Hello Fellow Cheftalkers,

I currently in the stage of all due diligence and while seeking inspiration to get assure that my vision and idea is precise when sitting with consultants, potential angel/private equity investors, as well concept developers, etc...

I do not have any experience in the hospitality field and am fully aware there is a lot to learn which I am all in for.

Currently, I am aware that there must be strong business plan to present to potential investors but prior to i'd like to know more about getting the menu details right for the business plan, as well how to find staff such as general manager and kitchen manager? Can someone please assist and/or provide any general helpful info for starters.

I look forward to learning a lot from and contributing towards threads in cheftalk!!!

Hi Nicko,

Thanks for your response, Hope you guys have enjoyed your memorial day weekend.

Adventurous and entrepreneurial indeed — currently I manage talent in the entertainment and pro-sports world. I am looking forward to it in addition to consulting with some of my personal resources.

Oldfart, sweet name haha

I haven't thought about kick starter just yet as I am still in the process of properly getting the concept details and budgeting right — My current mission is the menu and kitchen details, I believe it would be wise to first consult with a chef regarding menu, kitchen appliances, hiring a well experienced chef, and suitable opening budget.

Any suggestions on how I should go about allocating the proper consultant? Anything I should look into before entering such discussion with a consultant?

Hope to hear from you soon - Thanks again guys!!

@Jaqqzada

So no ideas on what type of place you're going to put together ( Chinese, American, French, Japanese, Italian, etc. combination )?

Where are you thinking of doing this?

Probably a consultant wouldn't be a bad idea I guess.

I'm no expert on restaurants though, so don't take my advice on it...lol.

Good luck though !

I hope you get the restaurant going!

There is an idea, but being I am not the chef I have to consult with a chef to know how to find the right candidate for it.

The location I am aiming for is in the North New Jersey Area, which lacks a unique dining experience — A chilled atmosphere offering quality hospitality and dishes.

As per the cuisine I'd like to fuse latin styled seasoning with an artisan farm to table twist - creative mostly healthy premium dishes - hope that makes some sense.

Hi Jaq Qzada, I am currently within the culinary business trying to help new restaurateurs develope and maintain flavorful unique cultural dishes. If you need help with your farming method of twist table cutlery, I am more than willing to lend a few ideas. I'm currently residing in Michigan within farm county, with nothing more desirable than my own garden to grow. Artisan style has depth expecially within the development timeline of Latin incorporate semi seasonal dishes. If this style is what your looking for a peak at Provence 1970 will have a taste of aquirement. I hope this is of help to you. Regards.
