The beaten maxim about the path to a man's heart is justified by centuries of experience. Women want to include culinary talent in their attractiveness set, but not everyone has this skill from birth or is lucky with a grandmother who is a cook. A culinary school is a good opportunity to make money teaching the tricks of cooking. The algorithm for organizing such courses is not complicated. Develop a business plan, acquire permits, select personnel, premises and purchase equipment.
Business plan. Main directions
The traditional beginning is the study of supply and demand. Best of all is based on meeting competitors. "Industrial espionage" will do in the form of attending their classes without announcing their goals. The points of the business plan are as follows:
- The target audience. It is huge. It is possible to conduct classes not only for novice housewives, but also to offer such a course of "advanced training" for experienced ones, to interest parents and children, to attract those interested in specific areas (vegetarianism, national cuisine, healthy eating). At first, it is better not to spray and narrow the vector. As the business develops, expand the student body.
- Training program. Do not try to "embrace the immensity." Start by teaching newbies the basic concepts, basic techniques. Then gradually move on to more complex material, attracting new categories of students. Include new topics, reviews, products, processing techniques.
- Selection of a teacher. The human factor is the main thing. The success of the enterprise largely depends on how the teacher will be able to establish communication with the "cadets", on his benevolence, ability to present material in an accessible way. Charisma is capable of doing miracles and covering up many shortcomings in any endeavor. You can teach the courses yourself or hire an hourly professional chef. Think about who will be in charge of administration and accounting.
- The room is a light, spacious hall. Of course - clean. As an option - a kitchen in a dining room, cafe, restaurant. This will optimize the cost of purchasing equipment, electricity, water, rent. It is important that restaurants already have permits. That is, the headache decreases with agreements.
- Equipment. In the case of working in a finished kitchen, the list is much smaller. Otherwise, you will have to think not only about pots, pans, knives and ladles. You will need tables, refrigerator, stoves, extractor hood. A small topic library will come in handy.
- Advertising. This trading engine is an essential part of a good business plan. As a platform, contact not only the print media, but also the Internet. An advertising agency is a good way to save time and effort.
Having outlined the main goals, proceed to their systematic implementation and draw up the documents. Open an individual entrepreneur, obtain a license for the type of activity, agree with the sanitary and epidemiological station, fire service, gas service (when working on gas stoves). The chef-teacher must regularly undergo a medical examination and have a health book.
