The location of the restaurant: an important factor for success.

When searching for suitable restaurant properties, location is one of the most important criteria. Different types of restaurants have different requirements when it comes to location.

The most important questions when searching for a location are:

  • gastronomic environment
  • Trendy neighborhood or outskirts
  • Foot traffic
  • Visibility
  • Walking distance
  • Length of shop window
  • Parking
  • Connection to public transportation

The location: the most important factor for success!

When searching for suitable restaurant properties, the location is one of the most important criteria. Different types of restaurants have different requirements in terms of location. If, for example, you are opening a bar, you should look for restaurant properties in trendy neighborhoods. On the other hand, a restaurant can also be successfully opened in neighborhoods outside these trendy areas. Other important location factors include visibility, transport links, parking facilities, and requirements arising from regional building regulations. In addition to a competition analysis, a location analysis should therefore be carried out as a basis for deciding for or against potential restaurant properties. Our consultants provide objective and targeted support in this regard.

Footfall.

In addition to your own business concept, an important indicator and success factor is the footfall at the location of the desired restaurant property. With the help of our frequency report, our consultants can provide you with precise information about this important key figure. Here, even a few meters into a side street can have fatal consequences and result in enormous drops in footfall.

Location, location, location.

Highly visible locations are generally better for a restaurant business. Since outdoor advertising is usually permitted on the property, location is one of the most important factors.

Look to the future.

It is equally important to look at the surroundings of the chosen restaurant property. Are new urban districts being developed or are better restaurant properties being built in better locations just a few meters away? A city is constantly changing, so it is worth taking a look at the surrounding area. Our consultants can provide you with up-to-date insights and thus support you objectively in assessing the location.
