In today's competition among pizzerias, an important point is to provide the client with maximum convenience for purchasing the product. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply open a classic establishment, set up tables and chairs, and clients began to literally walk in “shoals.” It is not easy for new players to enter the market today. Almost every big city There is more than one intracity network and many federal players. Nevertheless, experts predict a bright future for public catering and fast food in particular. According to Rosstat, the fast food industry, despite all the crisis, is growing by an average of 17% per year.

Step-by-step plan for opening a pizzeria

One of the available options for a successful start today is to open a so-called mini pizzeria near your home. Such establishments make money in three main areas: 1. Stationary pizzeria - come in, order, eat 2. Pizza delivery - call, order, they deliver 3. Takeaway pizza - come in, order, pick it up. The menu of the establishments includes all the same well-known dishes and drinks: 25 - 30 types of pizzas, pastas, salads, soups, business lunches, fruit drinks, kvass, beer, lemonade, iced tea and coffee. Main clients of the establishment: local residents, bachelors (25 - 40 years old), working class, youth and students, women under 35 years old (who have no time to cook), employees of nearby offices. Such pizzerias are aimed primarily at a specific residential area of ​​the city. “A pizzeria near your home will have a number of advantages over a traditional establishment opened somewhere in the city center,” says Maxim Seryakov, Marketing Director of Pizza Time. For a businessman, this is, first of all, inexpensive rent. For example, the price tag for rent in a large shopping center will be 2-3 times higher than renting premises on the first floor of a residential building in a residential area of ​​the city. The difference can be 50 - 100 thousand rubles. Such savings at the initial stages can literally save the business. There are even more benefits for consumers:

  1. Hot pizza is always at hand. It's like going out for bread - the pizzeria is within walking distance.
  2. Delivery speed. Due to the close location to the client’s home, the time for delivery of fresh pizza is only 15 - 40 minutes, taking into account the time for preparing the product.
  3. The price of pizza “at home” is always lower than in traditional establishments. And this is logical - lower costs for renting premises, which means lower fixed costs and production costs. As a result, the price tag becomes lower by 15 - 25%, which has a positive effect on the growth of demand for the product.

When enough great opportunities mini-pizzerias require much less investment - about 1.5 million rubles. Net profit after reaching design capacity is 150 - 200 thousand rubles. With proper organization, investments pay off in 14 - 16 months.

Organizational issues The first thing to start opening a business with is finding suitable premises. This is very important because 80% of success depends on it. The best option is buildings located on the first line of houses with convenient access roads and parking. In this case, having only one sign above the entrance to the premises will bring the lion's share of customers. And, accordingly, it will save a significant part of advertising funds. The minimum area of ​​the room is 65 square meters. m. A big plus is the presence of stops in the immediate vicinity public transport, Universities, shops, boutiques, office buildings. It is also recommended to be located as close to major new development areas as possible. As a rule, much more young people live here, and these are the main clients of pizzerias.

The second point is the availability of communications. The room must have hot and cold water supply, proper ventilation and an emergency exit. For optimal operation of the equipment, sufficient supply must be provided in the room. electrical power. The rent for an almost finished property will be at least 50,000 rubles. per month. Third important point- food recipes and technology. You will need to spend quite a bit of money on developing a unique pizza recipe. To do this, it is worth hiring an experienced technologist and chef. The product should be 100% tasty and of stable quality. Because most customers won’t care so much what your establishment looks like and where it is located if it serves delicious and extremely appetizing pizza.

Developing an effective advertising campaign is another most important task when opening a profitable pizzeria, one of the main specializations of which is pizza delivery. In this sense, the most reliable tool for promotion is the Internet. The combination of your own website + contextual advertising gives a colossal effect. To prove these words, just look at the statistics of Yandex search queries. Thus, the phrase “pizza delivery” for October 2015. Moscow residents searched more than 46,000 times

And this, mind you, is only in Yandex search. Don't forget that there is also Google. On average, about 2,300 Muscovites try to find pizza delivery via the Internet every day. And these are the most direct clients. The cost of creating a high-quality resource, with a decent budget for contextual advertising, will be at least 200,000 rubles. But believe me, this is a justified investment. Especially if we're talking about about a big city.

How much money do you need to open a pizzeria?

