Running 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.
