Have you talked to a bank about getting additional funding? Most restaurants fail..

>And the menu will resolve around desserts and comfort food, along with breakfast dishes and pasta.
>A simpleton comfy kind of place.
Why not have a focus? Seems like you are falling into a trap in making the typisch /ck/ fixation on working class authenticity the theme of your restaurant.

Don't want to get myself in debt, if i failed then i'll just jump back to my chef career.

It's just a proto-type idea, mostly resolved around the majority's favorite kind of food.

Mate have you even checked how much a property for a restaurant costs?

>>8253028
Your on hand cash is barely enough to cover all the start up costs. You need much more cash to cover day to day expenses. You need enough cash to last at least 18 months.

>>8253028
you have to spend a lot of money to start a restaurant and you need a lot of attention and support to be successful. I would expect to go into debt for the first 5 years or so

You have to be in debt you big dummy

it's enough to buy a franchise like Subway, Dunkin Donuts or similar, its not enough to start from scratch. if you have a solid plan, its enough to take to a bank for a loan, they'll give you around 300k without too much trouble as long as you're not an idiot

It's enough to get a Chick-Fil-A franchise.

Start with one meal. If you pick the right location, you might do well with some catering of business-area lunches. Lots of sandwiches, soups of the day, fresh bread, and wrapped desserts to go. Edge of gourmet, have a vegan option, portion control option, and the health set with money will be loyal. Then add hours for breakfast, or move your location to one that better accommodates the better hours/traffic/tables.

Also publish nutritional info. This is something a lot of small places don't do, and while it seems silly, there's a _lot_ of people doing the calorie counting thing right now and will prefer places they can easily punch into myfitnesspal/etc.

I think it would help if you gave us the following info:
- location
- years of professional experience/education
- background
