What to Look For Before Buying a Restaurant

Location, Location, Location

Like real estate, location extremely important. If your restaurant is located in an accessible and populated area, then the restaurant is likely to survive. The downside is that the competitors will run rampant in areas that are well-sought after. In contrast, if you buy a restaurant in a quiet neighborhood, it would be harder to survive.

Patience, patience, patience

Unless you are Gordon Ramsey or Jamie Oliver, your newly opened restaurant will likely not be packed and it will be hard to get a reservation for the first couple of months. Now is the time to learn how to persevere and believe in yourself and your business. It will most likely take more than a year for your restaurant to break even.

Detailed Business & Marketing Plans

A business plan will serve as a road map to guide your business and business decisions. Banks will want to see your business plan to obtain financing, and it will help you to govern your business when it comes to staff and inventory management. Remember a good business plan is fluid and can be changed as your business grows.
