“If you take ordinary, everyday tiles, refrigerators, not start the repair or just do not equip the kitchen, and do, say, only a bar, or open just something narrowly specialized, I think you can get away with $ 40 000, – shares his experience Yekaterina Drozdova, owner of the cafe “Stew.” – And if you have in mind a full restaurant, though from scratch, these investments can not be less than $ 400 000. ” The final figure will depend on the size of the restaurant concept and business model: for example, whether all the dishes are cooked in the kitchen or delivered from a single kitchen in the whole network.

Space rental

The cost depends on the location on a map, and of the appetite of the landlord. Square meter can be removed as a UAH 400 and $ 1000. Normal prices in good locations range from $ 500 to $ 800 per m ².

Rent to a maximum term of which only is possible, although there is a risk if the project is not successful it can become a headache in case of closing establishments.
