Default Re: Clarification needed

I am curious if you guys that want to do this have worked a significant amount of time in a bar and/or restaurant?

if I even thought I might want to one day open a bar/rest, I would immediately get a job in a bar, even if I had a day job. I worked in many restaurants as a dishwasher and then as a line cook when I was younger, and many more bars as a musician. just from that experience alone I know I never would want to do something like own a bar/rest.

my wife on the other hand has never worked in one, and peridoically says stuff like "wouldn't it be fun to open a place?". anyways, I think having experience working most different jobs in the kind of place you want to open is a prerequisite for even thinking about it. work as a barback, work as a bartender, and then make an informed decision. note that everyone in this thread that has experience working in a bar/rest wouldn't want to open one [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
