Do your research, see what other restaurants there are in your area and make sure you choose a location with a good footfall.
Location is the most important thing to look for when opening up a restaurant. You will also need to go through the figures very carefully. Think about your reasons for wanting to set up a gallery café. Is it because it’s a good business proposition or because it’s a dream for you. Dreams can fast become nightmares if you don’t take a good hard nosed look at your proposal. Any form of catering can be very hard work and often with very little reward, so be very careful.