A pizzeria is not the cheapest project. It will be necessary to allocate significant funds for repairs, design, purchase of equipment, furniture, business registration, and advertising. If you do the calculation, the estimated costs will look like this:

  • Construction and installation work, repairs - 250,000 rubles.
  • Coordination of the project, collection of documentation - 50,000 rubles.
  • Advertising (marketing) budget - 130,000 rubles.
  • Trade and production equipment - 440,000 rubles.
  • Dishes and equipment - 70,000 rub.
  • Cash register equipment and computers - 100,000 rubles.
  • Furniture and decorative elements- 200,000 rub.
  • Other equipment - 35,000 rub.
  • Deposit for rent - 100,000 rubles.
  • Reserve fund - 200,000 rubles.

Total - 1,575,000 rub.

How much can you earn by opening a pizzeria?

First, let's calculate the costs. The average bill for a pizzeria near your home is about 450 rubles. Of this amount, 32% are ingredients (144 rubles), 2% delivery costs (9 rubles), 3% of the proceeds go to the administrator (13.5 rubles). The cost of one order is: 144 + 9 + 13.5 = 166.5 rubles. Profit from one order is: average bill - cost = 450 - 166.5 = 283.5 rub. Fixed expenses consist of:

  • Staff salary (2 cooks, 2 administrators, 2 delivery people, 1 assistant cook) - 147,000 rubles.
  • Rent of premises - 60,000 rubles.
  • Utility costs - 10,000 rub.
  • Social contributions (FSS, Pension Fund) - 44,000 rubles.
  • Advertising expenses - 50,000 rub.
  • Taxes (UTII) - 8,000 rub.
  • Other expenses - 10,000 rubles.

Total - 329,000 rub. per month or 10,966 rub. in a day. The pizzeria's break-even point is reached at: RUR 329,000. (fixed expenses) / 283.5 rub. (profit from 1 order) = 1160 orders per month or 38 orders per day. Everything else is a plus. So, to earn 200,000 rubles. per month, “clean” it is necessary to fulfill 61 orders per day. This is more than a real number.

Business pitfalls - popular mistakes made by beginners

  1. You should not overpay for renting premises - high rent will eat up the bulk of the profit. Take a little more time and find a less expensive property.
  2. Don’t pay your staff too much wages; believe me, this is not the main “motivator” for responsible work. Pay exactly what the labor market in your city requires.
  3. Pay attention young project more time - a hired manager with a large salary will not take care of the project the way you do.
  4. Implement controls to control revenue theft. Fire unscrupulous employees without hesitation. And even if this requires replacing more than a dozen people.
  5. Build relationships with the residents of the building (if the pizzeria is located on the first floor of an apartment building). Any complaints to Rospotrebnadzor could have a detrimental effect on the future of the establishment. And there will be no need for unnecessary hatred from the main clients.
  6. Conduct analytics on purchasing, sales and marketing. Analyze successes and failures, develop the project and never stop developing.

Have you decided to start your own hotel business? This is a fairly promising and profitable business, which, if properly organized, will pay off fairly quickly. The main thing is to choose a place where to open a hotel and advertise it correctly. The best option for beginners is a classic mini-hotel with 10-15 rooms. It is not difficult to open, and with the right approach, it brings profit no less than a traditional hotel.

Studying the market

Are you thinking about how to open a mini hotel? First of all, study the existing market. Where should the hotel be opened? Where it will be in demand. These are resort towns, large cities, popular tourist settlements. Think about who will be staying in your rooms. Students and young people usually choose hostels - they are satisfied with the low price and shared rooms.

A mini-hotel is an ideal choice for a budding entrepreneur

Mini-hotels are used by people aged 23 to 65 years, who prefer to live in a separate room. Mini-hotels are also popular with married couples, for couples with children and business travelers. Think about who from this target audience could become your client.

Note: draw up a portrait of your consumer, calculating his age, income level, and the services he needs. Based on this, you can build a future hotel promotion strategy.

After that, do competitor analysis. There are probably already hotels and mini-hotels in your city, since this business brings in good money. Research what rooms they offer, what price range they offer, and what additional services they offer. Find out about room occupancy, opening hours, etc.

Then find the market leaders. They set the tone for the entire hotel business in the city, shape the habits of guests and probably know how to dump. You will need to adapt to the leaders, while offering your visitors more Better conditions for less money. Or at least the same conditions.

