Restaurant Consulting Group in Gujarat

by Vinod Kumar Digital Marketing Expert
It is a well-known fact that Gujaratis love their food and no celebration is complete without a grand meal. Most consider themselves to be “foodies”. Today, across Gujarat people, young and old, are living out their food passions by becoming restaurateurs. Lawyers, teachers, IT professionals and homemakers are setting up restaurants.  They have invested vast sums of money – their savings, borrowing from friends or banks. This trend has seen a boom in the restaurant business.
 
What no one tells you is that more restaurants close down within a year of opening.  Most of the restaurants that die are the ones which are operated by inexperienced owners. Whether you dream of selling an authentic Gujarati thali, gourmet pizza or a sandwich eatery; the best way forward is to hire a professional restaurant consulting group in Gujarat. They will help you avoid the risks of trial and error methods of operating your restaurant.

Of course like any other business, there are genuine consultants and some shady operators. Deciding who to bring in to help you with expertise and advice is crucial. There are several things to consider before you hire a restaurant consultant group best suited for your needs. 

Tips to keep in mind when hiring a restaurant consultant:
•    Most often restaurant consultants are individuals. How much ever popular the consultant there are limitations to his/her expertise as an individual. It is wiser to choose a consultant group. For example, the Jindal School of Hotel Management located in Gujarat is a hotel school. They can provide a wide range of consultancy service since it can draw on the expertise of its teachers many of whom are experts in their chosen fields.

•    Visit a prospective consultant's premises to assess the consultant's ability to deliver the goods by way of number of members in the team and their areas of expertise, menu development, infrastructure for food trial and training. A hotel school like the Jindal School of Hotel Management will have established facilities on their premise which is helpful in many ways. For example, a first-time restaurateur will be able to see firsthand a kitchen layout. And also be able to see many the types of equipment which he/she will need in their operations.

•    Ask to see the portfolio of completed and or current projects. Talk to the previous clients of the restaurant consultant group. A varied portfolio is the best way of verification of the consultant group’s capabilities and methods of operation.

•    Always ensure that the agreements you enter into with the consultant is legally foolproof. A reputed consultant group will only work with firm written contracts.

•    Choose a consultant who will also be part of the implementation. Too often the consultant leaves it to the client to implement which is not always effective. Hence it’s imperative to hire a consultant group that is willing to travel to your site and be involved with the project in all its stages. Consultant’s like the Jindal School of Hotel Management who are selective about their clients and also have many members actively involved in their group will be able to give you personalised time.

•    Take a restaurant franchise with an established restaurant brand. Not only does the name sell itself thus reducing marketing and advertising expenses, but it will also assist with the menu, staffing and training, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and vendors.

Do keep in mind that hiring a restaurant consultant is not the end but only the beginning. Be involved in the process since you still have overall responsibility for the success of the project. It takes not only money but passion and dedication to operate a successful restaurant.
