I am surprised at you for asking this question about restaurant failures……….. I am not a restaurant owner, but stop and think about the following :
—employees
—thief
—cooks not showing up or sick on the job
—vendors increasing pricing weekly after you just spent $3000 for new menus….
—insurance
—competition
—the right menu, the right prices, the right taste on everything
Hey buddy, I think you are crazy to think about opening a restaurant in this day and age…….
Waiters can kill your business in 1-2 months.
Never forget, if the help was as smart as you, then they would have their own restaurant, and not working for someone else.
Good Luck
