Would you like to commence a restaurant or bar business in
Nigeria? This is a nice idea and this article is specifically
designed for you.
A restaurant business is a lucrative endeavour because
people can't help but to require the services of such owners
to satisfy their hungry tommies.
One of the perfect Nigerian cities to launch a restaurant in is
Lagos State why? Lagos is a very busy place, a city bustling
with steady human activities. Lagos has been listed by
wikipedia as one of the world's busiest cities, and home to
Afvrica's richest Man and one of the world's richest Men in
the person
of Alhaji Aliko Dangote. In Lagos everything goes, every
business thrives, every idea sells. For one thing, due to the
busy schedule of its inhabitants and the incessant and
unavoidable Lagos traffic, people are rarely able to cook and
eat at home especially bachelors and single ladies because
they have to wake as early as 4;30 am to prepare for work
just so they can swerve traffic and avoid being late to work,
also most of the white-collar jobbers return home as late as
10:30 pm, so it is understandable that they are not able to
eat neither breakfast, lunch nor dinner at home, logically
such ones would depend on fast food and restaurants to
service their bellies.
Nonetheless, besides Lagos there are so many other active
cities in Nigeria where restaurants are good business. This
article discusses principles for starting up a restaurant
business applicable to any part of Nigeria and in extension
Globally!
So then, let's highlight practical steps in starting up a
restaurant or bar business in Nigeria.
1... GET SOME SKILLS
Everyone is a cook, at least we all make what we eat so we
can agreeably be called cooks! However in terms of
commencing or running a restaurant
business with the hope and intention of succeeding
with it, basic cooking knowledge isn't just enough and this is
because people have different tastes, your prospective
customers all do not have a single taste that is common to
them. This means that you need to having some cooking
skills other than what you already know in other to be able
to serve them satisfactorily while doing so from a common
standpoint which accomodates all their individual savoring.
So you'd need to learn from the experts or people who are
already doing well in the catering industry even if you'll have
to pay for this knowledge,
its worth the dime spent on it.
2... GET AN ESTIMATE
When setting up a plan for erecting a building, financial
costs is one of the most sensitive aspects to consider
because the fund required to erect a two-bedroom flat and
that for standing a four-bedroom flat has an obvious
marginal difference. So it is imperative that you take a
monetary research and find out just how much might be
enough for launching your start-up and running it gainless
for a few weeks at least. Ask around, ask for the cost of
specific items on your budget list and get an overall
estimate for your exercise. With this, you have a
better knowledge of what you're getting into to avoid being
overwhelmed by practical facts.
3... FIND A SUITABLE LOCATION
Location is an important factor that is also as sensitive as
finance to consider. What would happen to a school situated
in the middle of the market in terms of its learning
environment? Very noisy and practically inconducive for
learning. Similarly, situating your restaurant or bar at the
wrong posture would not only delay your success but might
as well burn up your capital if you sleep at it.
4... FIND A SUPPLIER OF FRESH AND GOOD
MATERIALS
Restaurants need a steady supply of fresh green vegetables,
packaged meals like fufu (if you can't make it), good red
meat, drinks and the likes. Taking it upon yourself to always
go to the market and scout for all of these items might be
very hectic and strenous in terms of purchasing and
conveyance to your shop, so it is best to have a steady and
standby supplier of good cooking materials and if you must
be in the market yourself to buy some of these items, then it
should be the minority of your stuffs.
5... ADVERTISE
Yes, advertising your bar or restaurant even before
commencing operation is one way of gauranteeing and
establishing success with it. Talk to friends about your
plans, project your idea to your family, tell your present
colleagues about what you intend doing, not
for them to discourage you but for them to be aware and
visit to patronize you as well as lend any physical support or
financial help they can afford. Also in the vicinity of where
you plan to establish, create a
physical awareness of your business to people
around, perhaps by telling a few people around and asking
them for suggestions on how to get good supplies.
Getting done with these processes means you're now ready
to launch your catering empire of food services.
