What all do you know about opening a business? I'm a serious

Wrong place mate, we're just armchair businessmen.
Real makers wouldn't be wasting time on a anime imageboard full of depressed virgins who are on the verge of suicide.

Apparently, restaurants are extremely risky due to the location factor.

I'd advise you to set up a catering or contract chef, or hired cook service instead. That way you won't depend on street traffic. You would also require less capital to get started - maybe a van and a set of cooking implements, etc.

Just know the restaurants are the worst market to get into, but good luck OP

What city are you in? Delivery only restaurants for Uber etc are starting to take off. All you really need is access to a commercial kitchen in a decent neighborhood.

The time for dropshipping restaurants is NOW

I'm sorry /biz/ is actually just another dumb board.

to start up a business you need capital.
to get capital (if you don't already) - you need investors.

investors want to make their money back. so you need profit margins

profit is from good customer traffic. so you need people who'll buy your services.

all this should be in your business plan.

as for the books, look for restaurant specific books, don't bother with the general /biz/ knowledge.

Interesting can you get a loan? google

Any authors you would recommend? Everyone will have their own ideas about what makes a successful business but not everyone really knows what they're talking about.

I have a couple potential investors including very wealthy family members. I know that I can secure several tens of thousands of dollars in safe investments, but I'm interested in how to find new investors and how to pitch an idea to them as well.

Really any information anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
