If you own your own restaurant

I think I would open up a soup shop that would be open 24 hours. I notice that except for a couple of fastfood chains, there isn't really much choice as far as restaurants past midnight. I think it would be good for people that go into bars drinking. It would be a way to sober them up before they caught with a DUI. And I think it would be a great winters too.

Wow, this topic is very interesting. Restaurant is a very good business if we only know how to handle it because people are really fond of eating. If God will bless me to open my own restaurant I want it to be a combination of my favorite food from dessert, drinks, menu,etc. I like the idea of rice toppings with a reasonable price. My target would be both Asian and Western People. A place must be suitable even to an ordinary person and the price as well. And I will look for a name that people will never forget it and make sure that my menu is one of a kind that people first think about when talking about eating. :)

Hi! I had dreamed of starting up a cake shop which sells of course, cakes, there would be coffee, other warm drinks and then cold drinks. There would also be other baked goodies aside from cakes. The target clients would be students as I would like the theme of my shop to be a maid shop like those in Japan. I envy the owner of the first maid shop here in our country. I wish I can have the money to start one, too. ^^ I'm not very good at baking, in fact I don't bake but I'm fond of cakes so this is one of the dreams I have.

I have never planned to open a restaurant, but this discussion is interesting. I like two sort of restaurants : those where I can eat new dishes that I can't make at home -- I like to be surprised -- and those where I can eat dishes from my native area -- exactly the opposite --. I think I would opened a restaurant offering a mix of both : some traditional dishes, some new dishes using wild fruits/vegetables -- It is a fashion among great chefs here actually --, and some game meat dishes for the transition. With a menu like this it would be a middle-class restaurant. I don't like to see disguised waiters/waitresses, so a classic uniform would be perfect, but for the interior decoration, I would try to find a good fresco painter, and give him the future menu and carte blanche for his work.

If I had a restaurant, I'd probably have it be part fast food part casual dining. It'd be a combination of a burger place, pizza and sandwich. The difference is it'd be a healthy/green alternative of the typical fast food places. All of the typically fried foods like chicken nuggets and french fries would be baked. Burgers would be grilled, or if they were fried, I'd use olive oil. I'd also have vegetarian and vegan food, but still have meat for people who want it. There'd be vegetarian chicken nuggets, burgers, etc. Most toppings for pizzas, would consist of vegetables, not pepperoni or sausage. I'd try to make all the foods low in calories, fat, cholesterol, and sodium with zero trans fats. I don't know exactly what the uniform would look like; maybe the staff would wear green and white -- button-up shirts for sure.

hi capt, if I would have given a chance to have my own restaurant I'd probably pass it on others that is more deserving to have it. I am a no how to cook person, I love to eat but barely cook, so I don't know how to manage a restaurant especially inside the kitchen.

In the city where I grew up there is a place called "The tacky cafe". It is full of the ugliest furniture and decorations that you can imagine. The chairs, the tables and the lamps are all different and the colours don't match. It is very different from other places that I have visited and there is always something to look at like furniture and decorations that were popular 40 years ago. I like the idea, but it has already been used, so I would have to choose something slightly different to make my place unique. I would make tables and chairs from recycled and unusual materials. I would like my restaurant to be very colourful, and I would decorate the walls with colourful drawings. The food would be international. I wouldn't focus on one country, I would make sure that it was possible to buy food from many different parts of the world.

hello Capt, I never dreamed to open a restaurant since it needs a lot of people. I mean, too laborious for me. But,if given a chance to open one, i want a kiddie style or, my target will be kids. It will appear to be like a disneyland whoooo....with cartoon characters of course as crew. have a good day

Good day CaptAlbertWhisker, With regard to your main topic discussion, if I do own a restaurant, well, for me, it is indeed an answered prayer. As this is one of the longest dream that I ever had in my mind. Eversince I was in my college days, this is the business that I am eyeing for. And until now, it is my dream to have one. However due to some situation and circumstances, I cannot establish a space where can I put up my own restaurant. But, I am starting it little by little. Just as I am starting it delivering food to our neighbors. And doing some home made products. As I am slowly starting the business, I am doing it together with a prayer. That God will handle everything for me. Since he knows what is the best thing to do.

My own restaurant ...wow that would really be a dream come true, first off i'd make sure the interior design is preferably something bright , to create a better atmosphere, the food would consist of menus from Lebanon,China, France,Mexico and other popular country cuisines. There would also be separate areas for those people who smoke and also for couple that prefer to eat with privacy.One specialty of my restaurant will be that just as the customer orders , a special batch of complementary garlic bread will be sent to there tables. Music will also be played via speakers , and a special of oil perfumes will be lit every night , when the house is full.lastly I'd prefer male waiters attending to the tables, so that wives don't have to worry about there husbands flirting.

I am in the plans to open a restaurant by next year as fast foods thyme. I'l include all fried rice and noodles stuffs.

I want to open a restaurant, and I'm planning to open next year. I don't want a fast food restaurant, because if I franchise a known Fast food, then it will be very costly. I'm planning to make an original one. Maybe a family restaurant. I am still thinking which cuisine is good. I want the restaurant to be classy, with good ambiance and relaxing colors. I want it to be a slightly expensive restaurant but not a fine dining.
