My hubby and I are thinking of getting into the rest/deli business. Does anyone know how to go about this? -

We live in Orlando,Fl . Neither of us have any idea on where to start ,or how to go about this. My hubby has been told for years he needs to open a restaurant because he is a natural born expert cook! We just want to start out small. Sandwiches[secret sauce] bakery goods etc...Please advise:-)) Thanks!

Restaurants are really higrisk businesses. The failure rate is extremely high.The first thing you need to do is go to work in a restaurant or deli, for someone else, to learn all the in s and out s of running a business. After a few years of that, you will know if you are suited to running a business. A restaurant is a BUSINESS; being a good cook is not enough, if you aren t in the right location, if you don t fill a needed niche, if there aren t enough potential customers in your area, etc, etc.Here s a LONG list of things to think about:http://www.allfoodbusiness.com/starting_��
