Mario Villegas Seattle -Today’s weather issues, transportation costs, and the continuing rise in the suppliers’ costs of doing business are precipitating increased costs of raw products to restaurants. It is now even more important to be more efficient with one’s food costs. There is not much margin for error or guesswork in the major item on one’s operating statement. I find it interesting that, over all of the years of doing food costing and with all of the tools I’ve used or seen being used, that controlling food costs boils down to just a few small pointers: 1. Vendor Support: It is important for you and your vendors to ensure the specifications of all of the products that fit your concept. The vendor can assist you in adjusting specs to gain better costs without giving up anything on the quality side. Mario Villegas Seattle - In any new business venture good decision-making is vital. Opening a new restaurant requires so many decisions that it's not hard to make some bloopers along the way. The key is not totally missing the mark on the really important issues that can make or break your chances for success. Here are some of the more important common missteps new owners make in areas that play a big role in how well a new restaurant is likely to do. Mario Villegas Seattle - Music, lighting, and decor play a vital role in setting the overall tone and feel of a restaurant. In some cases, it’s attention to detail that really sets a restaurant apart from the competition and keeps customers coming back. It all comes down to the “if a tree falls in the forest” theory. If you have the best food in town, but you have poor lighting, outdated decor, and music that’s reminiscent of your last trip to the dentist’s office, are people really going to want to eat there? Here are some tips on choosing the right music, lighting, and decor for your restaurant: Mario Villegas - Few things strike fear in the heart of a restaurateur more than the sudden, unexpected appearance of a health inspector. Rather than fear a health inspection, however, operators should view the inspectors' inevitable visits as a tool to keep their restaurants clean at all times. Unsanitary conditions result in unsanitary food, which can threaten the very existence of a restaurant. One infection, outbreak, cockroach on the potato skin, and you could be finished. This article will provide a general overview of the inspection mechanism, what you can do to improve your establishment's health inspection score and other tips for running a clean operation. Mario Villegas Seattle : For new restaurateurs, the bar is one of the most vulnerable areas to theft. This is particularly true if you have a booming bar business and a strong bartender. You might not feel the pain of constant theft and skimming, such as a free drink to the bartender's friends here and there, or stealing from the cash register. Complicating the matter is that sometimes the most dangerous bartenders are the best and brightest. Behind the bar is a place where individual talent and charm can be measured in hard cash, and a common and woeful tale is the stellar bartender with a huge following of customers, who is caught stealing from the owners. In that case, even an honest but average bartender might not be able to match the end-of-the-night profits turned in by the thief. Nevertheless, your bar should be a cash cow in your operation, and you should reap every penny of profit that you earn. You are always better off hiring for attitude (and honesty) and training for skill. Mario Villegas - Choosing a point of sale system isn't just an important decision, it is a CRITICALLY important decision. Probably one of the biggest you make as a restaurant operator. The right POS system can literally transform your operation by improving controls, efficiency, decision-making and even sales volume. If properly chosen, a POS can pay for itself in a matter of months. However, choosing the wrong POS can become your worst nightmare. The following steps are designed to help increase your odds of choosing the right and most appropriate POS system for YOUR restaurant. Mario Villegas - Everyone knows that one bad review can have the same impact as ten positive ones. Having a strong online presence can be a key advantage over competitors. Being aware is the first step in managing that online presence. Your responsiveness to your customer’s needs can be a pivotal factor in the success of your business.
