Intricacies of Starting a Restaurant

Looking at the escalating restaurant business in India, several entrepreneurs are keenly eyeing this industry for lucrative business. The businessman is further encouraged into entering this industry when he finds several research reports projecting a robust growth of the industry. The growth has been mainly due to the growing urbanisation and the rapidly surging millennial population.

But before venturing into the industry one must make a thorough study of the pros and cons. One cannot become a successful restaurateur if one does not make a deep study of all elements which go into the success of a restaurant.

So what should be the aspects one should consider before venturing into the field?

Jaasjyot Surri, CEO & Co-Founder, SJI Hospitality Private Limited states, “The planning of an F&B outlet is a balance between passion and economics. Factors ranging from geographical aspects such as location, spending capacity, the type of cuisine prevalent in the area, as well as the cuisine and business segment having a lacuna in the market, should be entrepreneur’s major factors for opening an outlet. Besides, this I believe that it is essential to have an operations team and Executive Chef in mind who is roped in early on during project inception to ensure a synergized approach and positive outcome.”

Parthiv Neotia, Managing Director Ambuja Neotia Hospitality, avers, “As the popular adage goes, “In the restaurant business, you earn through fulfilling people’s appetites, needs, and dreams.” That is a mantra one needs to stick to when in the F&B business.

Healthy Food - An Attempt to Meet Diners' Desire

Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2015, was about "Good Health and Well-being". This could be said to be an eye-opener and the source of making people aware of maintaining their health, which became more pronounced due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Consuming healthy food, since then, has become a significant - if not imperative - element in lives of almost everyone. And this healthy and nutritious food is also playing a significant role in the success of restaurants. Diners are now becoming more particular about the food they consume, making the F&B outlets offer a diverse and appealing menu of healthy food options. Ashok Malkani tries to evaluate how the restaurants and chefs are meeting this desire for nutritious food by customers and what are some of the healthy food options.
