Learn What It Takes to Open a Restaurant
Tuesdays, 3:30-5:30pm
Do you love to cook? Do you love hospitality? Do you hope to open a restaurant one day? Do you want to know what it takes and how to go about it? This course is for teens how love food and hospitality. We will learn how to create a restaurant business plan by working through your restaurant ideas and putting it to pen and paper. Each student will choose their own restaurant concept, create a menu, learn food cost, do competitive analysis, choose a location, layout the restaurant on paper, learn health department requirements, list equipment needs and cost, and eventually bind this all together to a full plan to present.
Syllabus
*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
