This guy knows EXACTLY what he is talking about. Probably the best video on restaurant business out there. Every to-be restaurant owner and current owner should watch!

This is quality advice for anyone thinking about opening up a restaurant. I have friends who opened a restaurant and realized how hard it was because the market is so saturated and you have to find out exactly what your customer is looking for. Going to farmers markets, testing out product, getting first hand customer reviews, giving free food away at a pop-up restaurant to get feedback are just some ways restauranteurs can try to understand what they should offer.
For all resto owners wanna be, I can help you start up. I am a business consultant in this field and u can go ahead and message me on my fb page @insightsbygracie. Let's talk more.

After 30 years owning restaurants I found very interesting to watch that video. I should say that you have to be also: electrician, plumber, chef, psychology expert etc
@bucket ofwater It depends, in which way you operate (Legal Form of your Company). If you take a loan as a Ltd, then they will not take anything from your private posession, unless they find out you were stealing the companies money and etc. But banks are not fools, if you try to get money as a Ltd, you need to convince them, that you will succed, show them a business plan and etc. But, if you ask questions like that, you are definetily not going to succed

My small cafe going to open very soon and I’m just comparing what I might missed in my preparation. Very good indeed. There’s definitely few areas that I need to pay more attention and details after watching this video. Many thanks for the valuable input.
You've got a long road ahead. My advice is to get a job in a restaurant as soon as possible. Make sure the restaurant is not a corporate chain. No Applebees, no McDonald's..... Etc. You'll start as a dishwasher and work your way to line cook. You'll get first-hand experience on how to run a restaurant. I've been cooking professionally for over a decade. Im currently working on getting my own food truck. A food truck is a cheaper option for someone who wants to run their own professional kitchen. Good luck!
I have an idea : it's a new type of restaurants : eating-spots, in an eating-spot, food keeps changing, chefs also rotate, thanks to this rotation of food and chefs, eating-spots are way more powerful than restaurants, along with that, there is an app, people vote for the food that will be cooked in the next days, menu is influenced by the live input of the people via an app, I made this infographic to give more details : ibb.co/TkF9nHs
Start a farmers makret business. Its a great way to get going. Its cheap, you can focus on 1 product or a few, get to know people in your community, give smaples. Cooking the food isnt just about the food, its about building a relationship with your customers. Find out what they want. Find out what the market doesnt have, can you do that. I made homemade hummus, soup, salad and meals to go and make a killing.
Step 1 can actually be thought of another way: Instead of focusing on what your market wants, one can consider if their dream or passion project is wanted somewhere else, and take it there. It's that kind of spirit that has given us the cuisine of many immigrants.
Useful video explaining guest requirements until business management for a successful restaurant business. Operating in the right way with consistency would lead your business
When determining what the market wants most people don’t consider the willingness to pay for those foods. I would love a high end restaurant in Alaska but no one would pay enough for too many of these to be successful.
I totally agree. Proprietors fail because they do not know who to feed. Identifying the target market is crucial in any business. It goes with restaurants too. it determines what kind of dishes you will serve, the concept, arrangement of tables and chairs, even the lighting, etc. To paraphrase Dale Carnegie, " When you go fishing don't bring chocolate that you like most. Bring with you worm because that's what fish like." The focus is on CUSTOMERS.
Its true some try to be the everything restaurant. Restaurant industry is a BRUTALLY competitive market! You have to know how to position yourself different. Be unique!!!

But then there are two kinds of companies: market-driven (you listen to the market and create their demand like what you discussed in this video) and product-driven (you make your own product and own demand for the market to get it which you said “do not listen to your own wants and passions”. Well, this goes false for all entrepreneurs who became successful because they created a demand)
this video has helped me a lot, to build my presentation for school and also at the stage of devaloping the business. thank you sir we need more videos like this specific, to the point and with such a details thank you again

Mistake #1? Opening a restaurant. (Source- I’ve worked in a lot of restaurants). You should definitely open a restaurant IF you’re independently wealthy and can absorb sinking hundreds of thousands of dollars (or millions) into your restaurant while making any money for a year or more without feeling any financial strain. It’s a tough business. The failure rate is really high. For most, The margins are paper thin.
Excellent clear information beautifully delivered. The distinction of the start up and operational tasks is most helpful. Would love some more info on the operational/ systems check lists you advocate. Planning to open a seafood bar on the port in Nice France. Many thanks

Secondly: it is a misnomer that Millennials are so strong on "company values" I can't even tell you how many of these very concerned young people go to small, ethnic or fusion restaurants and never ask about about any of that because the food blows their socks off.

