Want to Open an Indian Restaurant

[Saurabh]

Hello All,

Thank you so much for the help and support already.

I wanted your valuable guidance on how i can start an Indian restaurant in Netherlands , i have few queries regarding the same :

 

1) What is the tentative amount of money that i need to have , to open an Indian restaurant with capacity of 40-50 people in the centre of Eindhoven city.

2) Can i get bank loan for this at any special prices.

3) Can i bring in restaurant manager/Chef for this purpose from India, if yes is there any legal binding related to it.

4) How much cost will be involved in getting acquiring necessary licences.

5) Any other important aspect that i need to keep in mind.

Welcome to HL

 

The starting point of enquiry is always the municipality to learn about permits, legal, etc...

 

When it is safe to assume that your idea has a chance to succeed, you can start your orientation for location and price.

 

To raise a certain amount of capital you need to contact a bank and that requires a solid business plan.

 

Roughly that are the first steps to take. Here we cannot give you any estimate of costs, outcomes of legal matters, etc. All of your given questions are to be researched by yourself.

Note that the Immigration Service have been cracking down on Asian restaurants after severe maltreatment of a Chinese chef was uncovered in 2013. Just so you know that this is something you may need to pay extra attention to.
