Today we will explore the new opportunity that showed up in the restaurant business industry after covid-19 lockdowns. We will check on both digital app-based & dine in based restaurant opportunities. 

Planing
The best thing to do before opening a restaurant is to have a clear plan that maps out all of the essential components of your business. The F&B industry is not only profitable but is also extremely competitive, and entering the scene without a concrete plan is a mistake. You need to be prepared by having a clear plan and includes the most important areas, such as:

1. Budgets
2. Business operations
3. Financial projections
4. Restaurant branding and market fit
5. Marketing strategy approach
6. Suppliers
7. Staffing needs and hiring policies
8. Service standards and compliance

Financing
No business can open, let alone operate, without money. Having funding planning is a must to get your restaurant started.

When opening a restaurant in Malaysia, this is what you need to know from a financial point:
1. The cost of opening and operating your food business.
2. What the costs include—this requires breaking down exactly what you need money for, including rent, staff, equipment, etc.
3. Fund rolling.

Company and licenses
Registering a business in Malaysia requires many steps before you can open a restaurant. To make it easier, we’ve summarised the main ones here:

1. Decide your proposed business company name
2. Specify your business type
3. Provide a registered office address
4. Include a business address
5. Have paid-up capital
6. Provide details of the business director
7. We are offering full professional company and business setup services for our clients 

When all steps are completed, Malaysia’s registrar of business, the Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM), will issue a certificate of registration. Later need to get city council or Bandar Raya licenses, food licenses, halal licenses, bomba or fire licenses, in all this process we are assisting our clients. 

Location
Location is one of the most important role players in restaurant business profit. That’s because having the ideal location is key when opening a restaurant in Malaysia. Whether you have a dine-in eatery or offer delivery-only. 

These are the factors to consider when deciding where you’re going to set up shop:
1. Which area offers the most business potential?
2. Who is your target audience?
3. How many competitors already do business in that area?

Hire staff & chef
A company is only as good as its employees. That’s why choosing the right team is so important. Not to mention, that staffing accounts for a major part of your operational costs. 

Here are some of the main points to ask yourself when tackling this vital step:
1. How many employees do you need to run your restaurant?
2. What positions are the most critical to the restaurant’s success?
3. How will you train the staff and what does the training process entail?

Where provide full support to our clients to find a chef and other workers in Malaysia locally or to recruit from other places. 

Marketing
Competition in the restaurant business is as high as in any other business. This makes marketing all the more important if you want to gain more profit and branding! 

To establish your presence and stay ahead, make sure you’re leveraging the following marketing techniques:

1. Website – make sure your food business website is user-friendly, visually appealing, and displays your menu prominently; make it easy for customers to see the delicacies you offer and place an order
2. Online marketing – in addition to an optimized website, be sure you are active on social media
3. Offline marketing – menu flyers and pamphlets, advertising boards, etc
