Dreaming of opening a coffee shop, bakery, restaurant or other food business? This practical workshop at the British Library Business & IP Centre is designed to give you the groundwork you need before you commit to a competitive hospitality venture.
Led by Vasken Jermakian, a consultant and operator from Foodication Restaurants Ltd, the session covers how to test and refine your business idea, the key financial figures that determine profitability, and the operational essentials such as choosing suppliers, managing stock and building a strong team. You will also look at legal requirements, how to find and negotiate the right property, creating a memorable customer service experience, and using apps and technology to track critical financial metrics.
A Q&A session is included for your own questions. Afterwards, attendees can book a free 45-minute one-on-one session with the presenter to talk through their own project.
