How long would it take for an English style restaurant in Poland to go bust? [80]
From where I stand the Polish eat at home and like what they like.
Give that to them. The milk bars still do good business and they don't have to be doudy depressing affairs. The advantage of a milk bar are that you don't have to worry about an alcohol license and the hours are more 7 am until 7 pm rather than nighttime work.
English speaking staff might be a novelty value especially if you opened near a University.
Affordable food in a funky environment with some subtle music and interesting decor as well as a good range of teas and coffee.
Aside from preparing the food you or your most trusted partner should run the till. Pay the staff that you employ above the average, let them have staff meals and generally look after them. This will foster a positive team atmosphere which will reap rewards in service and productivity.
Wow it all sounds so easy.....
