Hi guys and girls, it's me, Janet!
starting a restaurant can be a very very bad experience if you handle it bad,
and you'll be surprised, it's not the matter about how good u are in cooking, it's about how good u can run a restaurant business.
my family and I started one before, my dad was a top class chef, not that top but hey, his food taste great!
anyway, about two years ago, he started his own restaurant and we
(the family) all helped out. it started out well, he was the head chef and we had a few staffs helping him out, business was good until after about 5 months, we're practically exhausted from it.
we were making money, but it was costing us too much time and effort just to make that little bit of money, and because none of us were from business management background, there were too many problems in the restaurant that we didn't know how to handle.
for example, if my father shares his recipe, he's afraid that the staffs would copy it and open a new rival restaurant. but if he doesn't, then he's almost 24/7 in the kitchen
there were many other issues here and there but basically, the most problematic one is still that it's taking too much effort and time, and you basically have to put all your time in it to maintain the business
so, as expected, we closed shop and gave up :(
so, kimmiz, knowing how to cook good food, that's good, but hta'ts not the only thing you need to know when you want to open a restaurant.
if you do decide to open it, all the best to you :)
