How to open a dumpling shop? Technology, equipment

Dumpling business in our country is considered very cost-effective. Pay off the shop for the production of such products in just a year. After all, pelmeni and vareniki - the goods are actually very popular and in the market more than in demand. However, such a business will be profitable, of course, only if it is properly organized.

How to open a shop: the main stages

The production of pelmeni as a business usually begins with the choice of a suitable room. It must meet certain requirements and be divided into several zones. In one of the halls it will be necessary to install the actual equipment for pelmeni production. Another should be allocated to the warehouse of ingredients and finished products. It is also desirable that in a rented or purchased room there is a place for dressing up workers and accounting (or a technologist's office).

Then you can proceed with the selection of equipment. Equipped with a shop for the production of pelmeni is usually standard. Nuances in the selection of equipment depend mainly only on the features of production: manual molding or automatic. In the latter case, it is best to purchase a ready-made complex line at once.

After the equipment is purchased and installed, you can proceed to:

• Business registration,

• Hiring of staff ,

• Formulation development,

• Conducting an advertising campaign.

Also it will be necessary to invite to the workshop for the production of pelmeni of SES workers and obtain permission for this type of activity. Of course, we should pay attention to the question of where the raw materials will be supplied from, and also to find the sales markets.

Where to get meat and other products

Raw materials for the preparation of dumplings and vareniki are usually purchased:

• From Russian farmers;

• From large suppliers of imported products.

In the first case, meat, potatoes, cottage cheese, etc., are usually cheaper. However, Russian farmers for the most part do not have the ability to deliver products. And even more so in remote areas. Therefore, it is necessary to find such suppliers in the immediate vicinity of the locality where the workshop is supposed to be opened. And this, unfortunately, is not always possible.

Imported raw materials will cost more than domestic. But the list of services of its suppliers includes, among other things, delivery to the destination. Of course, for a fee. In addition, in order to avoid any problems later, such companies should check the availability of quality certificates for the supplied products.

What can be the markets

Of course, an entrepreneur who decided to open a pelmeni workshop can organize his own dining room or even a trading point. However, this will require additional costs. Therefore, beginning businessmen usually sell finished products through small shops or large retail chains. Thus, it is possible to sell both "machine" and manual modeling dumplings, the production of which is often even more profitable (they are more delicious).

The second implementation, of course, is considered much more preferable. Through a large network you can sell much more pelmeni and vareniki. However, well-known trading companies often take bonuses of 20-25% for their sales services. Therefore, before entering into a contract with a large network, the entrepreneur will have to compare the possible losses and profits. Sometimes it happens that the benefit from increasing sales does not cover the costs of paying bonuses.

Choice of equipment

Which room is suitable for the discovery of such a case as the production of ravioli, vareniki, etc., we have found out. It should be organized at least two offices - actually under the production itself and under the warehouse. In the event that dumplings will be molded by hand, you need to purchase:

• Flour sifter,

• Kneaders,

• Automatic meat grinder,

• Dough sheeter and mixer (optional),

• Refrigerators,

• Tables, pallets, etc.

Integrated conveyors

The pelmeni production line includes all the equipment listed above, plus an apparatus for sculpting ravioli and vareniki, a conveyor and a packing machine. The cost of such conveyors can depend on the equipment, performance and brand. In general, it fluctuates within 10-15 thousand dollars. Separately, the apparatus for modeling dumplings can be bought for 2,000 y. E.

Equip the shop for the production of pelmeni, of course, best of all equipment produced by European manufacturers. However, on much cheaper Chinese lines, it is possible to produce very high-quality ravioli and vareniki. Sometimes start-ups also buy used equipment. The cost of such lines, of course, is much lower (depending on the performance of 15 to 700 thousand rubles).

Dough mixers

If an entrepreneur decided not to buy a ready line, but to assemble it independently from separate equipment, this machine is the first thing that he needs to buy. Modern kneaders can have different performance, design and cost. Of course, for the production of dumplings, you should buy a fairly powerful model, designed for mixing steep dough. Very popular in the modern domestic market are, for example, devices of this type of brands SIGMA, MT-12 "Torgmash" and "Prima". The cost of such equipment can fluctuate in the range of 50-200 thousand rubles. Thus, the MT-12 kneader, designed to produce 50 kg of dough per hour, costs about 60 thousand rubles. Such equipment can become just an ideal option for those who decided to open a mini-production of ravioli. For larger businesses, you need to purchase more powerful equipment. For example, kneaded "Prima-40" for 130-400 thousand rubles.

