A Step by Step Guide to Start a Restaurant Business in Malaysia
Starting a restaurant looks very lucrative simply because people generally love to eat and we eat out lot..!! Asians are very lucky because we can afford to have breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner and supper without having to know how to cook and without poking huge holes in our wallets.
Eating out is part of our culture. We eat out all the time.
This explains the numerous restaurants, cafes, warungs, bistros, or kopitiams in almost every corner of Asian countries. It seems like everyone knows and wants to open a restaurant.
You don’t need to be a chef to open a restaurant. In fact, most restaurant owners can’t even cook.! Many are politicians, singers, actors, models, housewives, retirees, businessmen who love food or even foreigners who want to introduce food from their homelands.
While anybody can open a restaurant, it takes a trully hardworking, dedicated and discipline entrepreneur to open and operate a successful restaurant.
I believe opening a restaurant should be easy so we have enough energy to concentrate on more important things, like running, managing and making it into a successful one…!
My first involvement in opening a restaurant gave me a nerve-wrecking experience. I raced with time to finish the renovation, to purchase the required equipment, to install the Point of Sales system, to get reliable suppliers and to hire staffs.
But the one that really gave me the test of patience was to obtain the necessary licenses.
I found out that having a registered company with a valid business license was not enough. Only after the restaurant was opened, I found out that I couldn’t put up a signboard because I needed a signboard license.
I also found out that I was not allowed to play any music in the restaurant unless I have licenses from Recording Artists Association. Then I also found out that I needed to apply for Liquor License. And the list went on and on…
I wish someone had told me about this earlier so I wouldn’t have wasted a lot of time going back and forth to DBKL (Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur) to obtain those licenses.
Then I found out that I had to increase the Paid Up Capital of the company if I want to hire foreign workers. Had I known that there is a minimum Paid Up Capital for hiring a foreigner, I would have registered the company with higher Paid Up Capital in the first place, thus saving me time and money to do ammendments on the Company Article of Association.
After all the legal issues were settled, I found out that I had wasted money on buying some of the equipment and furniture because I could actually get those things for free.
After that first experience, opening the second, third and forth restaurant was a breeze. I knew exactly what needs to be done first, second, third, forth, and so on.
I wrote this book to pass my knowledge to anyone who plans to open a restaurant in Malaysia so you will not have to experience what I had experienced before. I hope after reading this book you will be able to open his/her restaurant easily, fast and economically.

Do you know how difficult it is to get reliable and trustworthy suppliers?
It took me more than 1 (one) year to compile the list of 60 good suppliers carrying over 300+ products
Why do you need to get everything ready before opening your restaurant door for the first time?
I always believe that first impression is very important. Specially in restaurant business.
Open your restaurant only when you are ready, not half-ready, not almost ready. Your kitchen and floor operation should be ready to serve a full house on the first day of opening regardless whether or not you will actually have a full house.
When a new restaurant opens, curious foodies will come and try. You have to nail them on that first try.
Once a customer leave your restaurant dissatisfied, he/she will never return and the bad advertising will spread like a cholera. Your Opening Day could be the first door leading to your Closing Down day.
How many times you experienced this : You brought your family into a packed newly opened restaurant. A friendly owner greeted, seated and gave two sets of menu to be shared with your wife and your children because they didn’t print enough menus. Then the waiter came to take your orders.
After half an hour, your kids got their food but not you and your wife. Your kids ate while you started getting irritated. Your food only arrived after your kids finished their food. And your wife’s food arrived just before you finished the main course. By then your wife had lost her appetite and chose to pack the food instead.
So you asked for the bill. The bill came 10 minutes later because the Cash Register was jammed. Since it’s dinner time, the owner couldn’t call the supplier whose business opened only 9am – 5pm. The owner apologized saying it was his first day, the restaurant just opened and he didn’t anticipate such a good response.
For the whole night, all the owner did was apologizing. The owner thought that first night was a “success” because of the full house with a few glitches in customer service. He didn’t realize that he had just spread a bad advertising to a “full house”.

I have been involved in opening, operating and managing few restaurants in Kuala Lumpur for the past 6 years. Although my technical background is Accounting and Management (I have a Bachelor degree in Accountancy from San Diego States University – USA and an MBA from University of San Diego – USA), my passion for food drove me to be in the F&B industry. I love food and everything associated with it.
I love the feeling of opening the restaurant door first thing in the morning, before the chefs, the waiters and the cleaners come. It gives me a peaceful feeling of looking everything “undone” and a pure excitement when seeing the place transforms into a busy restaurant where receptionist greets customers, waiters take orders, chefs shout in the kitchen, food runners dash from the swing kitchen doors and cash register drawers open and close swallowing the cash.
