Monday after Thanksgiving, wow! glad it's over. All that food! which brought me to today's subject,The Restaurant  business.Your a great cook,you always wanted to be in the business. What do you do? Where to start?Things you should know. 95% of all start up restaurants FAIL!  why? mainly because of lack of money, poor site selection,wrong menu for the area,and spend to much on the interior and not have enough money left to advertise and market to the public,the MOST important thing to do.Remember," it all starts with the sale."I don't care how good you cook, if no one comes in , you lose.What's important? site selection,size of restaurant, size of menu, cost break down on food costs, insurance, interior furnishings. How fancy do you want to go? What hours do you want to be open? Do you look at a franchise or go it alone. A good franchise will help you succeed better than alone. Which franchise?  Boy, the questions never end. I spent 15 years building and renovating  restaurants, my partner has been in the restaurant operation side of the business for 30 years.There is not much we don't know. need help? send me a note.
