Choosing a location
How to choose a place for a bar to have a steady income? One option is to carefully select the area in accordance with the concept of the bar itself. For example, in peripheral and bedroom areas, where residents like to drink beer in the yard on the bench, to open an expensive bar with elite alcohol does not make sense, as well as in an expensive area beer bar without seats is unlikely to enjoy the necessary popularity.
Finding a place
The premises can be bought or rented.
A great option – the first floor of a non-residential building or a separate building. But the bar in the basement may scare away some potential guests, not to mention the possible difficulties with air conditioning and sewage.
Identify your target audience
Research the neighborhood in which you’ve found a suitable vacant space. It’s important to identify:
The number of population;
The social status of the area and income level;
traffic flows, direction of walking routes;
how passable the chosen location is;
the presence of competitors, their concept, pricing policy, quality of service, pros and cons.
Concept and staff
When you have finally chosen a place for your future bar, you need to decide on its type and approximate menu. The bar may be a beer, with a large range of coffee, or perhaps the bulk of the drinks in it will be wines or other spirits.
Documentation
After registration, you need to get all the necessary permits and licenses to open a bar.
Cash register equipment
Advertising and promotion
To make your bar known, you need to tell people about it.
A brief business plan
How much does it cost to open a bar? The amount of money needed to open a bar will depend on many nuances: the proposed area of the room, its decoration, furniture and equipment, the number of employees and the approximate menu.
For your business to be successful and for your bar to stand out from the competition, come up with your “thing”. Competently draw up a business plan, constantly monitor all business processes, comply with legislation and requirements, select courteous and trained staff, quality assortment and provide guests with excellent service – success is inevitable.
