My dad wants to open a restaurant...whats step one?

Question

My dad wants to open a ''El Pollo Loco'' joint in our city.

Yum:)

Step one?

Thanx

Answer 1

pick a possible location, then financing. You need a business plan before you ask for the $ also.

Answer 2

Does he have the money to pay the start-up costs and support his family for six months without taking anything out of the business?

Is he willing to work at least 70 hours a week for several years?

If he fails either question, it is probably a bad idea.  Self-employment is a really tough road and only a very determined person can succeed.

Contact El Pollo Loco about the franchise, Scout out the location,
