A steak house. We'd serve prime porterhouse and ribeye steaks with unbelievably perfect sears (pic related). Baked potatoes and salads as sides.

If you had $50 million, why open a restaurant and deal with patrons? I'd go eat at expensive restaurants, not open one myself.

>>7097289
Not OP, but it's just a fucking question, jeez. There's no need to overthink it.

>>7097274
That's not a perfect sear, that's just a very even burn. It's burnt, you shouldn't serve that to paying customers.

jazz = random noise which autists claim makes sense and is somehow art
scones = biscuits or muffins with sugar

jazz and scones are the most absurdly stupid and pretentious things to ever exist. there is zero substance in either

Fucking gross

>>7097740
>buy out every restaurant in New York

HAHAHAHAHAHA

I would open a small place. All old, oiled wood. I'd have it on a road where people walk. It'd be in a place slightly touristy, but not year round. I'd want people to walk in and tell stories. I would ALWAYS have a drink special. My special every day (since I have money), is half off of your first drink, regardless of what it is. And I would carry some of the finest scotch and whiskeys around. Aged, rare, select casks, etc.

I would have a small, but solid menu. You can always get a burger or a club sandwich and wings and of course grilled cheese. Usual american sides (fries, onion rings, fried okra, side salad). Doesn't matter, it's about drinkin. This is a bar men want to go to.

If you're there more than twice, you can request any liquor you like and I WILL order it. Why have people there who aren't drinking EXACTLY what they want? Also, they can make their own cocktail if they like once in a blue moon. It'd be a one in a 2 week or a month thing, but regulars have a card if they want to use it and use their *make my own drink* card.

Too much thought into this and that's only the beginning, but god damnit I'm drunk and I enjoyed typing that out and thinking of it.

I'm drunk,

>>7097780
It sounds great, but I imagine you'd be bleeding out money like a motherfucker.

>>7097800
2 mil to open at the most.

Everything outside of that is just me spending slowly to keep it open. Why not?

Sell it to a dude I like and who would sign a contract to keep things going. A bar should be for people of all ilks to sit down and drink. TVs with sports, pool tables, darts, a ping pong table or 2. Poor, rich, come to my bar and you will be served. Also, if you keep things within reason, you can DJ and pick songs. It'll be a free jukebox. I'll just set up a jukebox tip jar for the servers. Play a song, toss a quarter or a buck in for a few songs. I'll buy a few tablets with shatterproof cases and just pass it between patrons. If you don't wait until the end of the other guy's song, you have to pay a penalty of waiting for your next drink.

Idealistic nonsense, but fuck it'd be nice. My grilled cheese would be legit though.

Peanut butter jelly.

What makes you think you need 50 millons in order to make a restaurant?

With 20 you'd be more than fine.

I'd love to have a place that only does fish, fresh caught from the abundant river next door.

>>7097759

Nope, NYC here

>>7097244
A restaurant/bar with an outdoor area similar to a real German beer garden; i.e. big trees, picnic tables, lights strung about. indoors would be looked down upon unless it was raining or freezing outside.
tons of beer served in big steins or even the famous 'boot'.
there would be no entrees on the menu. it would be tapas/small plate style or charcuterie/cheese plates exclusively.
no wait staff. you order at the bar and it's brought to you when ready.
no children (again, no wait staff)
maybe a bonfire certain nights. perhaps interesting animals roaming the property such as peacocks or tortises

What you really need to do if going that route is make a place that's real cheap and mega popular for a while. Popularity is fleeting and you will loose it if you don't think of it as a business. It's a bar for boys and girls to get drunk and hook up, don't think of it as anything more than that then you can make money.

Hoorah!!!!

That said, if you have a lot of illecit money coming in and you want to launder it, that's one way, but remember that people like me will detect and report it. I'm not in the enforcement bracket, I just detect and report and apparently I'm very good.

I would copy the restaurant I once went to in Greece and open a restaurant with no menu

>>7097244
Because I'm a realistic person, I would open up a set of franchise restaurants. Either Pieology, Burgerfi, or maybe PDQ. With prior scouting and logistics to determine optimal location. Once well established, I'd buy in to some more well established franchises, as a way to hedge my bets against the trendy places going under. All the while investing heavily into long term stocks to make a strong portfolio with guaranteed returns.

Because I don't want the money to end, see? I want it to keep coming in. I want to get briefed once a day by an assistant on daily operations of my stores, then fuck off and enjoy my wealth in a sensible way. I want to donate to charity. I want to have a vineyard. I want to build small sailboats and sail up and down the coast by myself. I want any kids I might have to inherit a fortune. And a single lump of 50 million bucks won't get me those things.

So fuck having some sperglord dream restaurant that'll be closed and dead in two years. It may not be as fun for me in the short term, but when you're back working as a wage slave, I'll just be buying my first house and paying with cash.

>>7097244
I live in Madrid. I'd open a modern british restaurant that also did breakfasts and tea in the afternoons. In the evening's it'd be a chill cocktail and piano bar.

>>7098306

>>7097244
Cafe/specialty grocery. Would get a cheese expert and build a facility to make our own cheese. Same with in house meats. Would buy a local farm for local produce. Again, we would bake our pasteries/bread in house. It would undoubtedly hemmorage money, but who cares. I'd stick away a couple mil for when things go tits up and return to my old life.

>>7097611
>stop liking things I don't like

Go listen to some Nat King Cole and tell me that it's just "random noise [for autists]..."

I like to cook and all but only when I feel like doing it and I'm not pressured for time to get the meal out. I'd honestly hate owning/running a restaurant.

