How to open a pizzeria: project design and room requirements

Opening a pizzeria is a very profitable business idea for both beginners and experienced entrepreneurs, although competition in this area is quite high, especially for large cities. But pizza is never a lot, it's loved by people of all ages. This dish goes on "hurray" and during quick snacks of office workers and students, and during gatherings with friends and relatives. For many, this type of business attracts a comparatively quick return on investment: 1 to 1.5 years is enough to make your investment in the pizzeria pay off, and it starts to bring a tangible income. On average, the profitability of such catering establishments is from 20%. If we talk about a pizzeria, in which there is also a delivery service, then the profitability index will increase to 50-60%.

Where it is better to open a pizzeria?

There may be several options:

• Not far from a large office center. Office workers - this is a significant part of your target audience. They can come to you during a lunch break or, more often, order a pizza right in the office.
• Near the educational institution (school, college, university). Students and students also want to replace the "dinner" dinner with a hot aromatic pizza.
• In one of the pavilions of the shopping and entertainment center, you can also open a pizzeria. There will be no shortage of customers, but be prepared for the fact that the rent will not be the smallest (depending on the location of the center itself and the location of your institution in it).
• In a residential area. Firstly, you will save considerably on payment for renting premises (as such, even an ordinary apartment or several adjacent ones can perform). Secondly, with competent promotion your pizzeria can become a favorite place of rest for local residents, because in the sleeping areas of entertainment facilities usually not so much. Thirdly, such a location is best suited for the organization of a pizzeria, which will deal with home delivery.

What should be the room?

If we talk about the area, then a small pizzeria will fit well on 25-50 sq.m. If you have the starting capital sufficient to open a full-length institution, then a room of 100-150 sq.m. Please note that the kitchen will occupy about a third of the area.

In all that concerns the design of the pizzeria, the redevelopment of the premises, the receipt of all the necessary facilities. Conclusions and approvals, your irreplaceable assistant will be a project organization. You will need its services also in the event that you want to use the apartment / several apartments / the entire first floor of the apartment house in the arrangement of the institution, because these areas will first need to be transferred to a non-residential fund.

Important:

• It is forbidden to place a pizzeria in the basement.
• If a catering establishment is located in a block of flats, noise and vibration should not bring discomfort to the occupants.

What are the requirements for pizzerias SES?

Pizza making refers to the production of bakery products, which means that the technology itself and the conditions in which it is sold must meet certain requirements established by the SES (Sanitary and Epidemiological Service). Let's note the most important:

• The presence of a functioning system of water supply (hot and cold) and sewerage.
• Supply and exhaust ventilation with sufficient power reserve.
• Wall tiling or tinting with water-based paint.
• Presence of contracts with organizations involved in the export and utilization of waste (food and non-food).

Correctly to plan the summarizing of all engineering communications and get the appropriate permits "without delays" you will be helped, again, by the project organization. Do not forget about the need to reconcile the pizzeria project with the fire department.

In the field of catering is not a place of economy and the search for various loopholes, because you are going to feed people, which means that in priority is not only convenience and own profit, but also the safety of customers!
