Learning How To Buy A Coffee Maker

By John McKain

Coffee lovers and caffeine addicts all over have argued for years and years over which type of coffee maker makes the best coffee. The question will never been answered satisfactorily since it's merely a matter of personal choice. And there are many choices!

Originally, coffee beans were chewed like vitamins or even candy. The effects were well known by ancient civilizations as they fed them to warriors before battles. Their descendants, however, figured out a more pleasurable way to enjoy coffee beans, and thus was invented real brewed coffee.

Even cowboys came to love their coffee as they herded cattle and led wagon trains out West. Many still believe that the only true perfect cup of coffee can be achieved using a percolator over an open fire. Cowboys didn't care about sugar and milk, they drank their coffee black - and sometimes thick. The same percolators were used at home, over the open fire of a stove. And anyone who ever percolated a pot of coffee will tell you the same thing - percolators boil over and can cause quite the mess!

Fast forward to the late 1950s. A leading houseware manufacturer invented the electric percolator and women scooped them up by the thousands. These worked on the same principle - water boiling up through the coffee grounds - but they had built it controls and monitoring devices to virtually prevent any messy mishaps. Just follow the simple directions and within minutes you'll have very good cup of java.

In the early 1970s an even newer coffee maker - the "drip" model - was brought to market and, once again, housewives couldn't buy them fast enough. The results were the same but the technology differed a bit. Instead of the water boiling up through a holder where the coffee grounds were placed and turning into coffee as they flowed back down again, the water was boiled separately and dripped little by little from the top, through the grounds. The difference was that water only hit the coffee grounds once, as opposed to the percolator method where the coffee would keep recycling through the wet grounds.

The 1980s brought us gourmet coffee, and coffee houses began to flourish all over. No longer limiting their selections to plain coffee, java lovers learned how to enjoy the likes of latte and espresso on a daily basis. Manufacturers met the task of making espresso machines for household use and, once again, people couldn't buy them fast enough.

American technology didn't advance much further so we looked towards other cultures and borrowed from them. We became fascinated with the French press and what we call "the Cuban coffee maker". Both of these coffee makers tend to produce a very rich, and very strong cup of coffee, not always appreciated by the average American coffee lover. These two machines make coffee in the typical "drip" method, however, the grounds are very fine thereby holding onto the water for a longer time, increasing the strength of the ultimate brew.

Bottom line - no matter what kind of coffee you like, or how you prefer to make it, there are plenty of options available to choose from. - 30543

Reaching the Ranks of Restaurant Elite

By Jose L Riesco

To establish your location as one of the restaurant elite, you need to set it apart from its competitors, have something special to offer and make people create a buzz for you. This should be the goal of any aspiring restaurateur as they set out to develop a distinguished location.

While the consumption of food is a necessary chore for us human beings, we have nevertheless turned it into a social occasion. When we eat food it needs to be more than just a task and the entire food industry has evolved to take this into account. It is, of course, not enough to just provide a table, chair, utensils and food, regardless of how nutritious it may be and a restaurateur must strive to make the total experience top class.

To be able to qualify for the list of restaurant elite, a business must be able to offer its diners a totally seamless experience. This experience starts before the visitor actually leaves home to travel to the restaurant, as reputation must precede and will take a lot of time and dedication to establish.

Primarily, for the client to really remember the experience at your establishment, you have to get everything right. A lot of this will stem from your pre-opening. The ambience and the decor must be conducive to the presented style and you must pay total attention to detail in every respect to be considered restaurant elite.

Some people would say that many elements required to classify your eatery as one of the restaurant elite are out of your actual control. To a certain extent, this is true, but once you have clicked everything into place, a lot of it will follow naturally. For example, you may have the perfect package but if you do not have an appropriate number of clients, then each client's party will not be able to get the complete experience that they need.

Customer service is everything and as a restaurateur it must be top of your list. Presentation of food and quality is obviously paramount, but you must focus on the manner in which it is delivered. Choose your service staff wisely and make sure they are educated. Their attention must be given in just the right amount and at the right time.

You should ensure that your business takes on the look of a military operation, as timing is absolutely essential when it comes to delivering a perfect customer experience and qualifying as restaurant elite. All members of your staff must be part of this operation and it is up to you to establish a fully comprehensive plan that all understand. One chain out of place and the whole experience is ruined.

