Throughout Europe, you can find thousands of restaurants, fast food restaurants, dining options and canteens. However, according to statistics, Poland is far behind and definitely deviates from the average. It turns out that in our country there are only 15 eateries for every 10,000 people. This is definitely less than in other western countries, where the result is at least three times better.
Businesses interested in fast food should start by finding a good location that is usually a guarantee of success. For this purpose, premises located in the city center, close to large housing estates, on busy routes or strategic and crowded places (eg shopping mall, stadium, airport, station) are best suited.
The owner's goal should be to quickly sell meals in a short time and for little money. Do not focus on careful preparation, high-quality products and sublime flavors. Of course, if the cook is able to provide all of the previously mentioned, the better. However, the assumption is to find hungry customers who would like to eat a dish (not always healthy) for a few zlotys.
Of course, when choosing a restaurant where you will find a restaurant, you need to pay a lot of attention to finding the right location. It is best to drive the premises near the expressways, in the vicinity of schools and universities, as well as various tourist attractions. You have to remember that in the case of such a type of premises, the most important thing is the highest turnover, that is a large number of customers. It is quite a sale that allows you to keep prices at a relatively low level. The best way to attract customers is to choose a place where a lot of people are circling. At the same time, the selected premises must meet specific technical requirements. The correct surface is very important. The amount to be guaranteed will depend on whether the food will be served on-site or sold to go. This second solution makes matters much easier and reduces costs, but at the same time it will not always work in every place. The restaurant should accommodate all necessary rooms and necessary equipment that will be used for preparing meals.
Depending on the proposed dishes, you need to get the right equipment and people to handle it. If it is only the sale of grilled chicken, then it is enough to buy an electric grill and employ staff because of shift service (one person cooks food, cuts and portions, handles and carries out transactions (payment by card - XXI century requirement and cash). immediately you need to increase the budget, increase the facilities and take care of all the staff (cook, cook's helper, waiter, salesman, driver, supplier).
Taking into account the contemporary reality, the initial capital should amount to minimum 30,000. PLN (it is worth having several thousand more to be able to function for the first months). Most of the fees will be related to renting the service area and paying all bills.
Undoubtedly, it will be easier and cheaper to join the franchise network and operate under the name of a known and recognizable brand. Very favorable conditions, limited costs, documentation (sanitary issues, health and safety) and accounting are dealt with by the headquarters and help in case of financial problems.
