Catering operations, costs and menu planning
I am going to open my Italian restaurant in London, not more than 3miles from the tower bridge. I prefer opening a restaurant in London because it is rated as one of the most visited city in the world by national statistics (The Telegraph 2014). I believe restaurant business should be opened when there is possibility of making money. Most of the people who visit London are tourist. Usually tourists travel to London for pleasure which is associated with spending cash. I have also considered the restaurants in that area and looking at their prices, I will be the cheapest restaurant in the area. THE DON RISTORANTE ITALIANO the cheapest starter cost £5.50 and mussels are costing £8.95, caprese salad cost £7.00 and Parma ham and melon is £8.25.The mains are expensive compared to my menu, Vegetable pizza is costing £11.45 and lasagne is costing £9.50.I also checked Cantina Del Ponte restaurant and the food was expensive to my prices.Caprese salad is £8.50 and the average price of a starter is £9.50 and £17.00 for main courses. Pannacotta and tiramisu are costing £5.50 and £7.00 respectively, compared to my menu which they are costing £3.31 and £2.57. I am going to open a fine dining restaurant, which I think with a bit of hard work it will be a success. Fine dining is associated with the following things:
Finest food; Food should always be cooked to order with the best available ingredients.
Finest service; Finest service starts from taking reservations. Reservation will also be done on the internet through the company website. Patrons will be able to book on the internet the time they would prefer their food to be served. Well trained front of the house staff should take reservations, after reservations are done patrons should be welcomed to the restaurant and escorted to their tables and staff should hold chairs for women. I will make sure that all front of the house staff that is going to serve the food should know