Your goal as a business owner is to ensure that when clients leave the building they are so happy with their experience that they are ready to recommend you to their friends. To establish this and move toward your goal on the list of restaurant elite, you must ensure that passion is evident throughout the operation and flows from yourself down. It doesn't matter what theme and style you have chosen, every member must be committed to doing more than what it takes to make it work. - 30543

Visual Cues Add to the Dining Experience

By Amy Nutt

People want a dining experience that allows them to take a break from their everyday problems and stresses. As soon as people walk into a restaurant, their assessment of the establishment begins. If they do not like the appearance and atmosphere of the restaurant, they are likely to turn around and walk out. The visual cues are fundamental components to attracting and retaining diners.

The atmosphere of a restaurant should project a sense of friendliness and relaxation. It should be attractive, clean, with well dressed wait staff. The atmosphere is one part of the dining experience that is remembered. For the restaurant owner, the atmosphere along with the food is essential qualities that will encourage repeat diners.

The ambience of the restaurant must be pleasing to the eye. Ambience will depend on the type of restaurant such as luxury, informal, or fast food. With formal or luxury restaurants, a restaurant's ambience should reflect elegance. The restaurant can create an ambience by using such furnishings as fresh flowers, professional paintings, candles, soft music such as classical, linen napkins and tablecloths. There will also be elegant dress code with waitstaff in stylish and professional uniforms. Male servers will be wearing ties.

The atmosphere should emanate warmth and a welcoming. Many restaurants will use certain colors to help enhance the ambience. Colors will reflect the theme. If it is a romantic restaurant, colors will be subtle and the lighting will be dim, but the candles will provide the right amount of lighting to see one another and their meals. The color green emphasizes restfulness and tranquility. Violet and purple emphasizes elegance and sophistication. Yellow emphasizes cheerfulness and warmth. The decor will say to a diner that the restaurant is elegant, stylish, and comfortable.

Luxury restaurants provide some of the loveliest atmosphere to enjoy a meal. Most restaurants take great care in their decor, design, and lighting, in order to provide a comfortable and pleasing ambience. Restaurants that focus on a particular ethnic theme, such as Italian, Chinese, or Mexican, the furnishings and decorations will reflect and enhance the ethnic design. There may also be music to add to the ambience such as a certain type of music like romantic soft music, or there may be a performer such as a harpist, pianist, or a classical guitar player.

The aroma is an important part of a restaurant's atmosphere. The aroma should be pleasing. For instance, an elegant restaurant may have a scent of flowers in the air. As well, people enjoy such aromas as fresh brewed coffee and oven-baked bread. Unpleasant odors will only cause a diner to leave and never return.

The temperature of the restaurant should make a diner comfortable. In the winter, the dining room should be warm and cozy. In the summer, it should be comfortably cool. The proper temperature allows the customer to relax and enjoy their meal.

Designing the best and most appealing atmosphere takes careful planning. It should be designed to attract a large number of people. The atmosphere taps into one's senses such as sight, touch, smell, and hearing. The right atmosphere can relax guests and generate contentment as well as repeat customers. The proper atmosphere and food can make the dining experience pleasant, relaxing, and memorable. - 30543

Which Coffee Maker Should I Buy?

By John McKain

True coffee lovers have been known to engage in some very heated arguments over which type of coffee maker actually produces the best coffee. The answer? It all depends. It's as simple as that.

Ever since it was discovered that a liquid could be brewed from the coffee beans that, until the 16th century, had been eaten like vitamins to help warriors through battles and fight off fatigue, caffeine addicts have developed multiple methods to make the perfect cup of coffee.

Many agree that there is nothing better than a pot of coffee percolated over an open camp fire. Cowboys and cattle rustlers drank their coffee like this for decades sans the luxuries of cream or sugar. For those who chose to stay closer to home, the stove top percolator did the trick just fine. However, one of the drawbacks of these percolators is that they tend to perk all over the place if not watched carefully.

These percolators, however, were used well into the 1950s when a new invention came about - the electric percolator. Housewives fell in love with these new coffee makers because boiling over accidents became a thing of the past. Water temperature was regulated, and ingredients were measured. A perfect cup of coffee was guaranteed if you just did what you were supposed to.

