Permission to open a cafeteria. What documents are needed to open

Dining room opening real opportunity successfully invest in a low-budget anti-crisis enterprise. The reason is the high market demand for inexpensive, but high-quality catering services. At the same time, it is important to know the requirements for the organization of the dining room and follow them from the very beginning.

 

Catering has already become a part of our life. It is impossible to imagine the everyday life of a modern city without business lunches and relaxation after a hard day with a cup of coffee. Among the various formats, one of the most popular is the dining room. Reasons: democratic (visitors are ready for full or partial self-service "in exchange" for the low cost of dishes), demand (more and more people prefer to dine out of the office), good alternative fast food. But before you open a canteen, you need to choose the format of the institution, find out the requirements from the regulatory authorities, take into account your risks and opportunities.

In order not to make a mistake when drawing up a business plan, you need not only to present your business in detail, but also to predict its profitability. To do this, start with a prospective analysis.

Prospects for opening a canteen in a crisis

IN last years The catering sector developed especially vigorously in large industrial centers. According to VTsIOM data from 2014, 62% of the urban population uses catering services. For the first half of 2014, the growth compared to the same period in 2013 amounted to about 9%. However, many metropolitan areas are still significantly behind in terms of the number of seats in enterprises Catering from cities Western Europe. According to www.aif-nn.ru, there are 120 people per restaurant in the USA, 300 in Europe, and about 2,000 in Russia.

Here are the statistics provided by Deputy Mayor of Moscow A. Sharonov (see Table 1)

*Data 2013

Since the purchasing power of the population has decreased, and the habit of dining in public catering establishments has remained, canteens are becoming more and more in demand.

GOST 31985-2013 defines a canteen as a public catering establishment, public or serving a certain contingent of consumers, producing and selling dishes and culinary products in accordance with a menu varied by day of the week.

Canteen formats have their own characteristics (see Table 2)

Table 2. Format by Type, Location and Range*

		Location	Range
Canteen at the enterprise	Closed	On the territory of the plant, factory, organization
dietary	Public	In a residential office space, mall	Special: sale of own-made products according to a special recipe for dietary nutrition
Student (school)	Closed	On the territory of the educational institution	General: Implementation finished products other catering establishments
Network (by franchise)	Public	On the territory of a shopping and entertainment center, in a residential or detached building, etc.	Special: implementation of a branded assortment, which can be represented by semi-finished products of a high degree of readiness
Public	Public	In the industrial zone, in a residential or detached building and near enterprises and office centers	General: sales of own-made products

The profit of the institution directly depends on the quantity and quality of the services provided. However, the service line also depends on the concept. Let's compare the capabilities of the three most popular canteen formats (see Table 3)

*In the dining room at the enterprise, it is possible to hold banquets for third-party organizations if there is permission from the management and a collective reception of guests through the entrance is organized. The order of culinary products is available only for employees (or additional points of sale are organized outside the territory of the enterprise)

Summary: The greatest freedom for the development of different directions is given by the formats of a public canteen and a network (by franchise). This is due to their territorial accessibility and democratic prices.

How to attract additional funds for the opening?

Although in general, opening a canteen from scratch requires less initial investment than a cafe or restaurant, it can be difficult to manage with personal funds during a crisis. Given this circumstance, many banks offer aspiring entrepreneurs to open a franchise or completed business plan. In particular, www.forbes.ru talks about the project of Sberbank, which developed the Business Start loan product together with the leading consulting firm CJSC Gorislavtsev and K. Audit. As part of the project, clients are offered not only an attractive interest rate on a loan, but also support at all stages of building a business. There are similar offers in other banks.

Choice of legal form

Canteen owners often stop at organizational form IP. State duties and fines in this case are lower than with an LLC, but the entrepreneur is responsible for all violations, incidents and debts with all his property, even those that are not involved in the business (dacha, apartment, etc.).

