There are many people in this world with fantastic ideas like, “IF I open a restaurant like this” or “If I serve food like this.” This is the kind of approach that will make a restaurant thrive.
“Someday…”
There are countless numbers of people with dreams of stepping into the restaurant business. However, only a handful pursues that dream. This is because most of them give up, afraid of possible failure.
Then again, is vigor enough to turn that dream into reality?
The answer is NO.
Every year, a fair number of restaurants successfully open in NY. However, the race to survive in NY is much harsher than everyone would think. In fact, an average of only 2 out of every 10 newly opened restaurants survives within the first 5 years. It is unfortunate to say that more than 80% of these restaurants are cornered into a situation where they have no other option but to close permanently. Why is that?
It is because most people only have the knowledge and experience in their respective areas. A professional chef will excel at creating new recipes and training new chefs just how a professional salesman will excel at giving great deals and service and training new salesmen. However in order to succeed they will need the knowledge and experience in all the other fields as well.
How many years does it take to acquire the knowledge for your field of expertise?
It should have taken at least 5, even 10 years to get to your current position. Now as a proprietor of a restaurant you will be required to obtain a significant amount of knowledge. However unlike last time, taking 5 years is not an option. Once the organization is in its tracks, it is inevitable to prevent continuing problems and it will be essential for the manager to be able to make precise decisions instantly.
For example, what will you do in each of the following situations?
If there is to be a 5% cost cut…
If you notice that employee motivation is decreasing…
If an anticipated employee all of a sudden quits…
If you could not get an extension on the store lease…
If you were ordered to close by the FDA…
How did you do? Were you able to deal with each situation? If an answer did not occur to you instantaneously, it will be difficult for you to manage a restaurant.
However, even if the answer did not occur to you…