No major changes occurred until the 1970s when the drip coffee maker showed up. Housewives loved this new invention as well and many families even preferred the end result. These drip coffee makers did just that - they dripped. They water would be trickled from above, over the coffee grounds, and the coffee would drip into the pot. Water was kept separate and only touched the coffee grounds once, as opposed to a percolator where the coffee would continue to bubble through the grounds. Of course, what many women really loved was the fact that they could buy one to match their kitchen; they came in a variety of popular colors of the day from white to avocado.

The 1980s brought us gourmet coffee, and coffee houses began to flourish all over. No longer limiting their selections to plain coffee, java lovers learned how to enjoy the likes of latte and espresso on a daily basis. Manufacturers met the task of making espresso machines for household use and, once again, people couldn't buy them fast enough.

American technology didn't advance much further so we looked towards other cultures and borrowed from them. We became fascinated with the French press and what we call "the Cuban coffee maker". Both of these coffee makers tend to produce a very rich, and very strong cup of coffee, not always appreciated by the average American coffee lover. These two machines make coffee in the typical "drip" method, however, the grounds are very fine thereby holding onto the water for a longer time, increasing the strength of the ultimate brew.

Whether you prefer your coffee strong, average, or even a variety, there's a machine to suit your needs. - 30543

Choosing the Right Bar Stool

By John Moore

Bar stools can be a funky addition to any room. Historically relegated to the old pubs of the United Kingdom, bar stools are now a must have seating solution in many homes. You can now find bar stools in kitchens, bedrooms, and outdoor patios just to name a few places. With a little creativity a bar stool can be easily accommodated in any room of the house.

Once you've decided what room you might like to add bar stools to, now the job of figuring out how to choose a perfect style begins. There are a couple of factors to keep in mind before you make your final choice. The only limitations really are the size, and beyond that, your taste and decor will be the major influencing factors.

Once you have the theme worked out, then you need to decide what height your bar or table will be, so that you can then choose the appropriately sized bar stools. The standard bar stool height is 30". This is sized to fit appropriately with the standard bar height of 42" (or 40-44 inches). However you may decide that your kitchen is more suited for a breakfast bar height counter, in which case you will want to find a style available in the 24 inch height.

With the height of your table or bar determined you will have a final barstool height that you can go shopping with. Now you just need to browse the almost infinite number of styles and colors to find the perfect choice for your theme. A few key characteristics which will help to narrow down your options are 1) back or no back, 2) swivel or fixed, 3) wood or metal 4) cloth or leather upholstery 4) round or square shaped seats. Aside from style, one of the biggest factors for me is comfort, and having a back on my barstools is definitely the option that I tend to choose.

Last but not least you should narrow down the materials that the bar stools will be made of. There are a lot of lightweight metal stools available today, and they make very good modern alternatives to the standard hardwood highback swivel seat stools. The other major material to consider is whether to pick an upholstered version, and if so whether you want fabric or leather. Nothing beats the luxury and ease of maintenance that leather offers, but upholstered versions will be available in an almost infinite number of color and pattern options.

Whatever style you decide is right for you, just remember to take the main elements of a bar stool into account when you are shopping and you will certainly be able to find a perfect stool to fit your decor. The biggest decision you need to finalize is the height, otherwise your options are pretty much endless, and whatever you choose is certain to spice up your home. - 30543

Dine at a Fancy Restaurant Economically

By Amy Nutt

In this current troubled economic period, many people have had to trim their budgets to make ends meet. Many people think that eating at fancy restaurants is one activity they have to eliminate from their budget. Fortunately, there are things you can do to greatly reduce your restaurant bill if you dine at a fancy restaurant.

1. The most expensive time to eat at a fancy restaurant is during the evening. To get a much cheaper meal, have lunch at an expensive restaurant. Most restaurants offer scaled down meals at lunch time at a much cheaper price. It is important to find out when the lunch hours end and dinner hours begin so you don't end up paying for a dinner meal.

2. Many fancy restaurants will offer special promotions in the newspaper where they will provide a coupon for a discount on a dinner. Make sure you check the local newspaper to see if there are any special discounts being offered by a fancy restaurant.

3. Some fancy restaurants will offer a type of "happy hour" such as between 4:00pm and 6:00pm. During this time they will offer inexpensive items from their regular menu. This type of promotion may be offered in a lounge area.

