Before embarking on your journey of establishing a food and drink business, equip yourself with the essential knowledge you need to have in order to run a successful and viable hospitality establishment.

Explore the best ways of testing your business idea and challenging it with all the available financial information. Learn how to prepare a competitor analysis.

Learn about the numbers that you should have in mind in order to make the business a profitable one. We will also talk about the process of choosing suppliers, effectively managing the stock, and talk about staffing and building a team amongst many other aspects of your business.

There is also an opportunity to find out about the necessary legal requirements and the importance of finding a suitable property.

The event will cover:

• Coming up with the idea

• Legal requirements
• The basics of choosing the right property and how to negotiate the right terms
• The customer service journey
