What is a ballpark figure to open a diner style restaurant? -

I m interested in starting a chili parlor. I would like to hear from those who have some experience in starting a similar type of restaurant on what it may cost and how long it takes to get business rolling.

You need well into 6 figures, because there is a 90% chance the venture will fail in its first 2 years.Good Luck, I hope you break the trend...:O)..
