Decide on the Concept
Your restaurant business plan should start with a crystal-clear description of the concept of the restaurant.
The objective and the description of the concept of the restaurant need to be very specific. This will give an overview of what the restaurant intends to do and for whom it intends to do it. The concept of the restaurant needs to be established because it is the core idea after which everything else will follow.
There are many things to be considered in designing the overall concept of the restaurant (excluding food) such as:
What type of restaurant do you want?
What special features would it have which would set it aside from all the other similar restaurants in town?
What’s the overall selling factor of the restaurant?
Defining Your Target Market
The restaurant’s target market needs to be identified. No single restaurant should try to aim at targeting all kinds of people. Even fast food restaurants have a specific target market, even though it may seem at first that it caters to people of all walks of life.
The concept of the restaurant needs to be aligned with the target market. The target market will depend on the owner of the restaurant, and the selection can be based on the type of food or even the personal preference of the owner.

This is a timely post for me. My business partners and I are about to start our bar and grill resto and we're halfway through with the concept, target market, and menu. We're going to utilize restaurant pagers to make our services faster, since we intend to put in live bands and events. This, we believe, will set us apart.
With restaurant paging systems and all other service-oriented concepts in place, we're just waiting until the soft launch of our resto. Thanks a lot for posting this entry. This is going to be definitely helpful to other restaurant business starters.
