1. Resource Yourself with Sufficient Information
How true is the African axiom which goes to say ‘any man who asks for direction does not miss the road to their destination’! To support this statement is to quote another metaphorical truth which illuminates that an informed mind is an enlightened mind. All these go to mean that, the place of information and its usefulness in modern affairs cannot be underrated.
More categorically, it is courageously apt for us to emphasise why any one interested in the eatery business must first equip him/herself with the hows, whats, whens, cans and wheres of the eatery business in Nigeria. This step if taken seriously will help prepare the mind against future lapses.
2. Compose a Business Strategy and Raise Good Money
After getting the right information as to the breath and length of the business and having prepared your mind for it, you must begin to make plans on the type of eatery you would be happy to own, how you want your restaurant to run, what model it should follow, and above all, the calibre of customers you will love to patronise your it.
Capital is believed to be the real founder, creator and the big decision maker of any business at all. Without it, the idea of starting it is as vain as it remains just an idea! Against this end therefore, you are advised to make an accurate estimate of your business and source for the money. In the modern world’s banking system, there abounds a number of money-lending societies and microfinance banks that are available for such assistance. Look for the one that suits your projected income.
3. Secure a Business-friendly Location
The business of looking for the right physical place to start one’s business is more herculean than starting the business itself. The location where your eatery business is possible to thrive is in an area with rows of offices, shops or market stalls. Those strategic points are very business-friendly so it deserves to be searched for without laziness.
Another thing following the issue of location is the question of securing a spacious accommodation that will allow for a space where customers may sit to relax or eat and heal the body.
4. Ascertain the Sufficiency of Needed Items and Materials
To start an independent eatery business where the preparation of food is supposed to be faster, better and richer in a bid to avoid disappointing the customers, the adequate availability of utensils, ingredients/condiment, chairs, tables, LED TV, satellite device, water and every other necessary items must be ensured so that you will not lose customers.
5. Employ Capable Hands
Eatery Business in Nigeria or anywhere in the world is never an easy task. It is not a business that just a single person can squarely face and survive as it has individual components of lined up activities which require the adoption of the much suggested act of dividing labour, that is, the division of responsibilities among employed staff.
In other words, the idea of employing capable hands to help you deliver the expected goal where work is becoming too cumbersome, leading to a disastrous end.
6. Be Spotless
Cleanliness, they say, is next to godliness. Many customers would prefer to eat what can be termed as junkie as biscuits in a very clean environment even though the person is hungry than eat in an untidy environment with morsels of pounded yam with Egusi soup and bush meat.
As if restricted to environment alone, a good and approachable eatery in Nigeria is one with the most clean, hygienic, and sanitised food whose delicious taste seems nonpareil in the environment and beyond.
With the above step by step guideline on how to set up an eatery business in Nigeria, you are one step away from becoming an entrepreneur!
