How to Start your own Burger Business
Hamburgers are popular food any time of the year, but once summer comes, we can’t get enough of juicy and delicious char-grilled burgers. If you plan to work for yourself and you love hamburgers, this is the time to consider starting your own Burger Business. As a business owner, you can work anytime you want and have the freedom to be as creative as you like. Burgers provide a quick and convenient meal for busy people, and families who are meeting up or just want to get together for a meal. Even though burgers are a fairly easy food to make, remember that you’ll be competing with fast-food and several restaurants that offer the same. To transform your restaurant into a success, you will need perseverance, creativity and unique, attractive theme for your restaurant.
Location
Find a location that gets a lot of traffic, such as a busy shopping mall, business district, offices, parks or schools. You can buy or lease a building you will run your burger business. If you can buy a building that already has a Commercial Kitchen, you can save money on renovations than buying one that doesn’t have a kitchen. Make sure the location has ample floor space for tables, chairs and a counter. You can also start your business with a food court booth, Food Trailer or a mobile food cart. Mobile Food Carts are the least expensive to start with and buying or renting a building are generally the most expensive.
Perfect Your Recipes & Develop your Menu
Perfect your burger recipe and create unique burger toppings and dressings, it can keep your customers coming for more. Take the time to try out and find a burger patty that is better than anything offered by your competitors. Once your basic burger patty turns out the way you want it, start to experiment with unique burger toppings that your customers won’t be able to find elsewhere. Try new things, like mayonnaise with jalapeno, mango, and unique cheeses. Owning a burger business can be fun and profitable, but you’ll need more than great recipes to be successful. Develop a menu which includes side dishes, entrees and drinks, to be paired with your burgers. Incorporate selections in your menu that will appeal to a wider range of choosy diners, such as vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free choices.
Equipment and Decorations
You may want to purchase wholesale furniture & fixtures, Kitchen Equipment, and supplies for your business. It will save you money than buying these items in retail. You will need a Commercial electric grill, Oven, Refrigeration, cash register, chairs and tables. You can also save on ingredients by purchasing from a local suppliers and farmers. Then, decorate the place and set up the tables, chairs and counter space. Observe how traffic will flow during busy hours and set up tables to avoid traffic jams. Lastly, add finishing touches such as unique attractions, paintings or a jukebox.
Organize Grand Opening
Organize a grand opening event. It’s a good idea to invite local celebrities and known personalities for a free meal and entertainment in your new business, or you may also want to hire a local band to play. You should also send press releases to local media outlets, as you may get free publicity through an article or radio mentions. Place an ad in your local newspaper in the food section or give out fliers at your local businesses nearby or offer a small discount to anyone who mentions your business. You may also launch a website or blog, sign up for social media accounts. You can also try more creative marketing strategies for your business, such as making an eating challenge or other events.