In accordance with the organizational and legal form, the taxation regime is selected. UTII is considered the most profitable and easiest to account for, but many entrepreneurs choose STS income reduced by the cost.

What requirements must the dining room meet?

You have decided to open a canteen. Where to begin? Study the requirements of the legislation for public catering and carry out the necessary approvals.

Coordination with Rospotrebnadzor

The selected premises must be agreed with Rospotrebnadzor in a notification manner. This means that the use of the premises under the dining room does not need prior permission from this controlling organization. However, you need to know the requirements of Rospotrebnadzor, because a discrepancy during verification in the future threatens with serious fines and even suspension of activities. Since January 1, 2016, GOST 30389-2013 has been in force, recommended for use by catering enterprises as national standard.

Important! According to federal law 532-FZ of December 31, 2014, as amended, from January 23, 2015, Rospotrebnadzor received the right to inspect public catering establishments without prior notice (previously, it had to warn the entrepreneur about his visit 24 hours in advance).

According to the current requirements for the dining room (recommended by Appendix B to GOST 30389-2013), it must have

• signboard
• entrance for guests, separate from the service entrance for staff
• hangers in the hall or lobby (hall)
• service hall
• toilet room (own or shared with the enterprise where the dining room is located)

Requirements for technical equipment (coordination with the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations):

• stationary generator or batteries to provide emergency lighting
• hot and cold water supply
• heating (for catering establishments, the recommended temperature regime is 19-23°С)
• ventilation system that provides acceptable temperature and humidity parameters
• fire extinguishing system
• security alarm
• availability of fire extinguishing equipment (fire insulation, fire extinguishers)
• Illuminated exit signs
• if the dining room is located in a residential area, soundproofing must be provided ( allowable level noise less than 35 dB)
• toilets should be equipped with cabins, washbasins with a mirror, electrical outlets, toilet paper, soap or a dispenser with liquid soap, paper towels or electric towels, coat hooks, waste baskets

Important! To obtain a permit for the operation of the selected premises from the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, it is necessary to study in advance the requirements for equipment from this authority and bring the premises in line with them.

Personnel Requirements

In accordance with the Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated April 12, 2011 N 302n, the staff of a catering enterprise must undergo medical examinations both before hiring and periodically (once a year).

By following the legal requirements when opening a case, you save your future profits, as this will help you avoid sanctions from regulatory authorities.

Output

The catering market in Russia is far from being saturated. During the crisis, the canteen as a business competent organization can bring stable income due to a constant audience and high traffic. However, at the initial stage, the enterprise will require investments in equipment, rent of premises. At proper organization activities, a good location of the enterprise and high-quality service, you can achieve a good payback in a short time. For a quick start-up, you can take advantage of a franchise and preferential lending programs from banks.

One of the most profitable business areas is the food industry. Various cafes and restaurants have been and remain popular at all times. Establishments are not less popular general nutrition- canteens. Today we will talk about how to open a mini dining room from scratch and make exemplary business plan gourmet enterprises.

Pros and cons of the dining room as a business, if you open it yourself from scratch

Catering tries to provide food a large number of people in the shortest amount of time. In the dining room, visitors are offered pre-prepared menus (first, second, third course), because of this, the rest of the employees can only distribute and prepare quick salads, teas, compotes.

• high permeability;
• minimum queues;
• a small number of staff;
• growing demand;
• simple organization of the place.

• you can not guess with the place (it is desirable to open near business centers, factories, enterprises);
• lack of a wide range.

What you need to open a small dining room: decide on the format

• At the enterprise

Closed catering establishments operating on the territory of a certain organization for its employees. TO this type include canteens at enterprises such as factories, factories, concerns, etc. It sells homemade dietary products.

• dietary

Is public. The location may vary at the request of the entrepreneur - office, residential building, shopping center etc. The institution sells products prepared independently according to dietary recipes.