- if you give them what they want, it is profit motivated , not so good, low quality . if you give what you want, it is passion driven, which gives quality.
Yes, it is important that you love your food and concept but we believe restaurant owners should be MOST passionate about "delighting" their guests. This will motivate to deliver quality, value, hospitality and consistency ie a superior guest experience.

The place that I'm working now just changed management.. But we the staffs are a bit stress with the owner.. it seems like he doesn't know what he is doing.. every single thing he will asked for a discussion...I feel like what is not my task or job becomes my job..If ever one of us tell the owner about anything he always say " Now U give me a problem, what is the solution". Every single time..it's getting annoying and frustrating.. cos sometimes if we asked anything it means we need your help but always end up with that question in our face. honestly i'm not being paid enough for this. HAHAHA.
That attitude will not bring you anywhere. What is the solution? Sucessful people willing to contrubute more, its about growing yourself which open the door to better position. Or maybe u are satisfied at current position.
Fair Market Value. If you're hiring someone to do what you do, what would this person have to be paid? Pay yourself this much. And since you're the owner, adjust for any tax efficiencies. There's your answer.
If you are at planning stage allow yourself a salary. There is no way you should be opening without putting a salary for yourself as part of the running cost. You have to live and you have bills to pay. If you have done some preliminary calculations and are projecting 10k a week you should be giving yourself 5 % of that. Rule of thumb for most restaurants is that if you are lucky you can see 10% of revenue as your profit. If you allot 5% for yourself as a salary you could potentially put the other 5% back into the business.
What would you say the ratio of serving staff to customers should be, considering that too much staff is more expensive and not enough could mean that customers don't return
Very difficult question to answer without background info...what concept are you doing? Fine dining? Quick service? Pub? Bar? Lets base the number of customers on 100 pax. With that lets also assume you are doing a casual restaurant You would need at least 2 people making drinks and tending to the bar, because if you have drink orders piling in and you are busy you dont want your guests waiting. So two shit hot bartenders banging out cocktails would be ideal. Then you would also need wait staff.. for 100 people you would need 5 waiters to ensure that food orders are taken quickly...so lets say for every 20 people 1 waiter. And lets not forget that when you have staff on they clock on and off dependent on how busy you are so its not all 5 waiters on shift at the same time. You staff when you are busy. Then in the kitchen you would have at least 3 people cooking, prepping and assisting. Leaves you at 10 staff.

How do I calculate projected/expected sales...when I need to make sure that my profit should be 1.5 times my investment? P.S. I'm yet to open a restaurant.
Market research after taking into account the location, competitors, and the main types of customers you expect to attract (as that factors into food costs and rent).
Thank you for this video it was very helpful. I would like to get to know more about the startup of a restaurant business. please let me know if there is anyway I can contact you.
How to distinguish a cases when client don't want something from when they just don't know what they can achieve? Example. In my region most restaurants and cafes don't pay attentiont to the atmosphere. Any place, let's just put there a tables and it will be a restaurants. So, how to understand: this is cused by client (they don't care about the view, atmosphere of the place) or client just don't understand HOW it can be. Mistake in this question May cost a lot....
I have been thinking to open one, now I am scaredddddddddddddddd. I managed one before, it was challenging , but I had fun. I am sure owning it is way different than just "managing" it
As a seasoned entrepreneur, to remove fear, I would suggest paying attention to the business u r managing from a new perspective, take some accounting courses, learn about accounting for taxes, and how to analyze accounting data, learn about marketing, and learn excel spreadsheets too, you can begin to learn excel by using them for your personal budget because u can take a class or mess around with the program, but until you use it daily and apply the features... also, you could start entering food events and contests... ie, there is a salsa contest that is open to the public that I intend to test some of my food products on and doing this forced me to track costs and use excel, plus it will force me to get familiar with scaled production, although as a manager, you might not need that... so look for less risky venues to get your feet wet... take your time and take this guys advice... also be careful about partnering and never bring someone in who has not invested money and do not give partners with smaller shares equal say... everyone needs to understand that you have the final say... I should make a video on this topic
The problem with going out and asking what people want is that others already in the buisines could still your unique idea before you have the time to open your restaurant
Rich Marceau yes... I am having a hard time finding more specific info ... most of these videos pretty much confirm what I already know and are general business concepts... it seems difficult to find industry specific info... I have some food service experience, but I think I might spend a year or two working at a place or a few places similar to what I want to open to get insight and experience
Have you guys noticed that : eating out is very difficult and expensive. in an area, typically, you might find an outlet selling pizza, you might sometimes find a restaurant in which meals are quite expensive, and that's it. Here you barely have : very few foods, and they are expensive You can eat almost nothing, Do you guys see ? This model is very inefficient Eating out is nearly impossible Something is definitely missing it is : a restaurant where food keeps changing, food changes every day Chefs also rotate A meal is going to be cheap You get new foods every day. After a period of time : you will have eaten thousands of foods Do you see the difference now ? This model is way better Eating out will finally become possible.
This guy knows EXACTLY what he is talking about. Probably the best video on restaurant business out there. Every to-be restaurant owner and current owner should watch!
That’s me I’ll open my own one I’ll make only 1 of them
I am thinking about a new type of restaurants: eating-spots

