Restaurant businesses usually try to accept guests for a moment by the operators after leaving the construction phase. While testing the kitchen and service units, gas controls, final controls of the electrical installations, some businesses accept guests. In fact, this is not an absolutely correct theory, and the first guests of the restaurant are usually sent off with disappointment.
In my international gastronomy consultancy, one of my red lines among my service areas and one of the most important issues is that I do not even give a "spring" to anyone without a small opening...
You are most likely to encounter the small opening word, "small opening", generally in European countries and states of the United States.
In Turkey, you can see this habit in brand restaurants or restaurants opened as a result of professional approaches. But when we take into account the 2022 world restaurant trends, I believe that we will encounter it more often from now on.
So what does Small opening mean in 2022 new restaurant trends?

--- you will encounter sentences consisting of similar words in the face of negativities. This is also normal. In other words, since you are the first people to serve the restaurant, you go to that restaurant knowing that there is a "small opening" or you chose us this way, be prepared for these as well.

The restaurant management has adopted this system in order to be among the Best Restaurants in the City and to have a permanent restaurant in the city, in order to reduce the first impression of them to -0- in negative situations.
-Yes, it may be my fault, but I already do small opening, that is, "small opening". In order to be able to say this more easily in terms of guest satisfaction, the words "small opening" are included in restaurant promotions and people come knowing this. In addition, at the entrance of the restaurant or in a place where guests can see it, provided that it is not too exaggerated, a 1 meter by 30 cm banner is hung to make it appear.
How long does the small opening last?
It may vary between 4 weeks and 8 weeks in line with the decisions of the professional restaurant management. Here, the shortness or length of the time is related to the efforts of the kitchen training and service personnel at the level of mastery. Since part-time personnel generally work during the fast hours of work in Europe and America, the ideal timing may be 6 weeks.