• In an educational institution

Public catering closed type, located in schools, universities, colleges and other educational institutions. Implemented dietary products own production. It is under special control of Rospotrebnadzor.

Public establishments, network type, can be located on the territory of shopping and entertainment centers, the first floors of a residential building or in a separate building. The range of products established by the franchisor is subject to sale.

• Public

Public establishments in locations located near businesses, office buildings and other organizations. Products of own production are realized.

Institutions of a closed type are closely related to the organization on whose territory they are located. Here, the moment of favorable communication with the management is especially important, since if problems arise, the enterprise may refuse to cooperate. More independent is the canteen owner open type. He has more opportunities and the right to independently manage the enterprise.

When choosing public form organizations, you can not only perform the direct functions of a dining room, but also organize banquets, weddings, catering and ordering cooking.

A win-win option is the emphasis on "home" cuisine. This positioning allows you to attract customers even with a small assortment of menus - 2-3 first courses, 3-4 second courses, 3-4 salads, drinks, bakery products. It will not be superfluous to add seasonal dishes, that is, updating the menu as the seasons change. For example, when spring comes, you can add a salad from fresh vegetables, since people have already missed them during the winter, moreover, such a dish is a source of a vitamin charge. For banquets, you can develop an extended menu with an additional set of dishes.

Speaking about the working hours of a public institution, you can dwell on the following format: Monday-Friday from 9:00 to 18:00, Saturday from 10:00 to 15:00, Sunday is a day off. Thus, you will capture the maximum flow of workers from offices, factories, factories, etc. The choice of operating mode depends on the goals you want to achieve, the chosen format of the institution and the target audience.

We draw up a business plan for a canteen

First of all, we set business goals. The specifics of canteens are strikingly different from the specifics of cafes and restaurants. Coming to the dining room, visitors aim to satisfy hunger, that is, just to eat, while when people come to the cafe, they want to spend time, relax, and chat. Dining room customers want to get tasty, quickly prepared food at a low price.

1. FAST. Often, visitors to the dining room at lunchtime are employees of nearby organizations and offices who have limited time for a lunch break, so they do not want to stand in lines throughout their free time. Customers want to quickly purchase food, so that then its reception is measured and unhurried.
2. TASTY. In order to get a permanent audience of consumers, which will only grow, it is necessary to prepare delicious meals from quality products. In this case, advertising costs may not even be required - the rumor about a good dining room will spread itself.
3. INEXPENSIVE. For most visitors, visiting the dining room is regular event, so it should not bring a large amount of costs. If customers wanted to spend a large amount of money, they would prefer a canteen restaurant where prices are a priori higher. Unreasonably high prices can scare off visitors and lead to "burnt business".

If, when developing a business model for a future enterprise, one adheres to the principles listed above, then it is possible to develop a high-quality institution that will be popular, and therefore profitable.

We choose the organizational and legal form of the enterprise

Also, the company can be issued for a single tax on sane income (UDV). It is calculated from the tax base and the rate.

The first is calculated as follows: a physical indicator (the area of ​​​​the dining room) * basic profitability (set tax code, 1,000 rubles) * coefficient 1 (set by the Minister of Economic Development, now 1.4942) * coefficient 2 (established by municipal authorities at the location of the enterprise).

Increasing profitability and profitability from the canteen

There are several ways to increase the profits from your diner:

• deliver food to offices;
• hold banquets and events;
• open a franchise.

The first option will be attractive if you agree with direct companies on corporate lunches, then you will be in the black and the delivery will pay for itself. If this service is used by no more than 10 people per month, then you will spend more on the services of a courier or a special delivery service.

In any case, it is beneficial to hold banquets and events, because the profit will be much higher, but the staff will have to pay extra.

We hope we helped you find out where to start to open a canteen or diner, we wish you good luck in your endeavors.

Here we will look at an article on how to open a canteen, finished example business plan for its opening from scratch.

