Most people who start food businesses already know how to cook or are very passionate about cooking. Before you set out to start the business, make sure you have an updated knowledge of the dishes and other culinary skills needed to make your restaurant stand out from the rest.

2. Draw out a plan

No business survives without a plan. The plan will show you what's relevant for your business. Your plan will also help you determine the direction you want the business to go. This depends on the concept you want to use, either as a buka, restaurant or a grand scale eatery.

3. Create an interesting menu list

Creating an interesting menu list will make your food outlet stand out. It even goes as far as determining the kind of staff ( e.g cook) that you will employ. A signature dish from recipes will also give your brand some popularity.

4. Find the appropriate location

The location of your food outlet says a lot about sales. Look out a place where it would be easy for your prospective clients to find you. If you intend to make money, choose the right location.

5. Give your restaurant the right ambiance
