While we are going to focus on the marketing side of starting a Pizza business in NYC with our opinion as we were born here... we do suggest that you follow the NYC process that is detailed here: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/business/food-operators/opening-a-restaurant.page
We can remember going to many local pizza places throughout New York and getting a slice pretty much every day. Nowadays the Pizza game in New York has totally changed and while some like John's Of Bleeker are keeping NYC Pizza Original, most are getting fancier by the day. We truly love almost all of the pizza but we are old school which is why they get the mention.
You have to be crazy to want to get into such a saturated market within the NYC Pizza Industry but if you are going to do it your pizza has to be amazing and that goes without saying. When deciding on opening your new spot you have to decide on your path which is a new start-up or buying an established business that is for sale. Established Pizza Shops in Manhatten are between 500k & 1.5M and that's just for the business. Most Pizza parlors are rented and leased with NYC Real Estate is some of the most expensive property in the world. Still interested in this venture?
Ok Crazy... Still want to open up after learning the average net margin is only 14%? 1M in sales and you only make $140K. Just making Sure!
Now it's time to talk about our part, Pizza Business Web Design in NYC. You are starting out and your #1 tool in promoting your business is your website, your Google My Business Listing and your Social Media game focusing on Instagram first. We are very focused on being found on top of Google for "Pizza Shop Web Design in NYC" and as you will see below or by doing your own search we have achieved that goal.
We are not trying to sell you on some crazy fancy website, we are truly trying to make sure you are educated on this aspect of your new business because this is the key to your online presentation foundation. That foundation begins with your domain"s" as in two, yes 2. You are in NYC and you want to lock down a .NYC domain for your website https://nycpizza.nyc (we own this one) and... a .com that includes your name https://joespizza.com (nobody will remember .nyc) for "top of mind awareness"
Now, Please Listen! You need a website platform that is a CMS (Content Management System) and while everyone is in love with WordPress we favor Joomla but that discussion is for another time and you can This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . Again, regardless of the CMS, DO NOT fall for a free or cheap "do it yourself" web builder.
