Opening A Restaurant: It Might Be For You

By Danie Zolezzi


Unless you a part of the lucky few that had your parents supply you a regular income during college, you probably had to work to earn your spending money. Like many of us, you were probably putting in hours at some college town diner or bar. Did you ever consider that your experiences at this restaurant could potentially lead you to a career in the hospitality industry? Owning your own business is the dream for many people; here are four reasons why opening your own restaurant might be something you should consider.

You love entertaining and hosting dinner parties. A lot of owning a restaurant is about entertaining and making sure customers have a pleasant experience. You're the star of the show at all times- and the show must go on. Hospitality at its core is all about customer service.

You are foodie. Being a business guru is great, but you also need to have knowledge of food, flavors and wine in order to succeed. Unless you plan on partnering with someone else who will handle any aspects regarding the cuisine, you need to know good food.

You don't have many friends. One the hardest things about this type of business are the hours required to be successful. Open to close is much longer when you have to consider hours spent on things like cleaning, inventory, training employees, etc. If your social life can handle a busy schedule then you are in good shape.

You always wanted to be your own boss. This is probably the best reason for opening a restaurant. Fulfilling a life long dream of working for you is the best perk of this business. You are working hard to achieve your own goal-- not that of someone else.

If you have a life long dream of opening a business, consider opening a restaurant or bar. Not every successful owner goes into the hospitality industry knowing all the in's and out's of the business. Not all are even good cooks; however, enrolling in a few classes in a culinary school couldn't hurt. As long as you are willing to put in the work, you could be very happy and successful as a restaurant owner. Just some food for thought (pun intended) next time you go out to your favorite restaurant.
