Setting up a takeaway / food establishment
Discussion
Hi all,
After some advice please and ideas on how much this could take.
Have a cash surplus doing nothing and an idea for a 'food' concept in the form of a takeaway which is currently in quite short supply, at least where I live it is. Without going into too much detail on the concept I'm interested to hear the experience of others in regards to setting up a food business.
I have limited catering experience, few years in my younger days so would be looking to put someone with experience in to manage it on a small salary. I'm looking at small premises, kitchen out back, counter, 2-3 tables/chairs, couple of stools. Property not to require change of use so existing rating to be able to sell food.
Fit out will be done as cheaply as possible as the concept doesn't require it to be posh porcelain etc, it can be very raw in it's appearance. Food hygiene rating seems straightforward unless I am missing anything.
When all my local shops seem to be going under, the takeaways are booming with new ones opening up every so often. I'm thinking this could be a good business to oversee while I continue on with my day to day operations.
How much cash does something this small normally take to get up and running?
Any advice much appreciated - thank you

I'm doing something very similar - I'll pm you in a minute with some details, happy to have a chat about it but its all new to me also.
I would imagine the quoted bit below is going to be your problem - hard to find someone to manage it all on a small salary, whilst working crappy unsociable hours, without them dipping the till or ripping you off surely?
Sorry I should have been more clear, I mean a small salary compared with what I am used to in my normal line of work in IT. What would you say is a fair salary for the role??I would imagine the quoted bit below is going to be your problem - hard to find someone to manage it all on a small salary, whilst working crappy unsociable hours, without them dipping the till or ripping you off surely?
