What type of restaurant would you want to own?

Question

It's just in the planning stages- but I have a friend who wants me to prepare him a business plan for my best restaurant idea. This is fine with me, as I am a Chef, and this is what I do; however, I want to explore all ideas and options (i.e. locations, type of food, clientele, etc.) Any of your insight, restaurant dreams, favorite foods are much appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

NONE

Answer 2

My dream restaurant, which would probably never fly, is a small breakfast and lunch place serving non-industrial food: cage-free eggs, hormone-free meats, grass-fed beef, vegetarian selections, entree salads, local produce, free trade coffee, wholegrain baked goods...

I like the idea of doing breakfast and lunch because I could have my evenings free. Unfortunately, there's more money to be made at dinner, which is why in real life I run a lunch and dinner place instead  :-)

Answer 3

well ?? I will own river brooks in milwukee, because it is mostly peaceful there and you can have nice delisous foods that you want there.

Answer 4

A small Creperie where there are all different kinds of crepes, savory, sweet, hearty, breakfast. All kinds. Like.... mmmm, spinach-cream crepes with smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce. Crepes are delicious and you could cater as a crepe stand, or sit-down restaurant.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Do what you do best and make it affordable and tasty.

Answer 7

I would like to own a really gourmet, four star, expensive restaurant. The tables would be in little houses that were actually rafts floating on a silvery pool filled with golden seaweed and dolphins and silvery fish that are beautiful. Then when the food comes it is served on a dish that looks like a silver leaf and is really super duper extra special yummy and all the good food critiques love it. That is my dream.

- My friend, not me.

Answer 8

My boyfriend and I talk about this all the time. We would LOVE to see a restaurant open that actually serves healthy food. Low fat, nothing processed or fried. I know it can be done, it's just a matter of cost and motivation. With childhood obesity getting out of control and America being the heaviest country, I think we need more family restaurants that focus on eating healthy without compromising quality. Why is that asking so much???

Answer 9

Personally, I'd have a menu like a favorite restaurant in Indy: Loon Lake Lodge. They feature unusual cuisine. Bison meatloaf, REAL snake bites (snake meat in a flaky coating), fresh river trout and salmon. They are all prepared in a variety of styles so there's always something for everyone. Of course, the decor is a hunting/fishing lodge. They prices aren't cheap but with the food selection, would you expect it to be?

Answer 10
