How To Run A Successful Restaurant & Hotel Business

im goin to open up a restaurant in Michigan?

Ive been looking and i cant seem to understand what everything i need to be a licensed business owner is. like all the forms and stuff so i dont get shutdown at all in anyway shape or form. please help me with every form i need and i will try to help you in any reasonable way. thank you.

This economy makes now one of the worst times in a long time to try any new business venture. It’s not easy to beat the odds but if you find your niche, anything is possible. I helped an employer years ago shift into food service (adding a deli to an existing store). We first contacted one of our main suppliers to see how they could assist us with general supplies-both food and fixture. From there they set us up with a rep to give us his presentation and from our discussions he gave us a lot of tips and leads on licensing, etc. Outside of his help I contacted the local health department. I got in contact with someone for an initial visit to show them rough ideas for our set up. He was quite helpful with early suggestions for things we hadn’t even considered-where best to NOT have sinks, to install wall coverings that were easy to wipe down, what the locality required of us on our packages, licenses we’d need, etc. He gave us other leads but he turned out to be our most important resource as he would also be the one person that could shut us down if we were doing things wrong. Hope that helps.