4. Many fancy restaurants will offer brunch on certain days such as Sunday. They may have a buffet or special discounts on meals. These meals are usually much cheaper than their standard dinner meals. Don't forget about cheap breakfast and brunch menus on during the off-season.

5. Fancy restaurants will have delicious appetizers. You can orders several different appetizers and share them with a friend or spouse.

6. Share the entree with the person you are dining with. Entrees can often be such dishes as a platter of different types of food such as seafood.

7. Considering drinking water instead of soda or alcohol. These beverages are expensive so drinking only water will cut down on the price of the meal. You can squeeze a little lemon in it for flavor.

8. If it is possible, order and eat an appetizer before you place your order. You will then be somewhat full and will be less likely to order more food than you need.

9. Desserts at a fancy restaurant can be very expensive. You can cut down on your dining bill if you cut out the desserts.

10. A great way to make the most out of an expensive meal is to take leftovers home. If you have enough food, you will have a meal at home the next day. Consider this option when reviewing the menu.

11. Eat a snack before you go to the restaurant. Such food as carrot or apple pieces will satisfy some hunger so you won't over order. Consider it an appetizer.

Eating at a fancy restaurant does not have to blow your monthly budget. Just practice a couple of cost cutting tips and you can have a great meal at a great price. - 30543

There Is More To Italian Cheeses Than You Think

By Luigi DeMarco

You can find over four hundred varieties of Italian cheeses in Italy. In the United States, we normally only think of four of those varieties when we think of Italian foods.

Many people only think of the cheeses used in Americanized Italian foods. That includes mozzarella which is used in pizza, Parmesan used to sprinkle over spaghetti, provolone used in a sandwich, and ricotta used in lasagna.

In addition to our limited view of the number of cheeses of Italy, we also get nothing near the original from our grocer's shelves.

Most of the mozzarella sold in the grocery store is made from cow's milk. Traditional mozzarella in Italy is made of the milk of the water buffalo. Additionally, this cheese is a fresh cheese in Italy and should be consumed quickly after preparation. It is not a cheese that is stored for months at a time before use. Fresh mozzarella and fresh bread sprinkled with a little salt makes a wonderful taste treat. You can also find fresh mozzarella and tomatoes sliced together and coated in olive oil and basil served as a salad.

Parmesan is a hard cheese that is formed into large wheels. Freshly grated Parmesan is a tasty addition to pasta and melts to combine with cream and butter very well. It in no way resembles the dry powder that is sold in cans at the supermarket.

Italian provolone is a table cheese. Provolone is made from whole cows milk and is aged for four months or longer. It is traditionally in the shape of a pear.

Ricotta is another fresh Italian cheese. This cheese dated back to the Roman times. Italian ricotta is made with whole milk and is much sweeter than the sour and watery part skim ricotta sold in tubs. Since it is easy to make ricotta at home, you can have fresh ricotta at any time. Simply bring whole milk and cream to a boil. Use a little lemon juice to cause to curdle and strain through cheese cloth. Refrigerate in a covered container. The ricotta needs to be used within 48 hours.

Italians buy their dairy products at a dairy store. Some of these stores make their own cheeses. This means that the fresh cheesed you purchase today may have been made today in a very old tradition.

There are many other Italian cheeses available. Some are local to one region. Italian blue cheese, veined like Roquefort, is said to be an excellent choice to melt with butter and garlic to serve over pasta.

One of the best ways to try the many cheeses of Italy is to take time to visit the country its self. While there, spend time eating at the many local dining establishments and ask about the cheeses that you are eating. The more you can learn, the more likely you will be able to find a similar cheese when you are back home. - 30543

Disneyworld Restaurants

By Amy Nutt

Disneyworld is the place where dreams come true. It is an amusement park that takes visitors around the world exploring different themed areas and even gives people the potential to learn a little bit about cultures across the globe in a fun and exciting way. Besides the rides and neat gift shops, Disneyworld also has a collection of the best tasting food from around the world. For anyone who has been curious to try cuisines that are hard to find anywhere else in America, Disneyworld restaurants are the places to do it.

No matter what kind of food people are in the mood for, Disneyworld and its resorts provide multiple places to go to get great food and awesome atmosphere. For American food Disneyworld has a few options that each have a very elaborate setting. There's the World Premier Food Court which lets diners enjoy a theater type setting while enjoying classic food such as burgers, pizza, fries, and even breakfast food like omelets and pancakes. The Intermission Food Court found in the All-Star Music Resort has the same types of food but fills the area with murals of iconic musical figures. Sports fans will enjoy the End Zone Food Court with its stadium themed setting.