Whatever the city - the capital or the province, and the number of canteens in them is small. Why did it happen? And all because of the fact that for many people, especially the younger generation, the word "canteen" is associated with something old-fashioned, which is reminiscent of the times of the USSR. Therefore, modern businessmen often call their establishments "restaurants", because that sounds much more attractive. Hence, there are two views on one problem - on the one hand, this is an interesting innovation, on the other hand, this is a dining room that was presented to visitors from the other side.

Canteen business plan

So, how to open a dining room from scratch? We present to your attention a ready-made example for its opening.

Business form

The form of doing business for this project - individual entrepreneurship - is the most best option. And if legal entities are the suppliers of raw materials and components necessary for opening a canteen, then a legal entity will have to be opened. If this does not follow, then the best option is individual entrepreneurship.

Analysts, after analyzing all the necessary indicators, argue that such a business as opening a canteen is very successful. And all due to the fact that many settlements do not have such institutions.

About the institution

Since the canteen is created for clients with an average level of income, the prices for products in it should be low, but appropriate.

Services to be provided

The business plan is drawn up so that the following services will be provided in the dining room:

1. creation and sale of hot breakfasts;
2. production and sale of wallpaper;
3. cooking for corporate parties, memorial services, alumni meetings, etc.

Market and competitors

This item reveals and contains all the necessary information about the canteens, which are located in a particular city or town. Determine which of them are competitors and which are not. Knowing all the mistakes of competitors, you can take them into account and prevent their appearance in your institution.

Production part

The most important point will be the search for a dining room. A place that with the convenience can become a popular catering corner. It is for this reason that the search for a place must be given due attention. The best place the location of the dining room will be the area where the largest enterprises are located, and even better if the dining room is located on the premises of these enterprises. Another good option is to place a dining room in a new shopping center. At first, the builders of the center will be your first customers.

In order to pass all kinds of checks, as well as instances, one should take into account the presence of the main and emergency exits in the dining room, as well as its division into two parts: one of which is the kitchen, and the second part is the hall. As for the level and size of the room, everything will depend on your financial capabilities.

Particular attention should be paid to the equipment that is necessary for the dining room. A large number of companies that are ready to provide the necessary equipment for the dining room are on the market. The only difference is price and quality.

Dining room equipment:

1. plates, which are necessary for the manufacture of hot products;
2. ovens and cookers;
3. production and cutting tables;
4. washing;
5. tables and chairs for clients;
6. utensils for cooking and serving meals.

The very result of its work will depend on the staff of the dining room. Therefore, when choosing personnel, treat this matter carefully and selectively.

After the traveled path, the next step should be taken, which will be the advertising company of the dining room. The success of any institution depends on this business. And here any means are good - you can use ordinary advertising, but guerrilla marketing is much better.

Chefs with experience should be able to cook any dish of Russian cuisine. To do this, you must specify that the menu will consist mainly of Russian cuisine, and then everything else. The business plan provides for the presence of such employees in the dining room:

• one manager;
• two chefs;
• two kitchen workers;
• one dishwasher;
• one auxiliary worker;

One cleaner, one cashier.

The menu of the opened dining room should contain a list of the most important dishes of traditional Russian cuisine. As a rule, this list includes: borsch, a couple of soups, hodgepodge, potato dishes, meat dishes, various salads.

When all of the above is taken into account and implemented, then we take up the discovery. Due to the location of the dining room, a large-scale advertising campaign is not required. Food must be of the highest quality in order to win the love and respect of future customers. In the future, this will allow stealing customers who already eat at establishments of this kind.

Financial plan of the institution

This paragraph of the canteen business plan was created to calculate both the expenses and income that are so necessary for overall assessment payback of this institution.

The expenses include:

1. rent of the selected premises - 1 million rubles / year;
2. purchase, total necessary equipment- 500 thousand rubles;
3. remuneration for the work of personnel - 2.040 thousand rubles / year;
4. and other overhead costs - 100 thousand rubles.

