It is easy to start making money easily with restaurant business once you know how to cook delicious meals. Secondly, if you are in location that have enough population especially men, you can easily get people that will patronize you.

That's right it would be good to promote the business. Just be sure you are offering something very tasty though

Words of mouth is a great way to achieve this, you can let your friends and family know, and get them to tell others about it as well.

Just try and socialise with people around the location prior to the official opening. Let them know you would be opening on so so day. You would definitely get patronage within an hour of opening.

Just give Incentives: Offer grand opening discounts, promotions, or loyalty programs to attract early customers.

For a restaurant, the first customers should be close members of the owner's circle majorly. And a little bit from the locality. That's where the focus should be.

This is a very good argument for someone starting a restaurant. Your first customers should be close people like family, friends, and neighbors. They are the ones who can truly support you and even give you real feedback about your services. It's a great way to build a solid foundation.

You could run a soft opening with exclusive invites and post photos online. Use local influencers or micro-bloggers to build buzz. Even a simple giveaway like ‘free dessert for first 20 customers’ can create traffic

For me, before l could start any business of that sought l would have first conducted a feasible study on the area that l would start the business on. That's because the location for the business really determines it's patronage.
