Opening a kebab shop is one of the most favorable business development opportunities for experienced and even novice entrepreneurs. Such establishments can be opened in several formats, namely seasonal (tent kebab shop) and stationary (an establishment similar to a cafe, but significantly different from it in terms of its range of dishes). An obvious plus is that each entrepreneur can choose the option that suits him best and develop his business in the right direction. In this case, this segment of entrepreneurship is characterized by high profitability, low costs, good payback and low risk. In addition, one of the advantages of opening such an establishment is the opportunity to have a wide range of clients, including representatives of various social strata, from students to businessmen. Of course, despite these obvious advantages, a kebab shop will be successful only after drawing up a detailed and well-thought-out business plan. To do this, an entrepreneur must decide on the form of business, familiarize himself with the rules for its registration, requirements for premises, the subtleties of drawing up a menu, as well as the number and qualifications of employees.

Mobility (if the location is chosen unsuccessfully, it is easy to move).
This type of barbecue is installed outside the city limits, along highways or in places of mass recreation (parks, beaches). The main visitors of such establishments are drivers - truck drivers, travelers, vacationers. In such kebab houses you can relax in nature and personally observe the process of cooking kebabs. Significant disadvantages of a summer kebab house:
The need to have a toilet (you have to buy or rent a bio-toilet, which reduces income);
Seasonality of work.

This format involves the rental or purchase of non-residential premises equipped with a kitchen with special equipment, as well as a place for relaxation and eating. Of course, opening such an establishment requires higher costs. Advantages of this format of a kebab house:
The opportunity to sell grilled meat dishes all year round;
The possibility of significantly diversifying the menu;

In this format, the location of the kebab shop has a significant impact on the potential growth and return on investment of the new business.
Business registration
Before opening a company, it is necessary to register a business. For this purpose, a novice entrepreneur needs to decide on the legal form of activity and choose whether to register a legal entity or an individual entrepreneur. A legal entity is usually registered as a limited liability company. The registration process is more expensive, takes longer and requires considerable skills in accounting. In principle, entrepreneurs register as individual entrepreneurs. This form of registration means that you need to save a lot of time and money (you need to submit an application, passport and its copy). You can register within a week, and in this case the entire procedure will cost a novice entrepreneur 4 times cheaper than registering a legal entity. Another advantage of registering an individual enterprise is easy accounting and reporting. However, there is one important nuance - if you plan to sell alcohol, you must register a UAB - only after registering this form will the entrepreneur be able to obtain a license to sell alcoholic beverages. Beer and kvass can be sold without a license.
