Answer 1

i agree.  

Answer 2

Good food and good service are important, but that's FAR from a complete picture of what you'd need.  Restaurant success depends on so many variables.  That's why food & beverage establishments have high failure rates.

Some other things you'll need (and this is still an oversimplification):

--> Location, location, location (cliché, but true)

--> A simplified menu, allowing for a variety of dishes from few ingredients.  (This will help you manage costs and keep your prices down.)

-->  Consumer friendly interior and menu design.  (The natural flow of traffic within the premises, and the ability to quickly scan a menu need to be accommodated, or the experience will create confusion and drive customers away.  This is *not* the same as good or bad service.)

-->  Differentiation.  (If your restaurant is just the same as everyone's else's, it's only a matter of time before your customer base erodes.  You must be different, and reaffirm that difference with your consumers, or you'll fall out of top-of-mind recall, and then you'll really be on thin ice.)

Again, a "comprehensive" list of what restaurant needs to survive would have to be much longer, but these are some points to consider at least.
