How to open a small restaurant

If you’ve ever dreamt of opening your own restaurant (and you’re in good company if you have) you may believe that a unique concept, a love of food and drink, and a welcoming nature is all that’s required.

However, while running a restaurant can be hugely gratifying, the reality is that it takes these things, a great deal of hard work, grit, determination, passion, energy and more to get it off the ground, let alone make the business a success.

Nevertheless, the hard graft shouldn’t put you off following your dream. Many successful independent restaurateurs are happily trading and proving it can be done.

To make the job of opening a small restaurant a little easier, Access Hospitality has put together this handy, step-by-step guide, so you don’t have to navigate the journey alone.
