How To Find A Good Restaurant Site



Individual restaurants have different site criteria. A fast food restaurant, (such as KFC, McDonald’s or Burger King), a family coffee shop (such as Denny’s, IHOP, or Baker’s Square) and coffee house (such as Starbuck’s or Peet’s) have similar site criteria. They are all looking for high visibility, easy access, high vehicular counts and/or heavy foot traffic. Other types of restaurants such as a dinner houses or other upgraded operations are looking for a strong stable demographic base of customers which may include a combination of a strong neighborhood population, a dense business district, a heavy concentration of office buildings and/or a neighborhood or regional shopping center.

Many independent restaurant operators are competing against major chain operators for the best sites. Chain operators can normally beat out independents in acquiring these sites, as they can afford to pay higher rents because they generate higher sales volumes as a result of their large advertising and marketing budgets and their high physical presence in the marketplace.

Here are some of the ways independent operators can obtain good restaurant sites:

a) Look for a situation where an inexperienced operator has a good site and is not doing well and will most likely being going out of business in the near future.

b) Look at particular locations where local communities do not want chain operators and want only local independent operators in areas.

c) Talk to restaurant vendors and suppliers who know which restaurant operators are late pays and are having financial problems.

d) Check out restaurant sites where former operators are out of business and it appears that the equipment is still in tact.

e) Read the local newspaper restaurants for sale or business opportunity section and call various restaurants for sale. In more cases than not most restaurants for sale are in trouble financially and good deals can be made.

f) Call a restaurant broker specialist and there will more than likely to be a broker that will be happy to follow-up anonymously on your behalf on situations where it appears that the current operator is having trouble financially or there is a business that is closed, etc.

UBUD

Ubud is a town in central Bali, Indonesia, considered the arts and culture center of the island.

Ubud has a population of about 8,000 people, but it is becoming difficult to distinguish the town itself from the villages that once surrounded it. Ubud gets it name from the balinese word ubad (medicine).[citation needed]

Tourism on the island developed when Walter Spies came to Ubud, an ethnic German born in Russia who taught painting and music, and dabbled in dance. Spies and foreign painters Willem Hofker and Rudolf Bonnet entertained celibrities including Charlie Chaplin, Noel Coward, Barbara Hutton, H.G. Wells and Vicki Baum. They brought in some of the greatest artists from all over Bali to teach and train the Balinese in arts, helping Ubud become the cultural centre of Bali. A new burst of creative energy came in the 1960's in the form of Dutch painter Arie Smit (1916-), developing The Young Artists Movement. There are many museums spread all over Ubud, including Museum Rudana.

The main street is Jalan Raya Ubud, which runs east-west through the center of town. Two long roads, Jalan Monkey Forest and Jalan Hanoman, extend south from Raya Ubud. Puri Saren Agung is a large palace located at the intersection of Monkey Forest and Raya Ubud roads. The home of Tjokorde Gede Agung Sukawati (1910-1978), the last "king" of Ubud, his descendants currently live there and dance performances are held in its courtyard. It was also one of Ubud's first hotels, dating back to the 1930s.

Monkey Forest Park is a small nature reserve located near the southern intersection of Jalan Monkey Forest and Jalan Hanoman. It houses a temple and over 200 long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) monkeys.

About 5km to the west Ubud is the Ayung River and the village of Sayan, home to many upmarket hotels like the Four Seasons. Ubud is located at 8°31′12″S, 115°15′36″E
