The Deli serves a variety of meals for both sit in and take out for its customers and are usually themed food establishments that cater a certain type of food.

The Deli has many advantages over the traditional restaurant as there is only a small amount of space required and these usually frequent malls and food courts making it easily accessible to the public.

Before anything it is important to start with a business plan. Decide on what type of deli you want to manage including the theme, food available, and the services you offer such as take out, dine in and delivery. If you have no prior experience in running a food establishment then go around the locality and talk to people in the know that will be willing to share with you their experiences, also add goals both long term and short term to your business plan. Draft out everything that comes to mind in terms of plans for your business and segregate these ideas accordingly. It is best to do this with a lawyer in order to get all the legal aspects of the business. You will also need to prepare the documentation necessary for local registration of your business. Business the local government and ask for the requirements for starting a Deli business. Get the list and make sure that you have everything needed to keep within legal grounds.

Aside from the business plan you will also need to state the financials of your business. Depending on your budget you can go as elaborate as you want to as stingy as you want. Of course you will want to keep in mind that it is important to reach and attract the target audience in order to get your business off the ground. List down the requirements for your business in terms of the location rent, supplies and equipment and employees you need to hire. Note down estimates of how much this is all going to cost you. With this it is also a good idea to discuss the finances with an accountant to make sure that you don’t miss out on any important funds. For supplies you may want to consider whether or not you want to go for brand new machinery and equipment or second hand pre owned items. Remember that when you start out your business you need not spend so much on certain luxuries for the Deli as you may acquire these necessary items as your business progresses. Have a variety of suppliers to choose from to get the best deals and bargains, continually compare prices and start partnerships for supplies to get good prices.

As important as the business plan is the menu. You will want an attractive menu that will not only be pleasing to the palate but also something so unique to your business that customers will only come to you to get a taste of it. Gather a wider variety of recipes that follow the theme of your deli and do not be afraid to experiment on certain dishes until you get the best kinds. Make sure also that you hire quality employees that are able to execute these recipes keeping the taste and quality at its utmost best.
