Restaurant Launch Blueprint — 60 Day Programme

Description

Most independent openings run late and over budget for the same handful of reasons, and nearly all of them are sequencing failures rather than money failures.

This programme imposes the sequence. Across sixty days it works through concept definition and target margin, menu engineering with costed recipes and a realistic gross profit target, supplier selection and negotiation, kitchen and front-of-house layout against the flow of an actual service, equipment specification, staffing structure and rota design, opening stock and par levels, the licensing and food safety registration path, pre-opening marketing and reservation build, and a structured soft-launch that finds the problems while the room is forgiving.

Each week carries defined milestones, templates and a checkpoint. It is a planning and execution framework built on how openings actually go wrong. Licensing, registration and inspection outcomes rest with the relevant authorities, and the programme prepares you for them rather than obtaining them.
