Being experienced is no guarantee either. I had a neighbor who was operating multiple successful restaurants at the Mall of America when he decided to quit and open his own place closer to home. He poured his heart and soul into that project, completely remodeling the space into something 100% better than what had been there before. I think it was the debt that did him in - the restaurant closed in 9 months, and he lost his house too.
- marak830 9y agoRunning a successful restaurant is -hard-. There are so many things going in, such a complex system with variables that change - sometimes within days - that sometimes I'm unsure how anyone actually runs a successful restaurant. Otherdays, when I go visit a few friends places and see how things are organised, it's amazing how smoothly things operate. But those same people, I know from being there with them, are constantly under stress, and have broken down to me after a few drinks after hours.
