Restaurant Business Advice
I'm planning to open a restaurant/bistro and I've been doing a ton of
reading. I've read anything and everything I can find, from books to internet forums. The theme of everything I read is, "you'll probably fail". Its a HUGE risk, with HUGE commitment and a HUGE chance of failing within the first year. So, is there any encouragement out there? The only encouraging thing i hear is, if you have a ton of money you can make it. well, we def don't have a ton of money. We're relying heavily on investors and loans. Please, hit me with your advice! I've read everything negative already and I'm already aware that I'm going to be broke, working 16 hour days, destroying the friendships I have with the other owners, and i'm still going to fail. Can anyone relate success stories or anything at all positive!?!!? How do people do it? How do you stay positive in an industry where 99% of people fall on their face. |

Well, one thing you should do is be sure to have a good POS system so
that you can keep track of everything. You don't want to spend a fortune on it, either. Go to www.foodman123.com to learn about Foodman POS for restaurants. Thank you Tony Dilworth |
