subject: Starting a Restaurant Business in the UK [print this page]


Starting a small restaurant in United Kingdom can be quite a task as it involves the same amount of hard work and time which will be needed to start any venture whether big or small. The process can be very tiresome and complicated as the laws and regulations of the United Kingdom are quite complex but if the will is there then nothing is impossible.

Location, premises, ingredients, permits, licenses, dealing with suppliers and local vendors are some of the issues which have to be kept in mind while starting a restaurant in United Kingdom. As in case of any business venture, long working hours are needed apart from special culinary skills and a passion for cooking food which is a must if one needs to succeed in the food and beverage industry of United Kingdom.

In case of a small restaurant business, the finances may be self managed as the banks might not be too enthusiastic about investing in a small business venture as the profit margin may not be too much.

The key issue while managing a small restaurant is the hygiene and cleanliness as health and safety inspections take place from time to time in United Kingdom. If any irregularity is found, the restaurant may be fined heavily and in some cases it might even be shut down.

There is not much planning to do while starting a small restaurant business as the entire layout, location, decor and the menu are very simple to manage. Just a dash of creativity and a sense of what might appeal to people is important.