Once you get into the park itself there are still even more options available. The Rainforest Caf is a chain that serves lunch and dinner in a jungle themed area. Enjoy delicious pasta, chicken, and vegetarian meals under the rainforest canopy. Animated animals enhance the atmosphere. Other themed restaurants include Chinese food with Eastern artifacts, African cuisine with a very safari themed atmosphere, and an indoor "garden" with tasty sandwiches. There are over one hundred places to eat at Disneyworld and no two places are alike.

For the adults enjoying a romantic and exciting vacation there are lots of classy restaurants too, complete with alcoholic beverages. From Martha's Vineyard with delicacies such as seafood and imported beer to the Crystal Palace, which serves a buffet and has visits from beloved Disney characters. There is something to suit every mood.

People traveling to Disneyworld won't have time to eat at every location, even if they were to stay an entire summer. Before anyone makes caa travel plans they should look through the very long list of restaurants to see if any stand out ahead of time. It's always fun to explore and try a new place spur of the moment but it would be terrible to go home and find out that there was a restaurant that had exactly what you wanted. Since some of the restaurants are located in certain places such as hotels and resorts, knowing which places a person wants to eat at can also help determine where they'll be staying and which sections of the giant theme park they'll be visiting. The best part about the many Disneyworld restaurants is that even if a person eats somewhere different every day they are vacationing there, there will still be new places to explore the next time they go. - 30543

Learning To Use Your Wine Glasses Properly

By Gil Right

Wine glasses are very essential in the wine tasting experience. In order to properly taste the wine, you must have the correct wine glass. Wine glasses were designed the way they are shaped on purpose.

The red wine glass incorporates a base, stem and large bowl and mouth to bring about the perfect glass for drinking red wine. The large round bowl helps to establish the unique bouquet belonging to each individual wine. The mouth is large to allow a person to sip their wine because red wine is made to be sipped.

Red wine glasses use the surface area of the large bowl to oxygenate and evaporate the wine allowing for a much bolder aroma. Red wine is known for its strong and bold taste. The large bowl is also used to grasp the glass by which helps keep red wine at the desired temperature, room temperature.

White wine glasses are encompassed of the same components as the red wine glasses with a few differences in size and shape. White wine is a much more delicate wine and the white wine glass has a tall and narrow bowl in order to focus the bouquet directly. The stem of the white wine glass is also taller, allowing for the consumer to hold the glass by the stem which allows the white wine to stay at the preferred cooler temperatures.

The white wine glass has a smaller mouth than a red wine glass which makes you tilt your head back in order to drink it. White wine is meant to be tasted towards the back of your palette. The part of the palette where you taste the wine is important to the wine tasting experience.

Champagne is also another type of wine requiring its own specially designed glass. This special glass is called the champagne flute. Flutes are tall and narrow which allows for the bubbles and effervescence of the champagne to last longer.

Wine glasses are very important on more than one level and are not just for holding your wine but for perfecting the taste of the wine as well. Wine should always be paired with its perfect wine glass in order to experience wine tasting to the fullest. Something else you can do with wine is to pair it with the perfect food.

White wine will pair perfectly with almost any type of seafood. Red wine goes great with red meat and surprisingly with chocolate. Feel free to play with food and wine combinations, but always remember to use the correct wine glasses! - 30543

Great Ideas Help You Increase Restaurant Sales

Unless you are actively moving forward as an entrepreneur, your business may be sliding backwards against its competition. As such, even though you may feel that you are on top of the world, there are always ways to increase restaurant sales and to make sure that you are developing. Don't be tempted to adopt the status quo as adequate, at any time.

Have you ever thought about asking the experts when it comes to getting ideas to increase restaurant sales? We're not necessarily talking about professional advisors, either as the experts are in fact your diners in this case. Don't be afraid to solicit input from your regular visitors or even those who just pop in for a meal, as they will almost invariably have some great inputs to give you from the sharp end as it were.

You must have a rocksolid operation before you even think about how to increase restaurant sales. Know that your reputation is very important in the marketplace and word-of-mouth will be crucial. As people are looking for social proof before they dine out, make sure that you have first class customer service, a really appetizing menu and an overall great experience. If you do, you will find a steady increase naturally.

