    👀 ABOUT THIS VIDEO
    Starting a restaurant is no easy task. Keeping it open is another feat. 60% of restaurants fail to survive past their first year. But why do so many restaurants and small businesses fail to survive? What common restaurant mistakes or top reasons restaurants and F&B shops are making?
    You've probably heard of that 60% failure stat before. That's one ugly and depressing number to hear. As a F&B shop owner, previous restaurant owner, and small business owner...it is a number that I see as a reality. It's tough. Starting a restaurant is already tough, but keeping it open is a whole 'nother beast.
    Why do restaurant businesses fail so often? What is it about them? There are 5 reasons and common mistakes that I see new and novice restaurant owners make quite often...that end up costing them their whole business.
    So if you're looking to learn why restaurants fail, common restaurant mistakes, why restaurants fail, a restaurant owner looking to avoid restaurant failure and closure, or an upcoming business owner looking to start a restaurant or in the process of starting a restaurant, keep watching!

      Still waiting on a response to my previous question
      You mentioned after expenses/tax you retained 10k after 30k in revenue per month. How is retaining 33% possibly. Can you clarify

    • @WilsonKLee
      @WilsonKLee  4 года назад +1

      @@VuNguyen-nd1md i thought i replied to that? typically speaking account for 25% for COGS and 25% for laboour. our rent is $2k/month. so that accounts to less than 10%. you can do the calculations... im not saying that on a yearly basis we make 33%, it levels out with good months and bad months. hope this helps!

    These frightening reasons are:
    1. Location
    2. Improper Management
    3. Ego
    4. Not Knowing Numbers
    5. Always running a promotion.
    This is truly a masterpiece to prevent business failures. 👏 May most of the restaurant owners know these beforehand to increase the chance of success. Thank you for sharing, Wilson! 🙏

      what do you mean? objective of promotions is very important. if you are planning to run a promo for branding purpose, then the profits/revs will not be a KPI to gauge how successful the promotion is. it will be the number of eyes and how much people know about your brand. hope this helps.

    Hi Wilson..... i have no work experince at a cafe... but its my dream to start a cafe... so is it advisble for me to start a cafe without a work experience... but i have been doing so many research on cafe and have been watching so many videos about it... your videos and other videos and face to face comunication with cafe owners... but some advise me that i should not go for it without cafe work expernce.... what do you suggest ???

    • @WilsonKLee
      @WilsonKLee  3 года назад

      If you're able to get that experience then 100%. That way you get a feel of what it is like being on the other side (not as a customer). You say it is your dream to start a cafe, but you haven't got a real taste of what it is like. What you think it is like could be VERY different than reality and you doing it day in day out.
      Even as a barista you atleast see if you like the pace, the servicing, etc. And all those will help you later on :).

    @EldritchContaminated Год назад

    I may not be restaurateur, humble customer merely, but main (sole) reason my foot never stand in many of them again was that food quality dropped rapidly in most of them as owners tried to improve profitability. And I mean in a worst way (spoiled, dirty, artificial additions, etc.) rather than pure efficiency (like McDonalds founders did), class (see vanilla), reducing variety of choice (less menu options) or perceived component of quality (bit less fancy, bit less tasty, similarly safe to your health). Then you have many people involved in making the food, so ethics (doing your best and I do not mean performance) are very important and situation there was far from awensome, one unethical person is a risk, two disaster in making since redundancy level for cooking is around 1 (for example: good product - correctly stored - correctly prepared, you can get away with one getting messed up, but even just two can get dangerous very quickly).

  • @andrewehrmantraut4742
    @andrewehrmantraut4742 2 года назад +1

    You left out the most important reason. Restaurants are the ONLY business people get in to without knowing what they're doing.
    I know how to change my oil, but I wouldn't dare dream of opening a mechanic shop. Yet you hear it all the time in the restaurant business. You're a great cook, you should open a restaurant. Being a good cook is probably the 4th or 5th most important thing.
    Most of these tips could be summed up with 1 point, people don't know what they're doing.
