My hubby & I had been talking about becoming owners of a restaurant, for several years now, When we heard about pop-up restaurants, we felt it was our option to find out if owning a restaurant was something we wanted to do.
It would be poor if we were to quit our tasks & mortgage our home, only to find out that being restaurateurs was not what we wanted to be.
By trying out a pop-up restaurant, we had little commitment. I had heard that several professional chefs opened pop-up restaurants just to build their culinary reputation. Because a pop-up restaurant is short term, it allows chefs to have total freedom & creativity in the bedroom. A pop-up restaurant could also help you entice would-be investors to try out our food. When I found out how easy it was to advertise for the pop up restaurant, I knew it was something we should try. Both of us worked up a menu, & all we needed was one meal. Both of us set up a complete numerous course meal & put the menu on social media sites. Both of us let everyone guess that we only had this limited menu, & that there were no substitutions. The biggest concern was that we did not guess how several people would show up & we had to prepare for whatever happened, whether it was several customers or one hundred ten. The best thing about opening a pop up restaurant was that if we didn’t prefer the work, there was no time limit on how long it had to be open. It could be a day, weekend, month or a week. People had to watch social media to find out when or if the pop up restaurant was going to open.
