DIRECTION AND CATEGORY:

OPEN A RESTAURANT IMAGEMANSTUDIO WILL HELP YOU. First, you need to understand the target audience for whom your place will be designed. The most significant criteria may be both the average check and the focus. For example, affordable restaurants that are intended for the general public (businessmen, students, tourists) can simultaneously be family places. Or for children’s birthday parties. Thematic (meat, fish, beer, cafe-bakery) and even ethnic places (Italian, Armenian, French, etc.). However,  if you prefer a Luxe restaurant, the audience shrinks to certain segments of society, accustomed to luxury and appreciating gourmet cuisine. In general, all cafes and restaurants can be positioned according to one criterion, as well as several at the same time.

TOPIC AND STYLE:

Once determining the target audience, it is necessary to formulate the theme and concept. If your place doesn’t have its own legend, history or message, then they need to be invented, developed and visualized. The concept of a restaurant is usually reflected in everything: in the facade, sign, interior, serving, dishes, etc. The development of the concept and style of the restaurant is also a time-consuming process, which is as well within purview the Studio “IMAGEMAN Interior and Architecture”.

RESTAURANT NAME:

As Captain Vrungel (a character from Soviet cartoon)  said: “As you name the ship, as it  sails.” The hero of the animated film is not  likely to put the main marketing tools (naming and branding) into his thoughts. Although he definitely knew something. Brand strategy is one of the most important parts of launching and developing a business. Name of the restaurant and its branding is what the customer usually remembers and visualizes mentioning your business or thinking about it.

As all the previous stages of starting a business, this one important step must also be entrusted to professionals who are skilled in market analytics and know-how the brand operates in a particular business. Professionally and qualitatively developed branding will become a key marketing tool and a reference point for building further PR and marketing campaigns.
