Back to Basics in Restaurant Management

By Shareen Aguilar

You may have a restaurant you’re managing at the moment or maybe you are one lost camper in the internet world trying to find out more about restaurants, how to manage one and other important things needed as a restaurant owner/manager. Either of the two, it is always important to have a general check with the basic things that matter.

First thing is to inform yourself. Informing yourself with the latest information in restaurant handling, pitfalls which you should avoid and major areas of concerns about the restaurant business is the best tool you could always take with you. It doesn’t have to come from just the books or restaurant magazines; the internet itself has an immense source of just about anything and if you are on the look out for the latest happenings about restaurant, it is the best place to look to.

It is obvious that when a person tries to establish a restaurant for the first time, the concept always comes first. The same thing goes with a current restaurant owner, if not for all, there are still a percentage of owners who are fixated in concepts. Of course, they certainly have learned but this is one thing that needs to be checked at all times. Creating a concept without proper planning is usually the pitfall here. A good plan has all the details laid out. This means that no matter the details, the plan prevails which means also that the money allotted for it isn’t going to go beyond expected.

For current restaurant owners, have your original plan checked if the current status of your restaurant is still running according to plan. You think you don’t need it but there’s a possibility that you might have overlooked a minor detail and by just reviewing what you already have could help.

As for financial matters, if you know you have unlimited sources better consult your financial advisor since assuming that you can handle what you have is like gambling. But if you are the opposite, then availing yourself of a small loan is best. Whether you have or have not done any restaurant management maneuvering, it’s important you always review and get back to basics for reassurance.
