Opening a restaurant is the classic armchair entrepreneurial fantasy. It is a great business for someone who loves food and enjoys cooking, but should not be undertaken by the feint hearted. Being a restaurant owner is like having another child in many ways. It is certainly not as easy as it may seem to be. Before you sign on the dotted line there are a number of important things you should consider.

Location is key to creating the volume needed to run a successful restaurant. You would be well advised not to get in over your head with a lease that will bury your chances for success from the get-go. On the other hand, do not choose an out of the way location simply because the rent is more affordable. Remember the old adage about getting what you pay for. Selecting a market and location for your restaurant will depend to a large extent on the type of restaurant and the menu you will be offering.

Unless you are taking over an existing location, the build out costs for leasehold improvements, equipment, seating, flooring, lighting and related capital outlays can easily exceed $150,000. These are what some in the business call sunk costs, meaning they are expenditures that take years to recover assuming your business is able to survive that long. Either way these are upfront costs you will incur, and if you are fortunate enough you will be able to amortize these expenses over a period of many profitable years in the future.

A typical restaurant owner is tied to his business for excruciating long hours, sometimes seven days a week, every week, month in, month out. Not a pretty picture, even if you are making money. According to an old adage, the two happiest days in a restaurant owners life is the day he bought the restaurant and the day he sold it.

Finding and keeping restaurant workers is an ongoing struggle. People who work for low restaurant wages may have little education, some may have criminal records, some have drug and alcohol problems, others may experience home and family life disruptions, all of which means you have to be constantly monitoring their actions. If you do not remain vigilant, some employees will steal from you. Others will come in late or not show up at all for their regular work shifts.

Managing a restaurant staff is a difficult task. It can be one headache after another. Employers find that many restaurant employees are unreliable and uncooperative. The restaurant business is plagued with staff turnovers. To add insult to injury your good employees are often wooed away by your competitors.

There are a number of other factors to take into consideration which will be covered in detail in subsequent articles. The list includes city ordinances and Health Department rules and regulations; advertising and marketing; menu selections; working capital reserves; inventory control; waste; bookkeeping; incorporation; income taxes, payroll and more. Running a successful restaurant is not a one-man job. You need a team of professional dedicated people and even then it never runs smoothly.

Opening a restaurant is a daunting task, but no matter what you put into it, in terms of time or money, it will not be successful if no one knows you exist. If you are taking over a location that was a restaurant at some point in the past, make sure you do not make the same mistakes that the previous owner did. Unless it was a management problem or some other obscure issue, restaurants usually fail because of their location or lack of working capital. Or as one restaurant critic jokingly remarked, The restaurant failed because the owner ran out of working capital due to a bad location.
