I am looking some advice from people who have set up their own business. I have been through a vast number of websites, some very useful and some not. However, there's no substitute for experience.
My partner and I are both in full time employment. I intend to stay in my present position but my partner is planning to leave to focus full time on the new business. We are adopting a successful business model from another country but adding a new theme based on the cuisine of my partners country of birth. Its a take away joint basically but with significant differences. Obviously I dont want to go into great detail, nor do I think many of you would be that interested.
We are in the process of developing our business plan, researching the market and so on. What I am trying to get a handle on is the realistic costs of setting up an outlet for fast food/take aways i.e. how much (ball park) do you need to get off the ground. I appreciate that this is hugely dependent on numerous variables. We are looking at either Dublin City or south dublin (Rathgar, Donnybrook, even Dun Laoghaire). Footfall is obviously important but our concept is more gourment orientated and based on the original model, encourages customers to make an effort to come to you rather than being reliant on passers-by.
I appreciate that this is very vague but I am only looking for some examples for similar new starts in the aforementioned areas. Also, any other advice e.g. references, websites, and agencies, would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
