Question
How to start a restaurant?
I would really like to start a small restaurant situated in Colchester. I have thought about it for about a year but whats stopping me is the lack of experience and knowledge in both business and food. Also I dont have the money, I know I would have to apply for a loan but im only 18 years old and would be affraid that I would be too young. Already I have decided on the location, type of food I would serve, aims and objectives in the first year. What do I need to do next?

I am in the same boat as you. I know that I have no shot at getting a loan, so I have started a few small ventures to try to raise the capital I need for my building.

I live in canada but I think Colchester is in UK. You are 18 so, the 1st thing you must do is go to a college where they teach hotel management and cooking. Over here it's a 2 year course and the most famous school is George Brown college in Toronto. You cannot open a restaurant without cooking experience and business experience. Sorry, but you are bound to fail. There is so much competition in the restaurant business and to succeed you have to be a good chef and know how to hire the right people and serve great food with great service. Second rate restaurants are a dime a dozen. So, get your education, save some money or get sponsors and wait until you are damned good. I wish you all the best Julie. W.
