Barbecue restaurants are basically the mainstream dining after 6 pm in every city in summer. There are small tables in the streets and alleys, and barbecue grills emitting green smoke are everywhere. Even in winter, barbecue restaurants are still booming, but the location is changed indoors. What kind of barbecue restaurant can be considered a reasonable, cost-controllable, and profitable barbecue restaurant? Let the editor explain slowly. 1. How to make money by opening a barbecue restaurant? What type of self-service barbecue restaurant is currently the most suitable barbecue restaurant? The most suitable one at present is the traditional barbecue model plus the self-service barbecue model. This combined model can not only have characteristics but also save money. Make money with your heart. Let’s introduce it below: 1. The barbecue restaurant must be a charcoal barbecue, and there must be smoke-free equipment indoors. 2. When choosing a location for a barbecue restaurant, you must choose a location with open space in front of the store. 3. Barbecue restaurants must not serve raw meat skewers directly to customers. They don’t know how to grill, and they will easily destroy your sign. If they get frustrated, they will have to settle the score with you. 4. BBQ restaurants must not sell too many varieties. They must have good taste and only sell a few signature items. 2. Still focus on traditional barbecue. Competition among barbecue restaurants at any time is still based on three aspects: taste, raw materials, and service. The biggest advantage of traditional barbecue is the taste and ingredients. Especially now that people are paying more and more attention to health, traditional barbecue that basically does not use additives will become the mainstream of the barbecue industry. Nationally speaking, charcoal barbecue is still the main type of barbecue in streets and alleys in summer. Electric barbecue and smokeless gas barbecue cannot replace traditional charcoal barbecue after many years of promotion. Therefore, when doing self-service barbecue, the first thing to make sure is to use traditional charcoal barbecue as the basis. Traditional barbecue is far superior to the current so-called Baidu paper barbecue, teppanyaki barbecue, etc. in terms of texture and taste. This is not something one person has the final say. After nearly 10 years of upgrading in the barbecue industry, weird and unique barbecue restaurants have disappeared one after another. However, those small barbecue restaurants that set up a small charcoal grill and fanned them back and forth are becoming more and more prosperous day by day, and they have developed into big restaurants. If you deviate from traditional charcoal barbecue, healthy barbecue, and green barbecue, you are destined to fail to become a long-lasting old restaurant. 3. The barbecue restaurant cannot be the old-fashioned restaurant that loses money based on the price per person. In the eyes of many people, the barbecue restaurant is the kind of barbecue restaurant that pays the price per person and manages everything. Self-service barbecue became popular in about 2004 and is almost invisible now, in less than 5 years. Many people wonder why such self-service barbecue restaurants have disappeared? From a business perspective, it is very simple, that is, you cannot make money by opening a self-service barbecue restaurant. 4. Advantages of barbecue restaurants Although barbecue restaurants are not so deep in the eyes of many shop owners. Many people think that they can make money by doing barbecue unlike other people. More profound questions that come to mind: guest experience consumption. Barbecue can add a lot of fun to guests. Grilling delicious food by yourself will not only satisfy your appetite but also give you a sense of pride. In fact, for those who open a restaurant, the biggest advantage of barbecue is cost savings, especially personnel costs and management costs.
