If you want to open a hot pot restaurant, what are the taboos that you need to pay attention to? It can be said that in recent years, after people have met their basic physiological needs, their requirements for food have further increased. Walking on the streets, we can see various restaurants everywhere. Among them, hot pot restaurants, as representative of the cuisine passed down from generation to generation in China, are still popular among people today. The threshold for opening a hot pot restaurant is low, but it’s not that easy to open a good restaurant.

The following will introduce some taboos that must be paid attention to when opening a hot pot restaurant.

1. Its own positioning is unknown.

In an industry, how to price and what price to set will have a greater impact on passenger flow. Hot pot, as a delicacy for the people, is overpriced, which will cause customers to become more picky about the dishes. There is no hot pot restaurant with a famous brand, and high prices cannot attract a large number of consumer groups. Therefore, a reasonable self-positioning is something that hot pot restaurants must seriously consider.

2. Remote location

There is an old Chinese saying that "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of the deep alleys", but for the opening of a hot pot restaurant, choosing a suitable address occupies a very important position. The operator should consider the surrounding environment and the age group of the customer group when choosing a location. As well as many factors such as consumption power, transportation, economic development, and the number of competitors, only with thorough consideration can we find a suitable address and create a good environment for the newly opened hot pot restaurant.

3.Improper decoration

The decoration of hot pot restaurants is the second most important factor after the taste of hot pot restaurants. People come to eat in the restaurant, sometimes not only to eat a taste, but also to eat an environment. Reasonable decoration at this time highlights the importance of hot pot restaurants. The decoration mainly considers two aspects. One is that the decoration should conform to the local culture, conform to the local aesthetics and customs, and create a comfortable atmosphere for customers. The second is that the actual needs of customers should be taken into account in details. The dish rack, the place where the dishes and chopsticks are stacked, the place where the condiments are picked up and the bathroom have clear signs.

4.Lack of specialty foods

Although the forms of hot pot restaurants are mostly the same, the existence of specialty foods is the guarantee that makes hot pot restaurants have their own characteristics. Good hot pot base is also one of the reasons. There must be good, characteristic signature dishes that attract consumers, so that they are popular.

5.Low staff quality

For hot pot restaurants, employee recruitment is very important, and there is a reason for that. 40-50% of the cost of opening a hot pot restaurant is used for labor costs. An efficient team of employees has an irreplaceable role in promoting the development of hot pot restaurants. For example, Haidilao, as a leader in the hot pot industry, has extremely high-quality Service quality occupies a place in the hot pot industry. Therefore, ensuring the quality of employees is a major consideration for hot pot restaurant operators.

It may be difficult to enter a new industry, and the same is true for opening a hot pot restaurant. As an operator, as long as you avoid the taboos of the hot pot industry and do the preparatory work, starting a business will be much easier.
