The very first question raising in my mind is that I am able to compete with other pizza restas as there are some may restas here in Hyderabad?? I have lived in London for 4 years and worked in pizza express for 1 year so I have some basic idea about this biz. Please kindly suggest me what exactly I have to do now and whom I need to consult? what are the licenses I should take or permissions etc etc. Would be very great full to you if you can also provide me the details that I can get about equipments and all the ingredients at reasonable prices.