In what format to open

If you do not have serious experience in hotel business and huge start-up capital, the easiest way is to open in the format of a mini-hotel. This is a small hotel that consists of a maximum of 30 rooms. Such mini-hotels are located near the main key infrastructure facilities:

  • bus stations;
  • railway stations;
  • metro stations;
  • vehicle interchanges;
  • downtown;
  • close to popular attractions;
  • near gas stations or along highways.

A mini-hotel can be built or rented

A mini-hotel means having a shared kitchen and microwave in each room, several showers and toilets. In some cases, showers can be equipped directly in the rooms. Required condition today is the availability of high-speed Wi-Fi Internet in the hotel. It would also be useful to have convenient parking nearby, but this is an optional option.

Production plan

Let's look at what it takes to open a hotel with 20 rooms. This is a classic size for a mini-hotel. The numbers should be divided as follows:

  1. 3 luxury rooms. Here it is necessary to make high-quality repairs, equip your own bathrooms, install all the necessary furniture in the rooms and household appliances, create mini-kitchens.
  2. 13 rooms for classic double rooms. Moreover, make 7 rooms with two separate beds, 6 with double beds.
  3. Allocate 4 rooms for single rooms.

You will also need to equip a full-fledged kitchen for preparing food, providing it with utensils and household appliances, and also create a comfortable bathroom for several people. Additionally, the mini-hotel should have a reception desk with an administrator, technical rooms for storing washing supplies and linen, a boiler room and a separate room for washing and ironing.

You should not choose the cheapest furniture for a hotel. It is advisable to install beds with metal frames, closets with durable doors on several hinges, and cover the floor with industrial linoleum or “office” laminate.

Additionally, the mini-hotel can be equipped with a small bar and a gym. This will allow you to significantly expand your customer reach and bring in additional funds.

Financial plan

There are two options for the development of events:

  1. Find a room of suitable size and rent it.
  2. Build a hotel from scratch.

Of course, the first option will require less initial costs, but you will pay a significant amount every month, reducing your own income. The second option will require serious investments, but in the end you will have your own building in a convenient location, which can later be sold or rented out if you get tired of doing business.

Constructing your own building takes about two years. The estimated investment amounts are as follows:

  1. Obtaining permits, research and design work- 1 million rubles.
  2. Construction of the building, finishing - 10 million rubles.
  3. Improvement of the surrounding area, creation of your own parking lot - 1 million rubles.
  4. Purchase of furniture and equipment - 5 million rubles.
  5. Other expenses - 1 million rubles.

Total construction own object will cost you approximately 18 million rubles.

A year of hotel operation costs approximately 4.5 million rubles, of which:

  1. Taxes, wages - 2.5 million.
  2. Utilities, current expenses, purchase of linen, washing supplies, etc. - 1.5 million.
  3. Other expenses - 0.5 million.

The expected profit from the hotel is about 7.5 million rubles. Rooms at average cost 1000 rubles per day will bring you: 1000*20*30=600,000 per month or 7,200,000 per year at full capacity (in practice, this figure is 10% less, since to ensure 100% occupancy of rooms all year round not entirely simple). With proper organization, you will receive 6,500,000 million from the numbers and another about a million rubles from the bar - gym. Net profit will be 7,500,000 - 4,500,000 = 3,000,000 rubles per year.

Note: Our 3 million does not include rent for the building. If you are building your own, then these 3 million will be your net profit. If you rent it, then approximately another 1.5-2 million will need to be paid for rent.

It turns out that building a hotel from scratch will pay for itself in 5-6 years. A rental building with an income of 1 million per year will pay for itself in 5 years. Therefore, building your own is much more profitable. Or look for options with a mortgage - it’s better to pay off the debt for your building than just pay money for rent.

In a mini-hotel, the administrator can act as a security guard

Work organization

Do you want to know how to open a hotel from scratch? First of all, you should register. We recommend that you register an LLC and work under a simplified taxation scheme. You can, of course, make it an individual entrepreneur, but in this case you risk more serious fines and liability.

The demand for printing services is constantly growing. This applies to both large and small runs.

The main share of small circulations falls on small printing houses and operational printing shops. According to Sergei Pautov, general director and the owner of Peter Polygraph LLC (a staff of four people), to open a mini-printing house it is not necessary to seek large investments, but initially having an experienced specialist on staff is good who knows everything printing process is necessary. You can start with a single-color offset press; you can earn about $700 using it net profit per month.

