 Setting up and opening a restaurant business can be a worthwhile activity. Before you can feel the gratifications of your restaurant business, you have to face many challenges first. That is why, it is extremely important for every owner or would-be owner to create a solid business plan, research, and make sure that everything is complete before they start their operations.

One of the major issues that must be managed first is the startup expenses and the operating expenses. These are the reasons why the funding capital is the most important factor when somebody wants to set up a restaurant business.

Among the startup and operating expenses, supplies for your restaurant business are most important. Most of your operations will depend on this part. In fact, these are the main items necessary to keep your business running in its first few months.

To help you out, here is a list of some of the major supplies needed in your restaurant business:

1. Cooking supplies

These refer to the tools such as utensils, machines, etc. needed in cooking. You must be very particular with their respective specifications.

For instance, when buying a mixer, it is important that you buy a heavy-duty mixer with good mixing bowl sizes that can deal with demanding commercialized tasks. Try buying those with 575-watt motor that can blend approximately 9 pounds of mashed potatoes and 14 cups of “all-purpose flour.”

The idea of buying cooking supplies is to focus more on convenience and quality to facilitate the cooking operations.

2. Miscellaneous supplies

These things are usually needed for decorating, landscaping and other conveniences that your restaurant wishes to provide.

It could also refer to your storage area. These kinds of supplies will help you maintain a good storage area used in keeping the other supplies especially food.

Overview of Restaurant Risks

By Garland Drake

 Putting up and maintaining a restaurant business is never easy. The activities involved in the operations can be so tricky that some owners give up easily.

With this, experts say that it is important for any would-be restaurant owners to learn and identify any possible risks that might go with this kind of business. In this way, they would be able to know how to create some possible counter-measures in case these risks are already imminent and unexpected.

So for those who aren’t yet aware of the many possible risks of a restaurant business, here is a list of some possible dangers when it comes to restaurant management:

1. Food contamination

One of the common and major risks of starting up a restaurant is food contamination. You can’t simply and easily avoid this because, in the first place, the business is all about food. Even if the management is very particular with the ways foods are being handled, there is always a possibility that the food may be contaminated.

2. Prone to robbery and thieves

Restaurant businesses can be very risky. Restaurant businesses are prone to thieves and robbers taking active jobs in the restaurant. The problem here is that most of these people were already tried and trusted by their owners and can easily lure their bosses into believing that they can manage your business well, but in reality, they are in for some unscrupulous activities.

In restaurant operations, money is such an easy prey because it can be easily accessed from the drawer or cash register. It would really take an honest staff, particularly a cashier, in order not to be tempted with the easy money right before her eyes.

3. Property loss

Restaurant businesses can be very risky when it comes to property loss brought about by unexpected hazards such as fire. Since most of the activities of restaurant business are mostly focused in the kitchen, many possible accidents may arise. Most of these perils are connected to fire accidents.

It would be better for restaurant businesses to always have a ready fire extinguisher since it would normally take longer time to get some help once accidents like fire happens.

Knowing these risks will help you gain control on the business. Keep in mind that risks are inevitable but once you know what to do, the problems become less dangerous.

Chai Tea: Not to be Confused with Tai Chi

By Garland Drake

 Close your eyes, relax and take a deep breath. As you breathe, smell the aroma of the freshly brewed tea you are about to drink. The hot beverage can be soothing and relaxing. The aroma can be intoxicating and may clam your nerves, and help you relax after a long day.

Try a mixture of black tea, ginger cloves, pepper, nutmeg; add hot water, milk and honey and you have an unbelievably delicious version of Chai tea. It is a healthy answer to replace your morning cup of coffee.

Chai, the ch is pronounced like church and rhymes with sky. In the United States, it is abbreviated from Masala Chai. The word masala means a mixture of spices. Other derivatives are tea lattes which is essentially tea with milk. Chai is not a specific brand of tea, it denotes a method of preparation with spices and milk.

Tea is traced back to the Hindus and the use of a natural healing system which combines spices, herbs and is considered to have natural healing properties.

Chai is the word for tea in Asian cultures. Typically, it is made by boiling tea with milk and water. Depending on tastes, a variety of additives such as honey, lemon and spices such as cinnamon can be added. In some countries, tea is more popular than coffee.

The smell of tea can be a welcoming and relaxing experience. After a stressful day, there is nothing like sitting down, relaxing and enjoying a hot beverage. In the winter, what could be better than curling up to a warm fire and a cup of hot tea.

Most generally black tea is used and can be combined with molasses, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. The preferred way to make it in India is to boil the leaves with milk to get a strong flavor.

The spices used have health benefits such as antioxidants which help fight off cancer. Tea also helps lower cholesterol and lowers blood pressure. Cloves help generate body heat so that you are toasty in the winter and cold and flu season. Ginger aids the digestive and respiratory systems. Every drop of this tea is good for you, so enjoy a cup or two and have a stress free day! A five ounce cup of coffee has over a 100 milligrams of caffeine whereas, tea has half that.

The Wallahs are sellers of Chai tea. The tea is brewed in extra large kettles over a fire. The tea is served in small pots called kullarhs which are unglazed pots. Part of the ritual of drinking this tea, is destroying the pot after drinking the tea.

So next time you are considering a hot beverage, consider a cup of Chai tea. Your mind and body will be thankful that you did!
