Tips from founders for founders

  • It doesn’t all have to be perfect before you get started. If you get bogged down in the details, you often don’t get anywhere. Feedback is received from customers and optimized on the go. If you want to make everything perfect, you usually end up starting too late.

  • In the day-to-day restaurant business, preparation is vital. If you have clear structures and functioning technology in the background, you stay cool even when things get stressful.

  • No one has to solve everything alone. Support with the startup, administration or financing saves valuable time and energy and protects you from making avoidable mistakes.
