In this clip of EYL, Rashad Bilal delves into the intricacies of the restaurant business and why it's often considered one of the most challenging ventures to succeed in. Through relatable analogies and practical advice, Rashad breaks down the core reasons behind the high failure rates in the restaurant industry and offers insightful solutions for budding restaurateurs.
Rashad kicks off the discussion by highlighting the numerous expenses associated with starting and running a restaurant. From securing a retail space and outfitting it with industrial kitchen equipment to maintaining sanitation and hiring staff, the initial capital required can be quite daunting. Moreover, he explains how fluctuating income streams, combined with consistently high expenses, often lead to the downfall of many restaurants.
One of the core solutions Rashad offers is the concept of the Minimum Viable Product (MVP). Instead of diving headfirst into a full-fledged restaurant, he suggests starting with a ghost kitchen—a cost-effective approach that gained popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ghost kitchens allow aspiring restaurateurs to rent industrial kitchen space and focus solely on food preparation for delivery services like Uber Eats, thus significantly minimizing initial costs and risks.
Rashad also emphasizes the importance of diversifying income streams within one business rather than juggling multiple ventures. For restaurants, he outlines seven potential revenue streams:
1. Dining-in
2. Delivery services (e.g., Uber Eats)
3. Cooking classes
4. Online cooking podcasts and videos
5. Merchandise sales
6. High-ticket coaching sessions for aspiring restaurateurs
7. Selling branded food items, such as spices and sauces
By leveraging these varied income sources, restaurant owners can create a more sustainable and resilient business model.
Throughout the episode, Rashad provides a wealth of practical tips and actionable advice, making it an invaluable resource for anyone looking to thrive in the restaurant industry or any other high-stake business. If you're an entrepreneur aiming to diversify your skills, manage your business more effectively, or simply understand the complexities of the restaurant world, this episode is a must-watch.
