Everyone Wants to Own a Restaurant

Some things are never outgrown.  One of these things is wanting to own a restaurant.  A busy place is exciting; you get to greet customers, play the gracious host, be “the man” and buy drinks or desserts for your customers, the hangout is your place… and you’ll make a fortune!

Well, maybe not such a fortune.  Restaurants, like any business, are complicated, need constant attention, have staff that need to be managed, require tight inventory controls, need consistent cash flow and must have unswervingly excellent customer service and food quality.  A restaurant’s success is susceptible to bad weather, ruined or spoiled food, a bad day for the chef, a shortage of wait staff on a given shift or a bad health department examination.  Some also need to please critics and can lose customers to the “newest” new place in the neighborhood.

Restaurants are not crème puffs to manage.  (Neither is any business.)  Running a business is work and needs full attention – and sometimes luck – to be successful.
