

The contract is the only important binding evidence. The most important thing is the contract term, which is usually three to five years in China. Because some franchisees are on the safe side, considering the constraints of some factors on franchisees, the contract period is set to be relatively short. The contract period of franchisees with relatively stable development is generally longer, and the mature management concept ensures the stable development of franchisees in this industry.

In fact, before signing a franchise contract, entrepreneurs should have a deep understanding of the contract content to ensure their rights and interests. Don't think that the franchise contract is based on the headquarters system and can't be modified. The contract should be signed by mutual consent.

Entrepreneurs have the right to ask for revision. If the entrepreneur does not know enough about the contract-related knowledge, he can also consult the relevant legal person in time. Never ignore the role of the contract, but pay attention to your own vital interests.

Fourth, adjust operating funds and plan operating strategies.

The cost control in the operation of catering franchisees is very important, and it is absolutely necessary to reduce the cost to a lower range. At the same time, investors should make a good purchase strategy planning, make a good allocation of capital turnover, and ensure that the funds in foreign exchange can operate normally during the operation.

Shops should try to avoid pressing goods. Many new entrepreneurs are often genuine, capital operation is stretched, and soon they get into trouble. When joining, entrepreneurs can coordinate with franchisees, deal with the backlog of goods first, and ensure the normal operation of funds without affecting the business progress.

Matters needing attention in opening a restaurant:

First, the loss of people and food.

The development of every enterprise is inseparable from employees, especially those old employees in the early stage of starting a business, who play a great role in the development of enterprises. The same is true for catering enterprises. The development of a catering enterprise will gradually precipitate its own corporate culture, and the old employees are the core of the corporate culture.

The corporate culture of a restaurant is mostly created by the old employees of the company, including the characteristics of dishes, diet and service. Therefore, the development of catering enterprises needs to prevent the loss of employees and dishes. When employees are lost, dishes are lost and the roots of catering enterprises are gone.

Second, the price does not match.

The price of a food is determined by many factors, including geographical location, enterprise scale and service status. Shredded pork with garlic moss of the same dish can be sold to 15 yuan in the urban area, to 12 yuan near the station, and to 8 yuan, 7 yuan in the suburbs, where the price of the dish is determined by geographical location.

Shredded pork with garlic moss. You may only need 6 yuan, 7 yuan for home cooking and hotel 10 for roadside stalls. This is because the scale and service level of the enterprise determine the added value of the dishes. Therefore, as a catering enterprise in the early stage of its business, without its own loyal customers, it is necessary to grasp the market positioning and avoid the high price of dishes.

Third, there is a clear development direction.

The development of catering enterprises and the location of shops have great knowledge. The positioning of catering enterprises should be grasped according to the audience. If you open a high-end restaurant next to the school, it will definitely not work.

Similarly, opening a popular home-cooked dish in the bustling city center will definitely make ends meet because of the cost of the enterprise. Catering enterprises, especially those that have just started businesses, must open stores on time to avoid fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.

I'm in a good mood to open a shop today, but I won't open it tomorrow. The most important thing for a restaurant to survive is to retain loyal customers. If you open a store, the willingness of guests to come to the door will be greatly reduced. Over time, fewer and fewer guests will come to the door.
