Help A Potential Restaurant Owner That Has Never Cooked A Meal Ever :-)

Hello. I am planning on opening a restaurant with some family members. I am trying to do some research on how I would go about this. I know nothing about the restaurant business nor have I ever cooked besides the occasional Top Ramen. It's hard to find good and specific information on this. A lot of what I saw was talking about simply buying the restaurant and hiring cooks, and not being too involved. Essentially most people are looking for a source of passive income. This is not what I want to do. I would like to manage everything related to owning a restaurant, except the cooking, cleaning, serving and the recipes. I would love to work from home, but of course don't mind if I have to get out and network with the cooks I hire. What is the best approach for this type of business, where we buy the restaurant, handle operations, and hire cooks? The plan is to succeed with one restaurant and buy a second one. Rinse and repeat. Easy money. I would like to do it full time, and as long as I can get paid $2500+ with the one restaurant, it would be perfect. Would appreciate any and all advise. Also, if someone with experience owning a restaurant wouldn't mind sparing a few minutes for a conversation, it would be much appreciated, thank you

Wow, Daniel B. !

My email is in my profile. My dad (Italian/Sicilian) did it all my life; even had food carts in retirement. I spent 34 years in the industry.

George B. also has similar roots, if I can raise him up.

You can also friend me on Facebook.

ps: Andrey.. didn't you have similar roots ?!?!?

I was thinking the same thing

Shoot me an email lordbyron1970@yahoo.com

If only life was so easy.

My dad thrived in the industry.

If restaurant owners are trying to buy a TRUCK, now .. that's a bit rogue.

People from EU countries CAN cook. (Maybe they just need to learn how to 'unleash' the 'familia.')

Peace;

ps: If this was a TROLLING post, Mr. Baba ..... I fell for it. I'm from a family of cooks. Yet, we do trucks, too.

Best to ya.

Daniel B, that is too funny. But your illustration is very clever nonetheless. It took me a few minutes to figure out what you did and then I had a good laugh.

I’m thinking G Town’s suggestion to invest in oil futures might be worth looking into
