Most people open a pizza place because they think it is easy to make dough in the kitchen and the cash register.
However, ask people who spent six nights a week working in a hot kitchen for two years straight if they still feel good about their decision.
Running any restaurant is harder than it looks, and pizza places face a lot of competition.
But it can be done if someone thinks through the entire process before turning on the ovens for the first time.
Getting Started
1
Decide on a name for the restaurant, a logo and how you plan to make the restaurant different.
2.Find a space to set up shop that has adequate seating, restrooms, convenient parking, an industrial oven or brick-fired oven (if that is the route you plan to go) and a large kitchen.
3
Work out deals with suppliers for things such as napkins, utensils, ingredients, condiments and the like.
4
Secure a line of credit with a bank.
Pizza places that deliver need a lot of steady cash as well as to fill the money drawer every night.
5
Advertise and market your business.
In most towns, simply opening the door---especially if it is not an established chain---won't bring people in.