I'd just buy some acreage and build a nice house ~2000-2500 sq ft with an awesome kitchen in it and a large covered patio out back for entertaining and then I'd invite like 10 or so friends over once a month to eat a feast that I prepared and drink some beers.

>>7097274
So boring it hurts
I bet you're culturally intimidated by Starbucks

>>7098883
I would go to his restaurant.

I have always thought the banquet hall theme is highly underused in the U.S., excluding wedding and whatnot. I would probably either build my own great hall, or possibly renovate a cathedral or something.
Food would focus on the whole-roasted wild game and meat dishes, with meals having an older European styling.
Patrons would pay up front, and platters would be stay on the table once served. Dunno if that conforms with US health regulations though, might need to have people sign a waiver up front.
While the main table would be reservable for events, there would also be a side room with ordinary tables and ordering options.

Would open a bar and grill that is dog friendly, and makes special meals just for dogs too. I would have someone else run it and I'd never go there because I hate dogs.

I'd open a bakery/coffee shop with seasonal baked goods, candies, and tea/coffee. Every new season change it would be redecorated (affordably, not fully redecorated) to match the season. It would be nature themed.

I would keep it simple. In Toronto, we have a chain calling Ali Baba. The franchise is doing fantastic. They server halal/mediteranian food. I would open up a location north of my city, dufferin and center area to be exact. I think it would do great

Right now the only places that serve mac n cheese are chicken joints and they're all plain. Or I can get them cheap frozen mac n cheese in the frozen food section, again plain.

I'd make 12 version tops (6 inexpensive, 6 fancy). I'd cater to the cheap with simple versions (some with brocolli, some with spinach, some with bacon some with chicken, some vegetarian etc etc) and the gourmet types with breaded crust, truffles or uses higher end cheese that would cost more.

Mac n cheese balls made to order with any of the 12 versions. A fast to-go line for Neets/busy moms to pick up their food.

Most of the mac n cheese places are way expensive or tries to be too fancy with limited options.

Restaurants a shit. Can't stand them

I'd open a bakery in a well-off English medieval market town. I'd perform some very unethical business practices to make sure the other bakeries shut down. I'd have to hire women to actually do all the customer service, because those towns are full of rich old women living off their dead husband's inheritance, but doesn't mean I can't bake the shit

>>7097289

I'd consider opening a restaurant and hiring the best manager I could to manage it. Where I live, good food is few and far between. I can get some decent barbecue 35 miles away. It's about 100 miles for a good steak. No soul food. No fish restaurants.

In my town, there is a pizza place that I think is spiralling to oblivion, a Mexican restaurant that is okay but far from great, and one fast food hamburger joint with enormous variations in quality.

It's a small town.

If I could afford it, I'd open a restaurant with maybe four items on the menu (one or two steaks and a hamburger for sure) and with three or four daily specials that would only be served when the quality was perfect.

By the way, there's a barbecue place in Austin that will apparently give the barbecue away on those rare occasions when it isn't up to the owner's expectations. And on those rare occasions, it is far better than most barbecue joints.

>>7097244
I'd make a quality Chinese restaurant open late night because that's all I really want from a city.

Also a late-night Latin fast-food place, but it would also serve italian/german style doner kebabs.

B)Steakburger with lettuce, tomato, secret sauce. Options for double, cheese, bacon

D) 2 Corndogs cuz fuckyea. Hand-dipped in personal cornbread batter recipe

C)Chili. Same chili as previously mentioned!

Desserts:
A) Frozen custard in standard flavors vanilla, chocolate, strawberry. Cones or shakes
B) Rotating seasonal item. Fudge in the winter, deep fried twinkie in the summer, etc. Not a dessert, but possibly cow-brain sandwich in the spring. It's so high in fat it should be a dessert

You see young padawan, when you're a member of a community it is absolutely necessary to have some role. Just living in your tower will alienate you from them. If, however, you start a business, you becoem a pillar of said community. Seeing as you'd be rich, all you'd have to do is hang around for a couple of hours here and there and your job would be done and everyone would love and respect you. You could incurr in massive losses and still retain the esteem that comes with your position.

WARNING: BILLION-DOLLAR IDEA, DO NOT STEAL I REPEAT, DO NOT STEAL

The Chilly Bean

it'd be a trendy little place for all the white collar young hipsters to stop by and enjoy our main offerings, which are:

>a core selection of gourmet chili, rotated in accordance to the seasons
>fresh milkshakes, smoothies for the health-conscious
>hot fucking fresh french fries, or chips for our boys across the pond

The Chilly Bean believes in simple flavors and simple ideas done to perfection. When you go to the Chilly Bean you'll sit down to a deep, home-style bowl of fresh made chili with chunks of brisket, BBQ flavor, and pulled pork. You can have Cincinnati chili poured over your hot fries and sprinkled with chopped onions. You can have your Tex-Mex chili with your beans and sweet corn and avocado and sour cream in a warm flat-bottomed dish served with a fold of buttery pita.

And of course, when you order chili, you NEED a Chilly Bean milkshake. We're talking ice cream, vanilla, banana cream with Nilla wafers crumbled up and thrown on top of fresh whipped cream. Oreo milkshakes for the deviants. Red Velvet milkshakes for the wicked.

So you'll sit there, bring a few friends and dig in a bowl of hot and spicy chili while sipping on that cold frosty treat, while munching on crispy greasy french fries.

I doubt that I would want to open a restaurant. They're super difficult to turn a profit on, and the city I live in has more than enough restaurants of all kinds of prices and styles. That would make it difficult to compete.
