FAQs

If you do not have experience as a manager of a bar or as an owner, our advice is to start with someone who has already had similar experiences, so as to avoid mistakes from beginners. Also, if you do not have the capital to finance your bar, you will need to find investor or loan partners. Creating an estimate of your budget will help you determine the amount of funds needed to open the bar, which will also depend on the choice to acquire an existing business, or start from scratch. Many projects end up being more expensive than expected, due to unexpected legal obstacles or construction delays, and it may take more time for your store to balance and generate profits. In addition, your budget must also take into account transaction costs, licenses and permits, salaries, food and beverages. If possible, you should also start with a higher liquidity than initially calculated, so as to prevent problems related to the absence of funds. I know it sounds hard, but we're here to help you one step at a time.

To get on with your idea, you have to decide what kind of bar you want. Do you want to create a pub that also focuses on food, a cozy bar that serves craft beer, or a nightclub in a crowded area? Understanding what kind of bar you want will also help you understand the best area to open. Looking for areas where you could open your bar will also help you identify the competition and analyze potential customers. This information will help you avoid potential disasters such as opening a nightclub in a more suitable area at the opening of a tasting room. As soon as you know exactly what you're promoting, you can create a marketing plan. Online platforms such as websites or social media are very efficient and low-cost means of spreading the word about your new premises, and if used properly they are able to establish a relationship with the customer and create a positive perception of your business. You should start by advertising your bar before your opening to ensure that your potential customers are aware of your business, but make sure that an opening date is established so that they know when they will be able to visit your room.