A certain number of your menu items will be key favorites and will be requested time and again. As the largest part of your business tends to come from the smaller part of your menu or these favorites, focus on these areas when you are trying to expand and increase restaurant sales. If you truly know what your customer wants, why bother with trying to roll out new menu items that may fall flat on their face.

Turn to the web when you are looking to increase restaurant sales and make sure that you have a comprehensive, well designed and maintained website. All good restaurants must have an online presence these days. There are ways and means to capture the information of those who visit the website. When you do, enroll them into an informative and educational newsletter, which will help you to establish a bond with them. Over a period of time they will naturally decide to come to your restaurant as they will see great value in the information you have been sending them and anticipate a great time.

Engage your staff with your enthusiasm and incentivize them to be your best ambassadors. If you make it especially worth their while to introduce friends, family and friends of friends than you would be surprised how this can add to your revenue stream through such a simple initiative.

Go out into your local marketplace and come up with some ideas to link other businesses to yours. If there is some kind of affinity, common thread or cause, see how you can exploit this to mutual benefit. Remember that this has to be a "win-win" for both parties as you increase restaurant sales and drive traffic and sales to them as well.

Free publicity is always good and through a consistent effort, you can often get this. Make sure that you project yourself as the expert in your particular style of restaurant, niche or food style. Make a solid effort and get on the good side of your local newspaper editor. You will be able to get this great publicity by writing a regular column or otherwise being seen as the "go to" person. - 30543

Fine Dining with Children - What You Need To Know

By Amy Nutt

Dining at a luxury restaurant is a wonderful way to relax and have great wine and food. Many parents have concerns about taking their children to a fine dining restaurant. Below are a number of tips to help make your fine dining experience with children pleasurable and not embarrassing.

1. If you have made a reservation several days or a week before, you can practice good behavior and manners with your children at home. Help them learn to say thank you, and please. Use positive reinforcement techniques. As well, if they are old enough, you will have to teach them to use cutlery and drink a beverage without spilling it. As well, if they are old enough, you can teach them how to properly order food. When you reserve a table, ask for a corner table for privacy.

2. When you arrive and park at the restaurant, it is time to have one more gentle and positive talk about how the children are to behave. Explain that they cannot yell, scream, and run around at the restaurant. Remind them that they have to consider the other people dining.

3. It can be a real hassle and distraction taking children to the restroom at a fine dining restaurant. Before you arrive, make sure the children have gone to the restroom.

4. When most people attend a fine dining restaurant, for example, a restaurant in Ottawa, it tends to be between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM. This can be very late for children who may get hungry and cranky. Bring some snacks such as carrots or apple pieces for them to munch on while waiting for the main meal. While you are waiting for your meal, have some activity books such as crossword puzzles or coloring books to keep them occupied. Include the children in the table conversation. You can also ask your server for some bread or crackers for the children. To make ordering faster and easier, make sure you know what your children like and don't have them experiment with new or spicy foods.

5. Children are curious and love to pick things up and put them in their mouths. Keep candles, sugar packets, cutlery such as knives and forks, and flower displays out of their reach. For very young children, take along a bib, bottles or a child's special sippy cup for drinking. Use high chairs safely.

6. When the meal arrives, look after the children first. Cut the meal up in small pieces for better eating. Make sure you have ordered the beverage to come with the meal. When the children are finished, ask the server to take their plates out of the way. If your children are anxious, skip dessert.

7. Very young children do not like to sit for a long period of time. Once everyone has finished eating, it may be a good time to leave. Older children will be able to sit for a certain period of time before they start getting fidgety and want to leave.

8. Be patient and try not to let small incidents bother you. Children can pick up on frustration.

Fine dining is a wonderful way to spend the evening. When taking children to an elegant restaurant, you greatly improve the chances of having a successful meal without any unpleasant incidents by planning ahead. - 30543

Don't Get Carried Away With Your Restaurant Initiative

By Jose L Riesco

Whenever you set out to unveil a restaurant initiative you must have done your homework and be prepared to see the bigger picture. This type of business is not the easiest and a lot of owners make critical and fundamental mistakes at the beginning. This is probably the most crucial time for you.

