Bowmanville Opening a new restaurant or buying an existing one are among the most popular ways of going into business for oneself. oneself. It's easy to see why. Canadians dine out in such large numbers that there is always room -- or soit appears - for another good restaurant, whether fast food or gourmet in character. Appearances, however, are particularly deceiving in this instance. The market may be there but it is an exceptionally demanding one. It is so demanding demanding that, according to the Canadian Restaurant and Food Services Association, eight of 10 restaurants close their doors within three years of opening. The basic problem is that many entrepreneurs choose the restaurant business because because they are sociable by nature and see a restaurant as an opportunity to play the gracious host on a professional professional level. Or they enjoy cooking and see a restaurant as an opportunity to expand an entertaining hobby into a profitable profitable business. Often, too, the entrepreneur has dined out so frequently that he or she has a head full oi ideas for improving the menu, making the decor more attractive attractive and raising the quality of the service. It's obviously important to be a good host, to enjoy cooking cooking and have one's own ideas for a better restaurant. But they are not by themselves enough to assure the restaurant restaurant will be successful. Sometimes Sometimes they can stand in the way of success as when too much time spent being a good host leaves too little time to be a good manager. A restaurant is, first of all, a business and must be approached approached in this way. It is, moreover, a business in which there is very little margin for error.

However imaginative the decor, it's unlikely to generate much repeat business if the service is sloppy or the prices too high. Suppose location, menu and all other aspects of the restaurant restaurant are exactly right. Does that assure success? Not at all. To be successful, the restaurant must also be profitable. profitable. In the intensely competitive competitive restaurant business, profitability profitability most often depends upon the owner's ability to hold down costs. Again, many entrepreneurs approach the restaurant business in terms of what they would like to offer their patrons patrons rather than in terms of what it would cost them to do so. Their starting point should be the careful budgetting of every item of food and drink, including the garnish for the former and the ice for the latter. They need to calculate time of preparation, frequency with which specific dishes are served and figure in the inevitable inevitable additional costs from spoilage and wastage. All this requires a high degree of careful careful planning and effective management.