As experts note, now the growth rate in this sector of the economy is declining, but the volume of printed products is growing. A small printing house can grow by focusing its work on a specific customer, creating the appropriate equipment and work for him.

1 step Registration

To open a mini-printing house, it is enough to register a state of emergency.
Licensing of this type of business activity is not
provided.

Step 2 Customer

Opening a printing house must begin with finding regular customers and
formation of a portfolio of orders.

At the first stages of work, orders can be transferred to existing printing houses.

Before purchasing equipment and searching for premises, it is necessary to create an active sales system. It is important to build a clear marketing strategy: what to print and for whom.

"At first, the owner of the printing house is forced to independently look for his first
orders. Through personal sales, calling, connecting friends, etc. ", -
advises the manager of the Kopi R LLC branch, Lyudmila Korykhalova. Currently, there are four main segments of printing production: book and magazine production, packaging and label production, advertising printing and newspaper production.

Advertising products are considered the most saturated sector of the market. Leaflets,
Almost all printing houses print booklets and calendars. Technological
the manufacturing chain can be complete - from design development to
post-press preparation - or partial, when processes are distributed over
contractors.

The complete technological chain consists of: design studio, pre-press
preparation with output of photographic films, production of forms (prepress takes on
himself as a designer), printing process, post-press preparation (cutting,
folding, embossing, collating, etc.).

The organization of the technological process is followed by the selection of equipment.
It is worth considering that clients prefer to use the services of those
printing houses where they can be offered a full range of services: from
design development to finished packaged products.

“An important element of the work of a small printing house,” says Lyudmila Korykhalova, “is constant monitoring and optimization of printing processes. A mistake can result in redoing the order at your own expense or loss regular customer"In addition, a mini-printing house that will ensure the quality and speed of order fulfillment will stand out. You can attract clients by introducing additional services. For example, producing a small batch of pocket calendars in addition to the main order.

Step 3 Equipment and consumables

When choosing equipment, you must follow the principle of “the right machine in
right time in the right place."

And also remember what products are in demand on the market and in what
equipment to print it.

"A novice entrepreneur should think about buying the simplest
used monochromatic machine type Romayor, A3 format, copy frame for making molds, cutter. This equipment is suitable for printing brochures, documents, leaflets, etc. To get started, it’s enough to have $6-7 thousand,” says Sergey Pautov. The supplier company
It is recommended to select equipment based on the availability of a service center.

Common brands of equipment in Russia are Romayor,
Heidelberg, Roland and others.

Step 4 Room

It is worth deciding in advance where the printing shop will be located.

If the printing shop is focused on performing operational
printing, then the ideal option would be to place it indoors
business centers, educational institutions and other passable places.
Orders will also be accepted there. For placement of printing equipment, storage of consumables finished products and equipment, the space for the designer is 20 m2.

The room must be selected with suitable climatic conditions, and
also with ventilation and exhaust.

According to experts, locating production in residential buildings Not
recommended. This will definitely cause complaints from the residents of the house and force
look for a new location for production.

Step 5 Staff

An important person, on which the work of any printing house depends, is
printer.

The staff of a mini-printing house may consist of a printer, a printer's assistant, a cutter, a pre-press specialist, and an order collection manager.

According to market participants, the biggest problem is finding a printer,
despite the fact that this profession is considered one of the highest paid in the city. The work of a printer is hard and harmful. "Printers
are always needed by everyone. There is no printing house that did not need
printers,” admits Konstantin Kovalev, RA sales manager
"Zebra". Personnel are trained by the printing houses themselves, the North-Western Institute of Printing and
educational and methodological retraining centers. Often the printing houses themselves
are engaged in personnel training or lure employees from other
enterprises. Search through advertisements or recruiting agencies
practically does not work, experts admit.

In small companies, a pre-press specialist and designer,
usually the same person. Order collection managers must
have an idea of ​​what printing is.

6 step Specifics

The harvest period for a small printing house is considered to be autumn and
winter period until New Year.

“During this period, printing houses work in three shifts,” says Konstantin
Kovalev. Held a large number of exhibitions, advertising campaigns, going
preparation for the New Year's Eve. These activities require a lot
consumption of advertising products.
