Hi all,
We all are probably aware how brutally competitive the restaurant industry is. That said, I have some interest in opening up a restaurant concept that is hugely popular in NYC but doesn't exist here in Chicago currently.
It's a relatively simple food selection, which obviously makes it somewhat more manageable.
I'd have to find chefs, ideally that worked at the place I would model the concept on.
I have very limited experience in the industry, however.
My idea would be to find a partner who has this experience - ideally a current restaurant owner.
I have money to invest and time. I would hope that the required investment would be less than around $200k (so 2 partners at $100k a piece).
Any thoughts/stories/comments appreciated.
