How to manage a fast food restaurant in partnership with friends

Variety selection is the primary link of fast food management, which determines the success or failure of fast food management to a certain extent. The varieties suitable for Chinese fast food business can be mainly divided into three categories: the first category is meals. Such as fried rice, steamed rice, risotto, mixed rice and so on. The second is noodles. For example, noodle soup includes miscellaneous sauce noodles, fried egg noodles noodles, beef noodles, fried noodles and pork intestines powder similar to noodles, Guilin rice noodles and Yunnan rice noodles. The third is cakes. Such as steamed buns, steamed dumplings, steamed dumplings and pancakes. These are convenient and quick foods, such as rice, noodles or rice noodles, which can be cooked quickly when customers arrive, while pasta can be cooked in batches in advance and served as soon as customers arrive. This will not only allow customers to eat quickly without waiting, but also improve the table utilization rate of fast food restaurants and objectively increase the turnover of restaurants.

However, it should be noted that any fast food restaurant should not operate too many varieties, otherwise it will not only make your fast food restaurant look tasteless, but also increase the workload of the kitchen invisibly, making it difficult for the whole fast food restaurant to operate. There are two choices here: one is that fast food restaurants only deal in one kind of fast food, or meals, or noodles, or pasta; The other is to operate a certain kind of fast food varieties, supplemented by some other two kinds of varieties. A fast food restaurant can't cover everything. It deals in all kinds of goods. All varieties add up to about 20 kinds at most. By the way, if a fast food restaurant deals in meals or noodles, it is best to deal in several soup dishes at the same time and provide several free side dishes.

2.2. Positioning and location of fast food restaurants

Fast food has always been characterized by convenience, high quality and low price, and its main service target is the public. Therefore, the positioning of any Chinese fast food must be popular, middle and low. High-end fast food is not for the rich, and the poor can't afford it, which is what people often say: "high enough, low enough." Take the catering market in Chengdu as an example. In addition to the popularity of Chinese fast food, its prices are mostly set around 5 yuan. In other words, a consumer can get a fast food only by spending 5 yuan.

At present, Chinese fast food is most popular among working class, especially white-collar workers, students and floating population. Therefore, the location of fast food restaurants should be selected in factories, office buildings, bustling commercial districts, schools and other areas where working-class people or students are concentrated, stations, docks, traffic arteries and other places with a large floating population to ensure sufficient customers. You know, people eat fast food conveniently and quickly, so they usually don't go far or take a bus to eat fast food. From this point of view, if there is no considerable consumer group around the fast food restaurant, it is best to change the door.

3.3. The scale and decoration of fast food restaurants

Because Chinese fast food is still in its infancy, the scale of Chinese fast food restaurants is not large at present. Generally speaking, fast food restaurants can be opened when their store area does not include the kitchen. When their store area reaches 60 square meters or more, they can be regarded as medium-sized fast food restaurants, while when their store area exceeds 100 square meters, they can be regarded as large fast food restaurants. Small-scale fast food restaurants have two advantages, one is to save the upfront investment, and the other is to avoid the waste of storefront area when business is slow.

Because fast food is a modern business model after all, the decoration, shops and kitchen facilities of Chinese fast food restaurants should reflect modern characteristics. The decoration of Chinese fast food restaurants should adopt simple style and bright colors to give customers a relaxed and happy feeling; The tables and chairs in the store can use the card-type tables and chairs of western fast food restaurants, which is full of the sense of the times and can make maximum use of the limited space in the store; The kitchen should also try to use stainless steel and other materials to give customers a clean and hygienic impression.

4.4. Management of fast food restaurants

As we all know, western fast food restaurants have a set of perfect and mature management systems and processes, while Chinese fast food restaurants, especially those small Chinese fast food restaurants run by freelancers or laid-off workers to make a living, are obviously unrealistic if they are allowed to adopt any management mode. In fact, the management of Chinese fast food restaurants boils down to a few words. Then the boss must first choose the variety and location of fast food restaurants, do a good job in the decoration of fast food restaurants and install the facilities of fast food restaurants. Then you can find some chefs to do the kitchen and some waiters to do the front desk, so that they can do their work well every day. In the end, of course, the boss will collect the money himself.

Let's start with how many people it takes to open a Chinese fast food restaurant. In a 30-square-meter fast food restaurant, it is estimated that there are three people in the kitchen, that is, one person is responsible for cooking, one person is responsible for cooking noodles, and the other person is responsible for cooking pasta if you operate three fast food varieties at the same time. It is estimated that three waiters are needed in the front office. In addition, it is best to have a mobile kitchen staff who is responsible for washing dishes and ensuring the demand for dishes during business hours. Of course, the boss is responsible for collecting money, but it is best to use the cash register to calculate the daily turnover. As for the preparation work before the fast food restaurant opens every day, it is completed by all the staff of the fast food restaurant.

Let's talk about the matters needing attention in the operation of Chinese fast food restaurants. Besides good quality and low price, convenience, quickness, neatness and hygiene are another main characteristics of fast food restaurants. Both the chef in the kitchen and the waiter in the front room must move skillfully and quickly to meet the needs of customers who come to eat and leave after eating. All the staff of fast food restaurants should have a clear division of labor and cooperate with each other in order to achieve the overall rapid effect. The shops, tables and chairs, tableware and kitchen utensils of fast food restaurants should be cleaned frequently, and the staff should also pay attention to personal hygiene. In short, the image of fast food restaurants should always be clean and comfortable.
