It is not even worth saying that in the foreign environment, unflattering ideas about Russia, according to which our citizens have an unhealthy addiction to constant and immoderate consumption of alcoholic beverages, are still very common, to put it mildly.
No doubt, this is happening in our country. It is only in recent years that people began to understand that drinking is the most stupid way to live your life.
The well-being of the population has increased, the number of individuals who in proud isolation consume cheap alcohol on benches near the porches has sharply decreased.
In many ways, this was facilitated by the state’s legislative policy, which prohibited the sale of alcohol at certain hours.
This phenomenon has another side: an increasing number of people after a busy day would like to knock over a glass or two of strong drinks in some kind of cultural and clean establishment. The only problem is that there is simply nothing similar in many cities of the country.
Therefore, more and more enterprising businessmen are wondering how to open a glass from scratch. Contrary to popular belief, the trade in alcohol is quite accessible to entrepreneurs.
What is a wineglass?
At the word "wineglass", many of our compatriots immediately face a gloomy eatery in which dubious individuals drink draft vodka from plastic cups. In fairness, it is worth noting that there were a lot of such "cultural institutions" on the territory of our country in the 90s.
In fact, a glass is a place where a person can relax culturally and drink a few glasses of alcohol. As a rule, plentiful food is not provided, but in some cases beer restaurants also fall under this concept, where the assortment of edibles is sometimes no less than in some fashionable cafe.
What is the easiest way to open a pub?
Before you open a glass from scratch, think carefully: do you really have the abilities and finances to promote your business?
Let's look at two options: in the first of them you are going to open a drinking institution in a small city, and in the second - in a large metropolis. The difference in approaches is catastrophic.
The fact is that in a small village almost all the major players are in sight. If you open a fashionable establishment with reasonable prices and good service, then you will have customers quickly. In large cities, things are not so rosy. Before you open a wineglass, you must definitely study the prospects for the demand for alcohol in your area.
Franchise
The competition in various fields of business is simply huge, and therefore it will not be easy to declare oneself. You will have to spend huge amounts on an advertising campaign, as well as constantly arrange promotions, trying to attract wealthy customers. Wouldn't it be better in this case to think about buying a franchise?
The advantages are obvious: you don’t have to spend money on advertising, as a well-promoted business will already be heard by everyone. In addition, brand owners help both with the organization of the business itself and with the training of specialists for it. Of course, there are enough shortcomings: depending on the fame of the original trademark, its owner will have to unfasten up to 70% (in especially expensive franchises) of income.
However, it’s enough lyrics, it’s time to move on to the direct organization of your business.
Form of incorporation
Immediately upset those who decide to do with a standard IP. Before you open a glass from scratch, you must register your LLC, since 218-ФЗ, which was adopted in 2011, states that only organizations have the right to sell strong alcohol.
What equipment do we need?
Of course, without equipment you will not go far. Here is a list of the most necessary things that you will need in any case:
- at least a primitive bar, which will cost you at least 50 thousand rubles;
- refrigerated display cases for storing and displaying cold snacks. If you plan a restaurant-wineglass, you will have to purchase roomy refrigerators for storing raw materials. Cost - from 200 thousand rubles and above;
- refrigeration units for storing alcoholic beverages. Many of them do not tolerate a long stay in conditions of elevated temperatures, as this significantly affects the taste of the product;
- in case you plan to serve beer at your place, you will also need kegs and antifoam agents.
Do not forget about the acquisition of tables and chairs, which can comfortably accommodate those visitors who are not enthusiastic about the prospect of eating hot dishes sitting at the bar.
Thus, before you open a glass from scratch, you will need at least 200-300 thousand rubles for initial expenses.
Bureaucratic delays
As you might guess, there are a lot of papers to be collected:
- depending on some factors, the registration of an LLC will take about 1-5 thousand rubles;
- contract for the purchase or lease of premises intended for opening a wineglass;
- registration with the tax office of the cash register;
- permission to carry out trading activities (obtained from the local administration of the Moscow Region);
- permits from SES, firefighters and Rospotrebnadzor. They will take another 100 thousand rubles;
- You must enter into employment contracts with all employees of your organization.
SES requirements
Since we are talking about SES, it is necessary to disclose this issue in more detail. What needs to be done to earn your bar? A wineglass (and this is one of the main requirements) should be located at least five hundred meters from the nearest educational or preschool institution. Moreover, you need to start the countdown from the external fence.
The glass room must have hot and cold water, a sewer system and separate toilets for employees and visitors. It is necessary to provide daily wet cleaning with solutions of disinfectants.
For each employee, it is necessary to have a separate medical booklet, in which the data of regular and mandatory medical examinations are entered. If you plan to organize your own preparation of cold snacks and hot dishes, you will also need to hire a professional chef and food production technologist.
About the fight against parasites ...
Any cafe (a glass shop also belongs to this category) must necessarily conclude agreements with specialized organizations for the export of food waste, as well as the conduct of deratization and disinsection of premises.
Among other things, for each type of food raw material that you will use for cooking, there must be a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion.
In general, this is a good business. A wineglass will require about 600 thousand rubles or more for its organization, but already in the first month it can bring its owner at least 40 thousand rubles of profit. Count on stable receipt of funds should be only six months after opening. This is due to the fact that by that time you will already have a circle of regular customers, who will form a stable amount of your revenue. If everything goes well, the profit will constantly increase.
