The restaurant industry is constantly changing, and your restaurant needs to adapt and change with it to continue making a profit. Diners are savvy and care about their food and where it comes from, so restaurants need to do the same.

This article from Harvest America Ventures lists a few key things restaurants need to do in order to be successful. At the core, it means being passionate about your work.

Your restaurant should be clean and you and your staff should be dressed well. Clutter has no place in a restaurant and you should keep only dishes that are free of cracks or chips.

Great bread can make or break a restaurant, so consider what you’re offering. Purchase fresh ingredients and buy locally and seasonally as much as possible. Remember that bigger isn’t always better, and balance meat with plenty of vegetables.

Smile often! You’re happy your customers are there, so always greet them with a grin.
