If you love to cook did you consider the idea of putting up a restaurant, if you'll ask me, I would like but the question will be do I have enough resources to do it, i should have money to put up a business such as like this and a lot of preparation needs to be done.

I've thought about it, but then I looked at the paperwork and promptly decided against it. I don't have the patience for that.

Yes. I have often thought about it. I have so much fantastic recipe that I would love to share with my customers. One day, one day I will make it happen with God's help.

This thought occurs to me often too.

It would be so hard to start a restaurant, even if I had amazing cooking skills. I'm an okay cook, nothing really fancy or sometimes I try to improve something and it doesn't come out right.

Another concern would be, what could my restaurant offer that had enough of a market to bring in customers and keep them coming back? People are more adventurous in what they want, but also want value for the food they get. Would a fusion restaurant be too fleeting? Would a more classic diner set up attract enough interest?

Then there are all the regulations to deal with - not only hygiene and quality, but informing customers about what we offer. One of my mom's old co-workers had a son who was allergic to several things, including dairy, eggs, most nuts, and a few other more specific things. Then there are people who don't eat some things due to religious or ethical reasons, so it becomes a question of how should a restaurant try to meet these needs - keep separate kitchens that are allergen free? Advertise what food is offered and mention that somethings are not on the menu? Build a very specific menu that has a niche audience?

Then again, a restaurant that's main offering are variations of grilled cheese is doing well in my county, so... :? :eusa-think:

I thought about it once or twice, but to be honest, I'd rather open a bakery. I don't have the patience to make savory meals, but I love making pies and cakes :P

When I was younger I wanted to have my own baking company. I swore I was going to make a cute little start up in my garage and that it would look like a bakery. Pastel colors, goodies made-to-order. Obviously, I didn't do it. 😑

Other than pretending to own and run a restaurant at a young age, never went any further than that.

My understanding is that restaurant businesses are the hardest to make profitable. I am betting a business plan and a loan is how most would do it.

When I was just out of high school I considered a culinary degree a toured a very nice school. At the end my tour guide laid it out for me. 'You have a family? Plan for kids? Set it aside, get ready for 18 hour work days in a market so competitive that half the start ups don't last six months.' I've known couples trying to keep even small restaurants going that never leave the building but to sleep. It is incredibly tough and if is not an absolute passion that you are willing throw yourself into for the next 20 years it will just burn you out.

I've thought about it a lot of times. In fact it is my dream to have a pastry shop or a restaurant, but I don't think I'll be able to get that dream since our life is really hard.

I love food and cooking, but not in a commercial scale of a restaurant. Thats back breaking work and takes all fun out of cooking.

My brother and I used to talk about opening a restaurant. He would do the main dishes and I would do the baking. Nowadays, having known people from the restaurant industry, I don't think I would want to invest in the time it would take to build the business. Not the mention the stress that comes with it.
