The biggest question that new restaurant owners want answered is, ‘what is the key to success at my restaurant?’ They want to keep their commercial ice machines running and their profits high for as long as possible. The real answer, by all accounts, is to stick with the basics.
Let’s take a look at one of New Jersey’s best Italian places. It’s a family owned restaurant, authentic to the core, where the family is completely in charge of making it run. Dad cooks, Mom cooks, and the children work on the tables.
The menu is filled with Italian staples, including fettucine, manicotti, and more. It’s something to behold – the portions are incredibly generous. They treat you right, like you’re family, while using a ton of recipes from their own.
It’s no secret that the two biggest places where a restaurant has to shine are in the customer service and the food. If you’re not using those fresh ingredients or you’re treating each other poorly… it’s harder to succeed than if you’re doing it right.
Take a moment to think about the great things about your restaurant. What are some of the strengths that keep it going and make people want to come back? How can you build on those strengths and expand?
