Restaurant 101 states that in order to even embark on a successful business, you need to ensure that your arsenal is loaded up. What does this means? It means making sure that you have everything that you need – from the right cookware, appliances, rangehoods, cutlery, serving ware and everything else that a restaurant needs to have to satisfy its customers and give them the best experience possible.

Don’t know where to start? Well, fret not for you can purchase all that you need at places that sell hospitality supplies in Melbourne. Ensuring that you have everything you need is step one in turning your restaurant into the talk of the town!

  1.          Everyone Loves A Photo

Never underestimate the power of social media. In today’s social media driven world, photos capture attention. It is always advised that restaurants start an Instagram or Facebook page where you can post some high quality images of all that you have to offer. A picture speaks a thousand words, and if people are drooling whilst flicking through their phone, you can be certain that they’ll be sure to pop in sometime to try your delicious offerings. Hiring a professional photographer is advisable, or allocate a member of staff to read up on food photography basics and equip them with a camera.

  1. Develop Brand Identity

One of the critical aspects of running a successful restaurant is developing brand identity. Your goal is to build your identity around your target customers likes and needs. Are you proud of the healthy food that fills your menu? Or are you more of a hearty pub grub type of establishment? Being sure of your identity and target audience can assist you in marketing to the correct audience. Reflect these interests in your social media accounts and platforms and in no time you’ll be booking out every single night!

  1. Quality, Quality, Quality!

The food you offer is the heart and soul of your restaurant. There is absolutely no point in devoting all your time to marketing unless you are certain and proud of what your menu offers. This means ensuring quality control, using the best quality produce, the freshest ingredients and hiring top notch chefs that can turn your produce into gourmet delights.

Taste test dishes and menus before launching them, and get feedback from non-biased people such as bloggers and critics in order to find ways in which you can improve on the taste of dishes. No one will patron a restaurant that doesn’t provide foodie excellence, so always keep an eye out on your food!
