    These 3 things are:
    1. Know your numbers
    2. Know Yourself
    3. Know Your Customers
    Thank you for another informative content, Wilson. I admire that you've shared your personal experience in guiding aspiring restaurant owners. God bless you! 🙏

    My wife’s family owns Thai restaurants and food carts. The worst thing you can do is a soft start and not have every item available on the menu. You need to have a soft opening and not advertise it. Then a few weeks later have an official grand opening. I have refused to go back to any restaurant who was understaffed or ran out of a dish on a soft opening. Especially a grand opening.

    Wilson, these are great. Have you thought of serializing these in the form of a podcast? You already have all the content you would need. There are big trends towards multi-tasking. People like to listen to stuff while they're walking, working out, cooking, etc. Could bring you to a whole new audience if you haven't tried it already!

    • @WilsonKLee
      @WilsonKLee  3 роки тому

      I have some friends who do podcasts and I think there needs to be a lot more attention placed than just extracting the audio of my videos and putting it on Apple podcast or spotify. In the future maybe a more serious podcast series :)

    • @WilsonKLee
      @WilsonKLee  5 років тому +4

      bottom line for owners is sales. if you can bring in more sales, that equates value. so how do you bring in more sales? identify your clientele. provide them exactly what they want, and more importantly, what they need at that moment. best of luck! :)

    Amazing. Thank you for the breakdown on what should be the target % cost! Can you share your opinion/advise on whether food trucks are a good business, and what should be the watch outs prior to going in that type of business? Thank you, Wilson!

    • @WilsonKLee
      @WilsonKLee  4 роки тому +1

      food trucks are great for testing out new concepts, minimal investments. however the cons with that is licenses are often times quite difficult to get since each city has only a limited amount. also, its difficult to be on the road all the time. best of luck on your venture!

    Hi Sir. How much would you suggest should go in to renovations? I’m renovating a space and I want to go the cheap route but I don’t want to sacrifice the ambience too much. I understand this can vary based on your concept but at a bare minimum do you have any estimated costs?

    Hi Wilson, thank you for sharing, your content is fantastic!
    I find it difficult to understand the numbers, I’m working on it but watching your videos are helping my process. If you have any other videos on numbers would you please share?
    In this video, you got the average monthly total and started to deduct rent - food - labour (75%). My business isn’t opening till the end of December so I don’t have any numbers to go off, is there a way where I can prepare some assumptions to help me understand? Maybe rent + labour + food assumptions = my target to break even for the month?
    Hope this makes sense.

      You've first got to identify who your customers are. who specifically are you targeting? what do you they look like? what are their habits? what problem do you solve? what "job" are they planning to "hire" you for? what are your values? what story are you telling? how can they resonate with you? what are you broadcasting channels? what value are you providing? hopefully this will give you some more insight. if you need any more info, feel free to email me and i can explain further. wilson@720sweets.com