In total, 3.640 thousand rubles came out. - This amount is required for the initial investment.

Consider income:

1. sale of hot meals;
2. providing food at banquets, parties, etc.

Based on these data, the payback of the canteen will be 1-1.5 years, and these are very good indicators in modern environmental and social conditions. Let this business plan help you open a canteen and start your own business. It remains to wish only good luck.

A good catering establishment can compete with fast foods. Adherents of healthy food will always give preference to them and become regular customers that bring a stable income.

It is best to implement this idea in the format of a dining room located in a good place. With a thorough approach to business, it is quite possible to get excellent profits in a relatively short period of time.

The first choice that a novice entrepreneur should make is to decide whether he will go on an independent voyage or turn to the services of a well-known brand. Each of these activities has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Such engineering Communication, how ventilation system, should be carried out before the start of cosmetic repairs.

Canteen equipment

High speed customer service will be provided by modern professional equipment good quality. For the organization of uninterrupted work you will need:

• Refrigerators. For fish, meat, dairy and confectionery products.
• Cookers and ovens
• Professional hoods
• Production and cutting tables
• Trade showcases that keep the temperature of dishes and protected from visitors by glass, combined with selling distribution lines
• Professional dishwashers
• All kinds of kitchen utensils and storage cabinets
• kitchen electrical devices for professional kitchens, such as a slicer, coffee maker, microwave oven, electric meat grinder.

Absolutely all canteen equipment must have a high level of resistance to constant disinfection.

Furniture for the hall, and these are tables and chairs, must comply with all sanitary and hygienic standards and fit into the interior of the dining room.

Recruitment

A smiling girl at the checkout and quick cooks are the key to the smooth operation of the canteen. Before putting the business into operation, it is worth involving the entire team in preparatory work to see them in action.

From the proposed 2-5 options, the visitor chooses one ready-made set and follows it to the cashier. In this case, you need to carefully consider the menu so as not to lose a particularly demanding client.

The interior should be decorated in gentle, unobtrusive colors. It will not be superfluous to have some interesting zest that distinguishes the dining room from its competitors.

It is better not to install wireless Internet, this can create a significant hitch and increase the visit time, which will reduce the availability of free places and the rapid flow of visitors.

Registration of documents and permits

Of course, one cannot do without registration of individual entrepreneurship. A sample of filling out an application for state registration of an individual entrepreneur, form P21001 can be downloaded below for free.

After the premises are selected, you need to apply for permits to the Committee for City Property Management, the Committee for state control and protection of cultural monuments, Tekhnadzor.

Before commissioning, after the completion of repair and installation of equipment, contact Fire Service and the City Sanitary and Epidemiological Service.

The arrangement of the dining room on the ground floor of a residential building will require the withdrawal of space to the non-residential fund, which will entail additional paperwork.

The profit of the canteen is formed from the sale ready meals. With the cost of a complex lunch of 250 rubles, and an average visit of 350 people a day, one can predict a turnover of 30-40 million rubles. in year.

The profitability of the canteen is approximately 25%, respectively, the approximate payback period and reaching net profit will be 1-1.5 years.

Even if there is high level competition, but a serious approach to business, reach a decent level is not difficult. And grateful visitors will be the best reward for a novice entrepreneur.

collapse

IN big cities cozy cafes and restaurants are being created on every corner. The very word "canteen" is associated with a catering point where you can eat hearty and inexpensive. Young people bypass such places, preferring more advanced establishments, but older people visit such food outlets with great pleasure.

With proper management, a canteen can easily compete with even the most expensive restaurants. To open a dining room, you need to know some of the nuances.

Differences between an ordinary canteen and a restaurant

• The opening hours of the dining room should coincide with the work schedule of organizations located nearby.
• The menu in the establishment of such food is simple, but varied.
• No alcoholic drinks.
