Should you open a restaurant?

  • Open a restaurant, challenging of opening a restaurant

According to the National Restaurant1, there are 1 million restaurants in the United States.

Many independent were started by someone who spent years mastering pasta – using 0O flour, kneading the dough to perfection, rolling it out into sheet seemingly as thin as paper - then turning that into amazing pasta dishes. Some brought recipes with them from their home country. But there are others, indy restaurants that opened in your hometown, perhaps, that are not part of any chain. Their dream is to become your go-to spot for amazing sandwiches or unique breakfasts. And many do just that, becoming the place people plan to go if they are eating out.

Some restaurants are an amazing success. (Think Michael Simon’s Lola Bistro, Daniel Humm’s Eleven Madison Park, and Alexandra Guarnaschelli’s Butter.) Others however, are not, because the people opening them are just not prepared for the avalanche of responsibilities about to come their way. If you wonder why Gordon Ramsey shouts at his Hell’s Kitchen contestants, he does so because he wants them to feel the pressure that comes with opening an eating establishment. It’s certainly not all fun and games. Restaurants are a difficult business, and it takes a dedicated person to take the plunge.

If you intention of opening a restaurant because your neighbor and Great Aunt Martha told you that you should, based on your amazing kitchen skills, could be steering you in the wrong direction, if you don’t do all the requisite research first.

I have seen many people with good directions and a handful of good recipes close their doors within six months.

Why? Because there is so much more to running a successful restaurant than a few great meals.

Say you make amazing pancakes, and think about opening a breakfast joint in a town where everyone eats their most important meal of the day before heading into work. Even if you add amazing soups, salads and sandwiches to create a lunch menu, you won’t succeed without a dinner menu. Ramsey said so himself when he was assisting a failing restaurant on one of his many TV shows. (Yes, we do see Gordon Ramsey A LOT on TV, despite all the requisite bleeps. And that restaurant ultimately decided to shun his advice and chose not to do dinner. It closed soon after Ramsey’s visit.)

But here’s the thing. No matter how passionately you dream about a restaurant, even graduates of the Culinary Institute of America and winners of “Top Chef” lose their restaurants. “Top Chef” winner Kwame Onwuachi closed his D.C. restaurant Shaw Bijou within three months, according to a story in the Washingtonian. 2

In his latest book, “Tales from a Young Black Chef,” the Bravo TV alum said that his restaurant, despite investors, was out of funding before it even opened, and the $185-per-person menu – which required advanced ticket sales – was set because he was using dry-age wagyu beef and uni, two pricy ingredients that make sense if you want to open a high-end restaurant, but can easily force the shaving of other costs, since food costs are one of the primary things that cause a restaurant to shutter its doors.

There’s the little Catch-22 that cause restaurants to go under.

Anyone who opens a restaurant – even those who are doing so on a whim, because
