open a restaurant

Basing on customer profile – weight, gender, age, daily energy consumption, create the perfect amount and type of food for him/her. Have to charge a premium which is the price to pay for healthy life.

An alternative is to create an IPhone/Smartphone application for that person.

This project has been postponed for the time being, as other projects have taken priority right now.

I want to open a unique restaurant with my boyfriend (future husband). We love to cook and bake. We’re always coming up with such crazy ideas for restaurants that I believe are just brilliant. I want to make this dream come true.

Opening your own restaurant isn’t easy… I should know as I have opened and operated over 15 restaurants and cafes in the past 20 years. I have retired from that now, however what gave me a leg up was using the the best management tools and software including a really good restaurant marketing campaign. Keep your goal alive and learn as much as you can before you get there.

A place that would bring the community together through food

Here in Portland I’ve encountered something I’ve seen on TV about New York or Europe but rarely came across in Los Angeles or Phoenix… food shacks! There are areas downtown just full of them and even some in Pioneer Square. Some stay open late, most don’t. Some have big-sister restaurants like The Whole Bowl, most are probably owner-operators trying to make a buck.

Wouldn’t that be fun?? I would love to have a burrito stand. Breakfast burritos galore in the morning and my interesting concoctions the rest of the day! And, I’d totally make sure we were accessible to the 2am crowd on weekends.

What does it take to get started I wonder? A mobile trailer type kitchen for sure. Probably some licensing and permits to park around town or on a single business’ property. Food. Power. Maybe I’ll head there next week or so at an off time and talk to one of the vendors, maybe find an owner. I’m so curious.

All my life I thought of myself as a foodie. Its my one true goal to open a restaurant that cooks food that I like and hope others enjoy.

I want to have my own restaurant – someplace chic, but comfortable; someplace lively, yet subdued; someplace warm, stylish and soothing.

i want to explore the world of food

I am in the mid-phase of buying a bar/restaurant. We are negotiating over price/repairs, but with everything going on with the looming recession the question that begs to be answered is: is now the time to take this step?

I just discovered this site and all of your posts that I have read seem to come from experience, not just guessing. So, any and all thoughts would be welcome. Thanks!