Agreed
Are you still running your restaurant?
This is quality advice for anyone thinking about opening up a restaurant. I have friends who opened a restaurant and realized how hard it was because the market is so saturated and you have to find out exactly what your customer is looking for. Going to farmers markets, testing out product, getting first hand customer reviews, giving free food away at a pop-up restaurant to get feedback are just some ways restauranteurs can try to understand what they should offer.

Good thanks
How to distinguish a cases when client don't want something from when they just don't know what they can achieve? Example. In my region most restaurants and cafes don't pay attentiont to the atmosphere. Any place, let's just put there a tables and it will be a restaurants. So, how to understand: this is cused by client (they don't care about the view, atmosphere of the place) or client just don't understand HOW it can be. Mistake in this question May cost a lot....
Very interesting video!
I have been thinking to open one, now I am scaredddddddddddddddd. I managed one before, it was challenging , but I had fun. I am sure owning it is way different than just "managing" it
Java Brown - Did you try it ?, and if so how did it work ??.
Yes, but management experience is half the battle
As a seasoned entrepreneur, to remove fear, I would suggest paying attention to the business u r managing from a new perspective, take some accounting courses, learn about accounting for taxes, and how to analyze accounting data, learn about marketing, and learn excel spreadsheets too, you can begin to learn excel by using them for your personal budget because u can take a class or mess around with the program, but until you use it daily and apply the features... also, you could start entering food events and contests... ie, there is a salsa contest that is open to the public that I intend to test some of my food products on and doing this forced me to track costs and use excel, plus it will force me to get familiar with scaled production, although as a manager, you might not need that... so look for less risky venues to get your feet wet... take your time and take this guys advice... also be careful about partnering and never bring someone in who has not invested money and do not give partners with smaller shares equal say... everyone needs to understand that you have the final say... I should make a video on this topic

You're an idiot. Lmao.
I totally agreeeeee!!!!!
The problem with going out and asking what people want is that others already in the buisines could still your unique idea before you have the time to open your restaurant
Shouldn't "identify reliable and cost-effective suppliers" be included in #2 of the three "steps to success"?
Rich Marceau yes... I am having a hard time finding more specific info ... most of these videos pretty much confirm what I already know and are general business concepts... it seems difficult to find industry specific info... I have some food service experience, but I think I might spend a year or two working at a place or a few places similar to what I want to open to get insight and experience

Have you guys noticed that :
eating out is very difficult and expensive.
in an area, typically,
you might find an outlet selling pizza,
you might sometimes find a restaurant in which meals are quite expensive,
and that's it.
Here you barely have : very few foods, and they are expensive
You can eat almost nothing,
Do you guys see ?
This model is very inefficient
Eating out is nearly impossible
Something is definitely missing
it is : a restaurant where food keeps changing, food changes every day
Chefs also rotate
A meal is going to be cheap
You get new foods every day. After a period of time : you will have eaten thousands of foods
Do you see the difference now ?
This model is way better
Eating out will finally become possible.
thank for good video
Thxxx