Think twice before you run with your restaurant initiative -- are you sure it will work? You will need a very well-prepared business plan and be prepared to take a cold, hard look at everything. The business plan can be a big chore to put together but you should definitely plan to tap the brains of some qualified professionals at this point. Money spent now is a great investment for later.

Location, location, location. Your friends in real estate will repeat this often heard mantra to you and you should listen. Your new restaurant initiative will be based on a selected location, which should be itemized and projected in your business plan. Do not be tempted to compromise if you're under pressure to do so, as the alternative location may prove to be your downfall.

When planning your funding, never underestimate cash flow requirements. In addition you must have a sufficient amount of working capital as no matter what the restaurant initiative, there will always be unforeseen circumstances. Be prepared for this eventuality by allocating at least 10 to 15% of your capitalization to contingencies.

If you seek out they help, those who have been in the restaurant business for a while will be only too pleased to give you an idea of direct operating costs, labor input and the ideal cost of food for your restaurant initiative. Always take these with a pinch of salt, however and never rely on them, especially during your first few months in business as everything and everyone will be finding their feet and it will take time for you to settle down into a regular pattern.

It is common for self-employed people to be so engrossed in what they are doing that they keep everything in their head. Don't forget that you will have to rely on other people as time goes by and you should make sure that your best policies and procedures are set out in a training manual and kept in a key place. From time to time, you will be absent from the business due to illness or other travel commitments and you will have to rely on others within your organization to make sure that the business is operating efficiently.

When you are almost ready to open your restaurant, it is tempting to fire away as you will be anxious to see your dream coming true and get some much-needed cash coming into the bank. Expect there to be many unforeseen problems, however and you should not rush to open before you are absolutely ready. Try some soft openings and invite friends and family along to see what will go wrong. This will be a great help now, rather than when you have paying customers at your tables.

Turn to others for advice and look for a variety of professional advisors during the early stages of your restaurant initiative. You will need input from code officials, bank managers, bookkeepers and legal advisers, but you should also consult dedicated restaurant marketing people who will have the best input for you. - 30543

How Much Does it Cost to Open a Restaurant?

By Amy Nutt

Not only does opening a restaurant involve time, energy, and a lot of preparation, it also involves a significant amount of financial investing. There is no fixed price on the amount it costs to open a restaurant because the costs depends on a number of factors that include the size of the restaurant and the number of seats, location of the establishment, type of food being served, the equipment required, and the type of restaurant. Depending on what you want, it can range from as little as $25,000 to over a million dollars.

Location: Fees to lease an establishment can vary not only to a local location, but also across the country. A large city may charge $40.00 per square foot, while a rural location may be cheaper. You also have to consider taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs which can vary. One industry standard is that leasehold costs run "about 9% to 11% of annual sales."

Size: Costs can also vary according to the number of seats in the restaurant. A small dining establishment with 30 seats will cost much less than a large establishment with 200 seats.

Type of Food Served: Costs will vary according to the type of food you serve. For instance, a lobster and steak restaurant will have higher costs than a fast food restaurant. The equipment costs will vary as well. For instance, equipment to make high end seafood meals can cost thousands of dollars. A small coffee shop will have minimum equipment costs. If you require a large walk in refrigerator/freezer, the costs can run up to $25, 000. The prices from restaurant suppliers will vary.

Permits: You also have to factor in regulation costs. Maintaining all of the various governmental regulations such as health and safety codes can run you thousands of dollars depending on the type of permit and how much you need to do to comply. Permit fees range from several hundred to a couple of thousand dollars.

Cosmetic Features: You will want your restaurant looking its best. This will include fixtures, paint, pictures, lights, table clothes, dinnerware...etc. Depending on what type of restaurant you have, this can cost you tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Marketing/Advertising: To get your restaurant name out to the public, you have to spend money on advertising. This can include: radio, television, newspapers, magazines...and more. This is money that is considered an investment with the return being customers. It is a necessary expense to the success and survival of the restaurant.

Inventory: You will need such up-front items as food, beverages, ingredients, cookware...etc. Depending on the type of restaurant, acquiring all of these items by opening day can cost a lot of money. It can run up to $10, 000 or more.

The key to having a successful restaurant opening is to create a list of all of the costs involved. This will allow you to establish a plan with a sound budget that takes unexpected costs into consideration. By planning your restaurant carefully, you will have a successful and profitable opening that will be remembered by all those attending the event. - 30543
