To Open A Restaurant, You Need To Know Ten Things.

When I started my first restaurant, the 10 thing I would like to know is a series of lessons - 9 years since I started my own restaurant.

These lessons are my personal experience.

I really hope that someone can tell me these truths before I go through these sufferings.

Few people can learn from others' sufferings.

Therefore, if you want to hear my lesson so as to avoid these mistakes, I believe that these experiences will help you.

But if you choose to act in your own way and learn from suffering directly, that is your freedom and good luck.

Look for employees who are active in their work and keep looking for them.

The main characteristics of such people are: the amount of work they perform or participate in is always greater than the quantity and scope you require.

They are not easy to find, but they are the real pillars. Especially when your business is stable, they will maintain the normal operation of the business, so that you can enjoy free time at ease and relax and enjoy life.

Two, when you find a good employee, tell him that you think he is an excellent employee.

He often thanked him and praised him.

If they feel respected, even if we both know that I can not pay the rewards they deserve, they will still work with me.

Three, when you have a bad employee, don't waste your time trying to turn them into good employees, which is usually hard to achieve.

I find that the best way is to dismiss him as early as possible.

A bad employee will drag you down, not only will his work be badly done, but it will also have a negative effect on other employees.

Get rid of them and put your energy on one of my suggestions, which will bring more returns to your investment.

Four, earnestly wait for others' opinions, and be good at listening when they speak to you.

When people feel that they need to express themselves, as an entrepreneur, you have to be a listener -- you must listen to everything.

When you think that listening to someone's trifles is a waste of your time, you can't let them know.

If you ignore what someone tells you, they will no longer talk to you, and this will be one of the worst things that can happen.

You need your employees to talk with you.

They know more about what others do than you do, and if they believe you are listening to what they say, they will tell you many things you should know.

For example, "I saw Li Si, a new employee, taking drugs in the dressing room."

It's hard for you to know your employees without telling you such things.

Make sure that when people talk with you, you are listening, no matter how busy you are, no matter how trivial the matter is.

Five, pay your suppliers before you pay your wages.

For you, suppliers are like your employees.

Sometimes it's easy for us to think this way: because you are buying from them, you are God; so you can be like some of your customers who are entitled to do whatever you like, just ask for it and not be grateful.

What a mistake!

Yes, you are signing cheques for these guys, but you should maintain a good working relationship with them, otherwise they may destroy you.

They can also save you.

Once, when I went away for a few days to attend my sister's wedding, one of my employees stole the working capital from the safe.

I don't have enough money to run the business.

My suppliers, because they were able to get the payment and get along well with me in the past, help me quickly when I ask them for help.

Without them, I will lose this restaurant.

In addition, when half past five Friday afternoon, you suddenly found that you forgot to order some goods, and you hope your suppliers will send them quickly, unless you have a good relationship with them, otherwise there will be no chance.

In a restaurant business, you need to be friendly to everyone.

Six, we should innovate in the off season.

All restaurants will have a slack business season, and you should launch a new marketing offensive at this time.

I know that this sounds crazy, but it costs money to advertise, knowing that business is slack.

But if you do the right thing, you won't be wasting your time.

I have a restaurant in Boston. For restaurant business here, February is a terrible month, and the cold climate keeps people at home.

But there was a religious festival in February, so I developed the special recipes before the vegetarian diet and advertised them vigorously.

Attracting many diners.

It turned out to be our hottest month this month.

This kind of marketing can suit all kinds of enterprises, so long as the sales promotion activities are unique and interesting, they can attract customers.

Seven, do not be trifled with trivial matters.

Every day in the restaurant, there are countless problems, and you have no time to solve them.

Many problems seem urgent, but they are not so serious.

So after years of working like a madman, I finally learned that when all these annoying questions emerge, grasp the main contradiction and seize the main contradiction and give priority to important issues.

You have to learn to overcome all the trifles that you are trying to solve immediately. Eight, try to provide free services and donations to charitable organizations that may help your business.

When you open a restaurant, every charitable organization in the city will seek sponsorship from you.

At this point it is best to identify a relief theme: it is important for you, or for your business.

Almost all of my charity activities are related to AIDS, because several of my friends died of this terrible disease, and there are many homosexual settlements in my restaurant where they will thank me for the good deeds I have done.

Nine, the spirit of your own company is created by you.

Your employees will imitate your behavior -- good or bad.

If you are grateful and treat your customers well, most of your employees will treat people like that.

If you are cool or rude to your customers, your employees will think this is acceptable.

Don't do anything you don't want your employees to do.

"Do as I say, do not do what I do" does not work.

You are the captain of your own company, and your employees will take your lead.

Ten, for me, after five years of arduous struggle, I finally have stable capital to enjoy life and travel around the world.

By the way, I forgot to remind you that if you can hire the right people and treat them well, you will one day enjoy your free time.

When you lie on a yacht in the South Pacific, tens of thousands of miles away, your business is making money for you - nothing better.

It takes time, but it is possible for you.

When you tell people that you want to open a restaurant on your own, there are many 3 lies that people often say, but they don't have any experience about restaurant business, but they like to tell you a horrible story about this business.

They had a terrible look on their faces, and said to you sternly, "you can't open a restaurant. It's not feasible. It won't work."

Where did these guys get these conclusions?

Below are some common comments on restaurant business, that is, lies.

"There will be nine closures in ten new restaurants," he said.

This is a terrible number.

I don't know the exact statistics of restaurant failures, but I know that people often exaggerate the facts for some unknown reasons.

I feel that this is just what those losers have invented - if most people fail like them, it will make them feel better.

As long as you spend some time understanding and familiarity with this industry before you start your own business, careful research and inspection of your business's target market will greatly increase your chances of success.

In doing so, it is far more reliable than trusting those intimidated idiots and cowardly cowardly bullshit.

Two, "you can't find a competent employee."

I have actually considered this problem, and it turns out that it is not true.

Does that mean you have to pay them high salaries?

No, that means you have to provide them with a good working environment and make them feel trusted and respected.

After working overtime, drink with them, have dinner, watch a movie, hold a birthday party for your staff, and try to provide help and advice to your friends when they are in trouble or trouble at home.

To treat others according to the way you want to be treated will make your company more cohesive.

Three, once you become an owner, you will have to work hard and lose your personal life.

It's not true!

Many entrepreneurs work hard because they want to get a sense of achievement and a sense of life.

If they want to relax, they can do this at any time. It is easier for them to control their time than the average person, and more economic basis. As a conclusion, I would like to say that starting my own business is an excellent choice for me.

Even if the road to success is rugged, it is still a very wonderful experience.

It enriches me, gives me confidence, helps me to be independent, and lets me free.

Let's share the joy of success together.

I sincerely hope that all the entrepreneurs will be lucky and wish you success.
