Hi friends,
I am the owner of a takeaway restaurant in DHA, Lahore and am looking to either sell this business or secure a partnership with someone who has the knowledge and expertise to manage restaurants especially takeaway and home delivery.
A little background...i purchased this running restaurant 6 months ago from a friends friend with the hope and hearsay that food business is the best business. No doubt its a very good business but only for experienced people. For me who has spent his last 15 years working in banks, it is a totally different ball game. Managing the food cost, arranging and keeping the workers, dealing with the vendors and facing roudy customers are a few things that i didnt knew i have to deal with after becoming the owner. And on top of it all, my job has become more demanding due to elevation of my role.
Now i m in fix what to do. I have spent an x amount of money on it and things are getting worse day by day. To be more specific, the daily average sale when i bought the place was in excess of 25k per day and it has come as low as 15k per day. And i am afraid if i remain unable to come up with some plan, sale will further reduce in coming days.
The good thing about the restaurant is that it is located in very nice location. It has an established brand to some extent. It offers a couple of exclusive dishes that are sold like hot cakes. Moreover, the restaurant is currently breaking-even, thus giving a lot of oppurtunity to prospective buyer. However, the restaurant need some re-doing as it is quite old and looks a lil out of date.
I will be equally happy to have someone as partner provided that person possess the right kind of credentials to manage and run the restaurant successfully. And if someone wishes to buy the place from me, that can also be discussed. In either case, i d like to have an intercaction through email or pm initially.