Automatic meat grinders

The cost of this type of equipment also depends on the performance and brand. The price for Chinese meat grinders, twisting about 160 kg of minced meat per hour, fluctuates, for example, around 15-20 thousand rubles. Of course, only equipment of this type equipped with an automatic safety device should be purchased.

Apparatus for the production of dumplings

Equipment of this type can also vary in performance and cost. The principle of operation of such machines is quite simple. The dough is fed to a special hopper, which then starts to move towards the outlet in the form of a continuous "sausage". Under the action of a special pump, this tube is filled with minced meat. Then, on the "sausage" rolled molding drum with figured notches.

Apparatus for the production of pelmeni with a capacity of 60 pieces per minute is about 50 thousand rubles. There are also more expensive equipment of this type, producing 50-158 kg / h. In general, the price of pelmeni machines fluctuates around 50-150 thousand rubles.

Refrigerators for pelmeni

To freeze finished products, you can use any kind of equipment. Very good for this purpose are suitable cold rooms, chests, cabinets. Most often in the shops for the production of ravioli and vareniki, the first option is used. Depending on the volume, industrial freezers can cost between 40 and 80 thousand rubles.

Business Registration

So, the machine for the production of pelmeni, dough mixer, refrigerator and other equipment are purchased. Now we need to proceed with the actual design of the enterprise. You can make pelmeni by registering either as an IP or as an LLC. The first option has the advantage that the owner of the shop does not have to carry out virtually no documentation. Individual entrepreneurs pay taxes according to a simplified scheme. However, LLC - in a certain plan, the option is still much more preferable. Such companies are considered more solid, and consequently, their owners have the opportunity to enter into serious and very profitable contracts for the sale of products.

Register the production of pelmeni as a business officially and independently. However, in this case, you have to spend a lot of time and nerves. Most beginning entrepreneurs prefer to act a little differently. They simply delegate this work to specialists. Today, there are many companies involved in the registration of new firms. They, by the way, often render and outsourcing services. The businessman who decides to take advantage of them will not have to take on the accountant's staff.

What kind of staff will have to hire

If the dumplings are supposed to be sculpted by hand, then for the organization of a small workshop it will be necessary to invite at least two cooks and one loader. Also it is necessary to hire a technologist. Best if it's a person with experience. To monitor the quality of products is the responsibility of this specialist. Occupy his niche in the market for a beginner entrepreneur in our time will succeed only if the dumplings and vareniki will be quite tasty. After all, there is no shortage of such products on the shelves, as you know.

For a larger workshop, you will also need to hire a marketer and an accountant. The first is to search for markets and purchase of raw materials. The accountant is responsible for keeping records and taxes. Well, of course, the entrepreneur must always hire a technician. After all, in the shop for the production of pelmeni, as well as other food products, should always be clean.

Formulation development

The technology of pelmeni production in the scale of a small workshop looks like this:

• The raw material is prepared. Defrosts and rinses meat, sifts flour, etc.

• Eggs and whey for dough are mixed.

• In the mass is added salt (sometimes other ingredients that improve the taste).

• Minced meat is prepared and dough is mixed together.

• Dumpling is made.

• Finished products are frozen in the chambers.

• Dumplings are packed in polyethylene.

About the same way, and vareniki are made. The recipe for the production of this specialty shop can be different. So, dumplings are made from mixed stuffing, beef, pork, chicken, lamb. The main thing is not to add soy. The buyer quickly falsifies the forgery - to buy pelmeni under the brand of the company simply stop.

With regard to vareniki, the most popular traditionally, of course, is the product of this type with potatoes (cooked or raw with the addition of fat) and cottage cheese. Dumplings with mushroom fillings are also quite popular. Very often the workshop for the production of pelmeni produces khinkali, manti and semi-finished meatballs.

How to conduct an advertising campaign

You can draw the consumer's attention to their products in different ways. It can be, for example, advertising audio or video clips, ads in newspapers and magazines, beautiful booklets. Many entrepreneurs also order advertising on packages. This product is used by a huge number of housewives, and therefore, your brand will definitely be seen.

However, no matter how beautiful and expensive the advertisement is, you can win a good reputation among buyers, of course, only if you sell quality and delicious pelmeni at a reasonable price. Usually, the consumer immediately notices such products and recommends it to friends and relatives. So take your business seriously, and great profits are guaranteed to you.
