Skipping past the technical, I thought we’d look at something more fun (and critically important):

Creating a strong concept for your restaurant, café or bar.

Your concept gives people a reason to visit you. It makes you stand out from competition.

It gives media something to write about. Creating a strong concept makes everything clearer and strongly increases your chances of success.

Your concept is defined by many things:

  • Your skills and talents that make you unique and appealing (butchery, specialty coffee, vegan food, sourdough pizza, craft beer and on and on)
  • Your likes and dislikes (you may love bright colours and dislike monotones, or the other way around)
  • Your competition (if you’re exactly like everyone else, it’s unlikely you’ll be any busier)
  • Your location & target market (a lunch offering will do better in a business park than a fine dining dinner restaurant)
