The popularity of national cuisines is only increasing every day. To start a business in this field, you could try opening a Chinese restaurant.
Why Chinese? Yes, because the majority of Asian restaurants offer Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese or Thai cuisine or mixed versions of them, while there are very few authentic Chinese restaurants.
Chinese cuisine is considered the most popular in the world not only because one in five people in the world is Chinese, but also because the Chinese eat, as they say, everything that moves. In every city in the world it is possible to meet at least one Chinese restaurant, and the menu in each of these restaurants will be diverse and extraordinary.
The prerequisite for opening a Chinese restaurant in any country of the world is the presence of Chinese chefs – it is absolutely certain that only a native of this country, which is largely incomprehensible to us, can cook a Chinese national dish properly. It is better if all the restaurant’s employees are of Chinese nationality, because it is noticed that chefs who know the secrets of national cuisine do not like to share their experience and skills with the chefs of other countries.
Chinese catering attributes are sold everywhere – red lanterns, dragons, porcelain dishes with painting, greenery… However, it is worth considering one thing – almost every symbol in Chinese attributes means something. That’s why the restaurant should be decorated only by professionals, which can be avoided when decorating traditional restaurants.
The tea ceremony is another detail of Chinese cuisine. Here it is necessary to study everything to the smallest detail, because for the Chinese tea ceremony is a special ritual. The dishes, varieties of tea, the sequence of actions – everything must be calculated.
The supply of spices, sauces and other Chinese foodstuffs should be a hundred percent taken care of, since no Chinese dish can be made without sauces and spices. The restaurant owner should have one permanent and reliable partner-supplier and several standby partners who can cooperate in case the main partner’s supply is interrupted.
Don’t forget that the main thing is exclusivity. Your restaurant should be remembered by the client not only with Chinese attributes or a specialty dish. There must be something in the concept which has never been anywhere else, which cannot be forgotten, which you want to return to!
