Opening a Cafe or Restaurant

[CityOfJoy]

I guess I'm the only one reading this thinking, WTF? If you're asking these kinds of questions (in this place of all places), you have no clue about business and I'd suggest you part with your money some other way. No bank would lend you money.

As a matter of fact, its quite a good thread and in perfect place. A lot of men on these boards are hobbyists and most of them have spare money for the entertainment and ofcourse time too. They must be doing something right... why not ask? As smart as you might be, you sound too arrogany and obnoxious. just my 2 cents.

I understand fully where you are coming from it's been my ambition also.
However why not consider buying a piece of land or if you don't own a house now buy one in a new development live in it for 8 months and sell for about $ 60k profit

Not a bad idea... a friend of mine has his condo on the market right now at almost double what he paid for it.

10K - What about a hot dog stand

Restaurant business is tough - but like with anything with time and 100%effort and you might succeed. I have worked in the finance end of the fast food business for many years and it is so sad to watch people invest their life savings into a business and watch the business fail, due partly to the fact that the franchisor dictates their business direction & you many times have no choice but to comply.

How about a hot dog stand? I heard the hot dog guy in front of the Eaton's centre does amazing business (location, location, location) and has bought himself some prime Harbour Front condo property. Not bad for selling hot dogs. I'm sure he's close to being a millionaire.
