Starting a New Restaurant

In this two-hour workshop, you will learn the basics of getting started with opening your food-related business. Topics on which will be discussed are:

– Developing a menu
– Writing a business plan
– Predicting sales
– Preparing a cashflow projection
– Renting space and acquiring equipment
– Making what you will be doing special to attract customers

The clear benefit of taking this workshop will be that you’ll be better equipped to present your vision to yourself and others, particularly lenders to finance your business and landlords who will rent space to you.
