Driving Your Pizza Business Forward
So, you’ve spent most of your life eating food from the great homemade recipes your grandmother has perfected. She in turn has learned them from her grandmother, who learned them from her own. This is the nature of great family recipe traditions and now it is you who are the popular one with all your friends. And you have heard more than once that you should open your own restaurant, and you have fantasized about the idea on your own. And now you’re finding yourself at a point in your life where it’s time to either make it happen or perhaps write a recipe book that will share the greatest pizza crust ever made. Of course you’ll also be disowned and cursed by your ancestors for this enormous betrayal of the great family secret. In this situation, the odds are probably in your favor to try your hand at establishing a pizza parlor. Once you make this decision, the reality of starting and running a business takes over and you realize you’re getting into a lot more than simply creating and selling a great pizza pie. Or are you?
It’s actually easier and more possible to do just that than what you might imagine. And there are a number of options and orientation structures that will apply to your specific situation and resources. For instance, you can start as small as you want, if you don’t have the business management or financial resources necessary to open a full-blown restaurant. If you have the passion and talent for creating a great pizza parlor, begin with independent sales and private orders. There will be specific guidelines and perhaps some catering license needs, and this will be some initial research you’ll want to look into. However, you can start your business small, and usually from your own home. Let the popularity grow, buy a new set of Hankook tires for your car and you’re ready to go.
This might sound like an oversimplification of the business structure and orientation process. However, if this is your passion and/or dream, it is certainly worth making the effort and beginning wherever and however you can. Take it one step at a time and let it build. Create a business plan that begins with private orders. You will see your pizza parlor develop under your eyes, and if you really have the talent and those secret family recipes, as well as the commitment and passion, you are likely destined to become a local, maybe even national or world icon. For now, make that trip to your local discount tires store, ready your vehicle, prepare your kitchen and let the orders roll. You’ll be surprised at how quickly the word spreads and you become an instant favorite.

Backpacking across Europe is one of the most rewarding experiences a recent college graduate can give themselves or receive as a graduation gift.
