    How to start a restaurant when you're underfunded. I've been a restauranteur for over 12 years (involved in owning or co-owning 8 restaurants) and have helped several others get started on the road to owning their own business.
    Here's how it goes, I get a phone call and they say "Edgar, I have about $15,000 and I want to start a business, but I don't think it's enough" This video dives into how you can make it happen on a $10k-$30k budget!

    Hey man thank you very much for your advise honestly taking all this to heart. All I think about 24/7 is about to open up my own restaurant I feel like like no one believes in me but I’m going to make it happen, I have a lot of hunger and passion for this business.

      @EdgarCarreon  4 роки тому +3

      Yes, this is a great way to get in at a low cost, especially if the space has the equipment (hood system in particular). When you're ready be sure to negotiate hard, get free rent, make sure the equipment stays and ask for tenant improvement money (this may raise rent a little), but could make a difference.
      It's going to be a different world after covid, but as long as you get creative as to how you deliver your product/experience to your customers -- you will do well! You should start social media now, get on UA-cam!

      I am thinking about a new type of restaurants: eating-spots
      in eating-spots, food keeps changing, chefs also rotate
      this is opposed to current restaurants,
      thanks to this rotation of food and chefs, eating-spots are more powerful than restaurants,
      along with that, there is an app,
      people vote for the food that will be cooked in the next days,
      menu is influenced by the live input of the people via an app,

    How did you find the location for 14 k was it with your agent?
    Is there any other way I can find cheap equipment? :)

    • @EdgarCarreon
      @EdgarCarreon  4 роки тому +1

      After Coronavirus, you’ll be able to find these deals. Many restaurants will be suffering or closed and it will be the best time to step in and get the equipment for free as part of the contract negotiations. Keep your eyes open for the places you think can do well for you but are suffering now.

    If you use an agent, you cost the building owner more money, so your rent becomes more expensive.

    • @EdgarCarreon
      @EdgarCarreon  4 роки тому +1

      Depends on what you mean by no experience. If it’s no business experience, I would look for a mentor (someone who’s done it), put a list of questions together and begin asking and researching. If you mean no food (cooking) experience, then go to restaurants you’d compete with and become friends with the cooks, until you can recruit them or make them partners.

  • @Zo-hc2fn

    Have you guys noticed that :
    eating out is very difficult and expensive.
    in an area, typically,
    you might find an outlet selling pizza,
    you might sometimes find a restaurant in which meals are quite expensive,
    and that's it.
    Here you barely have : very few foods, and they are expensive
    You can eat almost nothing,
    Do you guys see ?
    This model is very inefficient
    Eating out is nearly impossible
    Something is definitely missing
    it is : a restaurant where food keeps changing, food changes every day
    Chefs also rotate
    A meal is going to be cheap
    You get new foods every day. After a period of time : you will have eaten thousands of foods
    Do you see the difference now ?
    This model is way better
    Eating out will finally become possible.

    • @EdgarCarreon

      Brick and mortar will never go away. It's about creating an unique experience. But there are scenarios where it doesn't make sense and in that case, if you really want to get into the food business, but don't want the location -- I would say check out www.cloudkitchens.com

      Not at all, but you do need to know someone who does. You need to be good at getting people to come through your doors and really good at listening to them.
      When I hired my first cook, I just made sure they cooked really good at home and I worked with them to adjust recipe for larger volume.
