Don’t be misled by the early crowd coming to the restaurant. This is only half the battle. If you do not do have a good service when guests first come in, they won’t come back; if you’re not consistent, they’ll leave; and if you do not provide a total experience they will find it somewhere else.
Location : If you are starting out in the restaurant business, location is one of the most important ingredients to success. Although location is important, it can also work against you. Selecting a location in a high foot traffic means the rent will likely be higher and the competition stiffer. Select your location based upon the type of restaurant and concept you want to run and price the menu accordingly to the market. Also leverage a good commercial real estate firm to assist you with the selection of the location.
