I would start by doing lots of research on opening a business and jotting down just off the top of your head what you'll need to get started before you even try to figure out costs - listing everything will give you a place to start.  Here are some things I would think about:\n\n1) where and how big do you want this shop to be?\n2) what space is available in the area where you want the location\n3) will you need to do your own renovating/remodeling to the space\n4) do you plan to buy or rent the space?\n5) location is really, really important; are there other businesses in the area that draw people and might promote walk-in business for your shop?\n6) how close is your nearest competition? don't even try to compete with starbucks if they're anywhere near unless there's something so unique about your shop that you'll have your own niche following\n7) how will you advertise?\n8) will you need to hire employees\n9) who will handle the legal work? the accounting? \n10) how much insurance will you need - property insurance, insurance against loss of inventory, liability insurance in case a customer or an employee gets hurt in the store\n11)how much inventory do you need to get started?\n12) how much money do you need not just for upfront costs but to keep the shop going in the beginning before the business takes off\n13) have either of you worked at the kind of coffee/tea shop you'd like to own - are you willing to do that for awhile to really learn the ins and outs of the business?

I would still hire a server, just so that you and your guests don't have to serve yourselves and that way there is someone there paid to clean up, so they will. \nI would offer light, sweet summery wines and light beer.\nAnd what do you mean by BBQ? It means something different in the south and north. \nIf you're having honest to goodness BBQ, make sure the servings are smaller and less messy. Nobody wants to stain themselves in their best clothing!\nEither way, I'd make the servings smaller than normal, "finger food"-esque. Like bite sized hot dogs/hamburgers. It sounds so casual but a good chef can make them look brilliant and elegant. \nI would also suggest a fruit/vegetable tray and a cheese tray. And everything set out a la buffet style. \n\nAnd remember, it's your big day. Yes, you want the guests to be happy but when it boils down to it, make sure you are 100% happy with your choice!

Just be creative and write down all of your ideas.  Then brainstorm it.  You could put the choices on here and ask people thier opinion.\n\nHow about:  Liquid Joe, Joe's Mama, The Coffee Shoppe, The Coffery.\n\nYou could also use your name or someone else's name if it suits you.(ie..  John's Coffee House)

It is a high risk business. A record number of startup restaurants go bust within a year. Banks will not generally give a loan to start this business anywhere. You must have your own financial resources to invest.\n\nYou need to rent/buy a property that is permitted to carry out a restaurant business by the city. You will also need a business license from the city. You may also checkup about details of food inspection by the city and the procedure to register yourself for that inspection. The location must have ample parking space or else forget the business.\n\nThen put up a board "Coming soon - 80s Tongue Restaurant!" ;\n\nThen, find a few employees, with at least some of them with experience. Purchase essential equipment for storage, cooking and serving. Obtain the necessary furniture and decorate the place. Find suppliers of ingredients. It is cheaper to buy in bulk. Obtain electricity, water and telephone connections.  Get the music system in place. Get classic 80s music cds. Get a 1-800 number where people can call and reserve tables or order catering. Open a business bank account. Get the creditcard charging system in place. Make sure the toilet facilities are of high quality. Get childseats to elevate their position on chairs. Get high quality dinner plates, spoons and forks. People who come for dinner do so not simply for food, but also for the ambience, service quality, entertainment and experience.\n\nWhen everything is ready to go, change the banner outside to "80s Tongue Opening Sunday! Free Food on day #1 by reesrvation! Hours 12:00 noon to 10:00 pm! Call 1-800-80s-FOOD!"  Also print flyers, distribute them anywhere in the city, and mainly along the footpath.\n\nGood Luck!

THE STAFF!!  I have worked in restaraunts since I was 15 and I must say that if your staff isnt GREAT CHIPPER UPBEAT And ready to deal with the JERKS that walk in then you restaraunt wont do well either!  You need to establish a 'regualr' customer base and really get the word out.  2/3 businesses dont make it past the first year due to going into the hole.  Make sure that you are prepared to losse money your first year in order to provide promotions and specials to the public to get them into the restaraunt.  Make sure that since this is your first atempt that you only hire experienced servers and cooks.  This will not be the place to train new employees!  Make sure to set a budget for each month and make sure that you stay within it!!  I helped open a restarant in St. Charles MO and they are now making a killing off the business so this is where I get my info from.  Make sure also that who you have doing to books and all is someone who you TRUST!!  Accounting is a huge part as well!!  Make sure that you like all of the food that you serve cause if you dont like it and you wont eat it chances are that the public wont either.  Any time that you try a new dish serve it as a specail once or twice a week for about a month to see what the responce is to it first.  Have your staff taste things as well they will be your most honest critics!!  Cause they wont want to serve something that they cant sell... you have to think that servers make money directly off of your products.\n\nOh and feel free to IM me at justone_girl on yahoo.  I would love to help you out any more if I can

Then & Now\nThe Decorators Paradise\n\nWe can't do anything interesting here but type words.  So I will try to explain with words what I see in my mind.\n\nA circular "Logo" with  "T H E N  &  N O W" arched across the top.  "The Decorators Paradise" in an opposit arch around the bottom.  The whole thing on a white background with lots of lacy art work around the edges.  A sort of white, fading to lace on the edges.  In the center, you will have to help me out.  Select two items like an ultramodern end table and a 19Th century lamp setting on it to fill the center of the logo.  The lamp and table is offered only as an example, the idea is to display in the center of the logo a sharp contrast between the new and the old.  If you love this idea (and there is no guarantee you will) contact me we can swap some Email with me sending some pictures of my vision.\n\nGood luck on your venture.

You will need a number of licenses notably a public health license and preferably a liquor license as well. If you are customer with a bank and you have a good relationship with them, you would best off approaching them first. You might also want to read about setting up a business and writing a business plan. Finally, you might want to recruit key staff msot notably a chef if you are not planning to cook yourself. For advice relevant to your area, you might want to speak with your local chamber of commerce as well as your local business advice bureau. If you are a franchisee, the franchiser should provide you with advice about setting up your restaurant.

If you've already got your products manufactured or at least the idea jsut pick up the phone to head office of supermarkets and ask who the ready meal buyer is (fresh or frozen) and talk it through with each buyer. Each retailer has their own way of launching new products but the buyers will advise all.\nGood luck!
