  2. Owning a Restaurant • In the U.S., 935,000 eateries serve more than 70 billion meals and snacks per year • It's a great idea--until you realize how hard starting a restaurant really is: • What permits do you need? • What are your start-up costs? • Where should you buy your produce? • What corporate structure should you choose? • In other words, you need to know the fundamentals • That's why we’re breaking down into eight core questions related to a given industry

  3. How much in start-up costs and ongoing expenses? • a blank-slate approach will set you back $100,000 to $300,000 for: • industrial cooking and ventilation equipment, refrigerators, freezers, tables, bar stools, shelving and counters with stations for cutting, heating and cooling. • Renovating an existing restaurant with a similar concept will cost less, though the rent may be comparatively higher because the value of the previous build-out is already baked in

  4. How much in start-up costs and ongoing expenses? • you'll also need a point-of-sale system to collect money and manage the floor and the kitchen • These systems also will allow you to accept credit cards, but in order to get your money from Visa and American Expressyou have to set up an account with a processing middleman such asHeartland Payment Systems • (Commissions run 1.8% to 2.5% of sales.) • And don't forget the little things, like an eye-catching outdoor sign, menus and triplicate china, glass and linen sets for every seat in the house.

  5. How much in start-up costs and ongoing expenses? • The cost of goods sold (food) will be the main course: 25% to 40% of revenues, depending on the restaurant • Payroll will gobble an additional 20% to 25% • Rent should eat 8%. • After marketing, payroll and taxes, if you end up clocking 5% profit margins, pat yourself on the back. • One last move: Even if you don't need it, open a line of credit with a local bank. The track record you establish will come in handy when you're ready to open your next restaurant--and the ones after that.
