Soo I’ve had the idea of starting a small restaurant on a permaculture farm for a while. Every single ingredient would be grown right on the farm and customers would be able to see and walk around the farm if they want(with supervision, I guess in a short tour?), im thinking it should be a vegan restaurant, it just makes more sense to me. All the food would be organic/pesticide free/herbicide free, This would be the healthiest restaurant in my whole country for sure.
The restaurant wouldn’t be on the middle of the farm but it would be right in the middle of a nice botanical garden. The garden would make the place so much more pretty and attractive, plus this way people can sit down benches placed around the garden and eat while. In my country theres not many 3rd place , I could advertise the place as a free botanical garden with a restaurant on it.
The farm would be right besides the garden but it would be fenced so people dont touch the plants too much or steal them. So yeah these are 3 ideas together, botanical garden/restaurant/farm. I feel like I can advertise the botanical garden and the vegan restaurant separately so its less confusin.
If you don’t know what overhead is, then my advice would be to not do this. At least not until you study some basic business management. Before you start this, you need to be able to calculate all the costs of your food, the cost to run the business each month, the cost of labor, know how you are going to market your business, and how many customers you need every day to break even. I love the idea of this restaurant, but restaurants have a high rate of failure in general, and this idea has an even higher likelihood of failure due to its complexity. If you have a lot of capital to start up, can grow the food yourself for really cheap, can find cheap labor, and are on an island with the right kind of wealthy tourists who could support this, it might work, but you need to really do your homework before you jump into it
