When you have a clear picture of these 3 key aspects of your restaurant business, you will have a better idea of where you may want to start your first restaurant outlet.
The next challenge you will face is finding the right suppliers. You will have to look for ingredient suppliers that can provide you with good quality ingredients consistently at a good price.
The internet is a great way to start looking for suppliers. However, to get the best deals, you may have to look for suppliers around you and talk to someone, even if it is a salesperson, to see things in person and help you through the decision process.
This is one of the most challenging to manage in any F&B business. In Singapore, many locals are not willing to work the long hours that the F&B industry requires. Most are part-timers and they will not commit for long. This forces many restaurant operators to look for foreign manpower which is not cheap, given the high levies imposed by the government.
Self Ordering Solutions: A great alternative to manpower
A great alternative is to use self ordering digital solutions to reduce your restaurant’s reliance on manpower. QR ordering, self ordering kiosks and online food ordering can handle high order volumes with 100% accuracy.
While these digital solutions require an upfront investment, it is subsidized by government grants. In the long run, it will be more cost-effective than hiring more manpower to match the demands of your growing restaurant.
