I know I have heard all the bad things about starting a retaraunt but
my wife and I still have a dream of owning our own. What do I need to
do first? What kind of money do I need to start and any suggestions in
getting that money. We do not have experience in running a restaruant
and most banks probably wouldnt lend us the money with no experience.
Any suggestions on investors? We live in Riverside county in
California. The area is growing quickly however there are no real
places to eat here yet. Any serious help is apprectiated.

Thank You

Are there any restaurant schools or hospitality management departments
in local colleges, if so, you might check there to see if they have any
workshops on this subject. Talk to other restaurant owners in your area
and see if you can get a job working in a restaurant PT before you
plunge in and invest in one of your own. Getting involved with your
local Chamber of Commerce also might be beneficial.

Good luck!

Why would anyone want to work 28 hours a day?

You both need to get a job in a restaurant. If that suits your
lifestyle...then look for an existing property and buy it.

Starting a restaurant requires more luck than winning a lottery and
twice the amount of cash you ever be able to get your hands on.

Good luck and Bon Appetit!

Can I suggest something that could help? A little off the beaten path
but all roads lead to Rome! It's a short clip...belongs to my friend.
