What Should You Take into Consideration When Picking a Creative Restaurant Name?

If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed  by the idea of choosing a restaurant name that is catchy or creative in some way, take a moment to strategize before getting started. Write down – or pull up your restaurant’s mission, vision, or values. This should always guide your decisions when it comes to names, slogans, or logos.Think about the personality and vibe of your restaurant, the type of cuisine that you’ll be serving, or any particular goals that you may have (such as an authentic experience). You should also consider factors such as the ingredients that you use the most, your location, and any adjectives that you may use to describe your restaurant.

Before you settle on a name, make sure that it isn’t already taken. In addition to potential copyright or trademark issues, you want to avoid confusing customers. Do a few internet searches to find out if another business is using the name that you are considering.

If you’re still stuck, try using a restaurant name generator. While some of the options may be silly or completely unusable, they might get your creative juices flowing. It might also give you a jumping off point for coming up with a name of your own.

Remember that the best restaurant names often have a story behind them. If you can incorporate something cool or interesting about you, the business, or even the building where you are located, so much the better. This backstory can be a great marketing tool.

Finally, be mindful of how your restaurant name will come across in print, advertising, and even when customers say it. If you choose something that is hard to pronounce or that people don’t understand, it may not serve your ultimate goal of getting people talking about (and visiting!) your establishment.
