Opening a burger on our own, where to start?

 

Opening a fast food restaurant is a relevant decision in an active, fast-paced life. In this market segment, the leading position is occupied by burgers, bringing profit to their owners and satisfying the taste preferences of customers. Opening your own burger requires clear and careful planning. A business model should be created and analyzed, from detailed market analysis to after-sales service.

Moving to phases of opening a burger restaurant:

 

Location for the Burger Joint

 

When looking for and selecting a suitable premise, it is necessary to take into account a number of features: the liveliness of the street, the number of guests who need to be accommodated, the number of staff. Particular attention should be paid to the organization of the technical part: utility room, toilet rooms, warehouse and dressing room. When you search, you can browse the premises on the OLX website, where a variety of premises are located in all corners of the city. However, it should be borne in mind that there are risks of bumping into unscrupulous tenants and agencies, which in turn will negatively affect the speed and quality of the project. So, on the website 👉  Proriat Real Estate you can browse the catalog of current checked objects, and choose the most suitable option safely and quickly.

Business planning

 

For a successful burger opening, you should carefully analyze the market, target audience and understand their preferences more clearly. Basically, connoisseurs of burgers and fast-food are students, young people and office workers who value their own time and value a quality product. Everyone loves burgers, because they are created for every taste of the client: from traditional products to more unique and sophisticated ones.

How do you attract your target audience? Comprehensive marketing strategy: active social media, promotions, seasonal offers. It should be noted that it is not enough to attract the target audience, it is important to keep them, maintaining a consistently high quality of burgers.

As for the interior of the burger shop, the interior decoration of the hall should create a feeling of comfort and coziness. It is important to create a design taking into account the high average daily traffic and mass demand. It is also necessary to understand that the optimal turnover of the hall is one of the necessary conditions for the profitability of the enterprise.

Mandatory design solutions for a business project: good lighting and bright, colorful colors, because they awaken the appetite.

Clients appreciate the originality and practicality in the design of the premises, but there is also something that remains unchanged – the minimum number of decorative elements, rhythmic electronic music, and high bar tables. You can safely implement these elements without forgetting about the chosen concept of the burger.

Renovation work

 

To comply with sanitary standards and comply with all rules, it is more advisable to order a project from a contractor who specializes specifically in restaurant premises. It is quite possible to decide the main decisions on design, choice of style, arrangement of tables on your own. Regarding exhaust ducts, kitchen equipment, location of communications, this issue must be entrusted to a restaurant production technologist. Contractors carry out a significant and responsible part of the work in the opening of an enterprise.

You can find contractors in architectural bureaus or in companies that trade and rent professional equipment, because the performance of the kitchen and the quality of your product will directly depend on them.

The primary element of successful completion of work is a contract with clearly defined working conditions. The customer can safely monitor compliance with the working conditions in accordance with the tasks specified in the contract. Financial relations should be monitored upon completion of work.

Recruitment

 

The HR director plays an important role in the opening of a new establishment, because the work of the entire team depends on his professionalism. For the opening and successful functioning of a burger, it is necessary: to devote to the empowerment of employees, the quality of work, the achievement of goals and the continuous development of personnel.

Organization of employment processes

 

The author highlights the competencies that an applicant must have in order to obtain a position: responsibility, resistance to stress, benevolence. The formulation of other competencies depends on the concept of the institution and its main goals.

Employee training and motivation

 

It occurs through the creation of programs that allow you to optimize work processes in accordance with the goals of the organization. It is necessary to create and implement training for the development and study of teamwork. The quality of service will depend on well-coordinated work, and this, in turn, will be decisive for retaining customers. Service improvements are linked to customer service. 80% of a visitor’s mood depends on the service process, the rest is just food and atmosphere.

Internal training is necessary for the successful implementation of the project, taking into account the basic needs of the company: training of new specialists, advanced training.

The above listed work is the key to the successful and long-term functioning of the burger.

Burger joint opening phase

 

How to open a burger shop? The premises are repaired, employees are hired and trained – you can start working in the mode of training and debugging processes. So, you can track with what difficulties arise, and where the processes are absolutely debugged. It is possible to open the kitchen in “technical mode”, and work at a minimum load from one to two weeks. This period will demonstrate a real readiness for opening, because you can finally establish technical processes, face difficulties and by solving them. Exclusively after this stage, you can start working, trying to attract the maximum number of visitors, because by that time you will be confident in the quality of your product and the preparedness of your staff.

Effective management of restaurant finances

 

There is a certain turnover of finance in the burger shop: purchase of products → profit from sales → payment of salaries to staff, etc. Part of the profit is in the cash flow, and it is very important to regularly monitor them. To monitor your finances, you should plan your restaurant’s monthly expenses, which includes non-recurring and operating expenses.

As stated earlier, a comprehensive marketing strategy will attract a huge number of guests. Promotion in social networks, creation of promotional offers, thematic days – all of the above measures will help attract new customers. However, word of mouth is the key, because in the company of friends there will certainly be a conversation about the best burger in the city. Your main task is to top this list.
