Why Restaurant Fail & Costly


Some people dream of having their own business and they try to select a business that they think they can manage. In the top ten small business choices to start in Maryland, Washington DC Metropolitan Area is a restaurant that sells ethnic-styled food. There is a great diversity of ethnic people that live in the Maryland, Washington DC Metropolitan Area. However, many restaurant businesses fail in the first two years due to a lack of preparation and then to struggle with breaking a long-term commercial lease. To start a restaurant business you have to create a business plan and determine every situation because you will be responsible for the entire remainder of the lease even if the business fails.

One of the most important parts of the plan in the restaurant business is the menu. The menu does not need to have every dish under the sun but should have the best dishes that people like and you specialize in. The best dishes people like should be researched and a recipe for each dish should be part of the plan. This may require experimenting at home and develop uniqueness for your dish that people love.

A recipe for disaster is using a substitute ingredient for any original dish after you had created the ingredients that customers like. If you create a dish using butter, but instead you use margarine because you ran short on butter, the taste will be different. Switching up an ingredient can cost you a lot of customers. For example, A person buys your food for the first time when you had butter in the food and it gave it the flavor that peaks that person’s taste. The second time the person comes back to get more of the same tasting food that was bought the first time it does not taste the same. That person may have driven out of their way with the expectation of that reminisced taste and the person is deeply disappointed with the food that tastes disgusting. Something like this may seem simple but when multiplied, this is one of the main examples of how many restaurants fails.

The Recipe is the heart of a restaurant. Once an effective recipe is created it must be followed to the letter. That means no one person should have power over the restaurant's success. Some restaurant is dependent on the cook, and if the cook gets upset and leaves so does the restaurant; the taste that people come to love in your restaurant will be gone with the cook.

People want to eat at a place that has good food and it is prepared in a clean place. People are always watching and judge how you handle the food. People will observe how you handle other people’s food and thinking if their food is being handled the same way; Beit good or bad. For instance, emptying a garbage container or coughing in your hand without washing your hands before you pick up a cookie with your bare hands to put on a person’s plate. Another example, a person goes to use the bathroom in your restaurant and the bathroom smells of urine, plumbing does not work correctly, the floor is dirty, and paper is out of place, or no paper to use. Most people will think that if the employees use the same bathroom and the bathroom is disgusting, then the food is also prepared in filth.

Some people may complain about the food not tasting good and you do not want to return their money because of the no refund policy. When these many situations happen the customers also have a policy of their own and it is a do not return policy. A restaurant especially, rather than any other business should seek feedback from every customer. It also shows customers that you take pride in your service and it is part of reinforcement marketing of your care.

Downsizing for Retirement

“I met my girlfriend in college who later became my wife. After we both graduated from college and pursue our careers we thought of having kids. After about five years we were able to save enough money to make a down payment for the house of our dreams. We got a single-family colonial 5 bedroom house. At the time we wanted a house big enough that we could raise a family. Our kids are all grown now and have started their own families. We do not see them much other than sometimes on Christmas. Though we have created lasting memories in the house it is feeling too big to manage and maintain. Both my wife and I have both been retired for a few years and are on limited retirement benefits. I have arthritis in my knee and it is perplexing to climb the steps every day to go up to my bedroom that often time I sleep on the sofa in the family room. When I was younger it was easier to do things around the house but climbing ladders, mowing the lawn, snow removal, etc., is too much at my age. The ...

How Home Value Works

The real estate market in the United States is on its way up again. You can see prices rising in most cities. Real estate is similar to the stock market; stock that rises can fall as well. As opposed to the Stock Market, the best thing with real estate is that if the real estate market crashes, you have something tangible to hold onto rather than valueless pieces of paper.  The main thing you should be mindful of in real estate is to know the value of your real estate at all times. Like the stock market, many things can influence the rise and fall in the market value of real estate. Real estate can rise when the demographics changes from a predominantly low-income renter’s occupied property to owner’s occupied property. It also has to do with the income bracket of the owners. Frequently some may think it is the real estate property and the improvements that add real estate value to the real estate property, which is not entirely true.  The most significant influence on...

Sellers Get Top Dollar For House

You have decided that it is time to move on from the house you have lived in for many beautiful years. Now "parting is such sweet sorrow," as William Shakespeare would put it. It is now hard to cut ties with the house, and you would like to get someone that will appreciate the value you have put into it. After all, you have put your personality into making the home what it is. With your entire accolade, you feel you should get top dollar for your home. The problem with that thought usually arises when sellers become subjective regarding the listing price on the market for sale. When sellers are emotional in thinking about their house value, they can become irrational in determining a sale price for their home. It also becomes difficult for a professional real estate agent to advise them on how to change the negatives of their property in preparation to get top market value for their home. There is an old saying, "can't see the forest but for the tree." Often, a ...
