What I Learned From Owning My Own Restaurant After 1 Year

You are lucky, not to have partners.

Everything you are saying it is true, from someone who opened over 2 dozen restaurants. If you are not ready to work hard, stay away from the restaurant business.

Is there a book that teaches you how to be the general manager of a restaurant? As in what you do on a daily basis and with clear examples.

Where all the money come from to just purchase all that stuff so fast?

I learned alot from this brother! Awesome love it!

I'm getting started on opening a small diner like restaurant and I'll like for you to talk more any the restaurant business

Yes❤❤

Thank you for this video. I am opening a soul food /seafood restaurant and i am a 30 year old nurse by profession. I am passionate about cooking and my husband has experience from Franchise restaurants and bars . But i am nervous and i dont know what to expect. I feel like i am putting a-lot of items on my menu :)

Love this video, very realistic. Please make more videos. Thank you❤

This is exactly why I only opened a food truck and that is still a lot of work.

yes say more about business plz

Thank you for the info I’m planning on opening a Mexican restaurant!!

Can you post links to more about this in depth. I tried going through your videos but damn lol. U have so many. Which is good. But I’m looking for more details on tips and understanding before I dive in. Thanks for this information bc it helps alot

I'm 14 and dream of owning my own restaurant since my mom cant teach me a lot about italian food i had to watch this and some other videos so thank you

I am in the process of starting a restaurant and i need as much help as i can get. P.S. is a small restaurant.

Thanks a lot Anton. Respect

Maybe plan a little bit more before signing a lease & you’d still be open lol

Can you make a video about he process you got in place in your restaurant

My wife and i have an annual income combined of 102k before taxes. We can save 30k in 6 months. We don't have any experience obviously since this will be a new field for us but we will gain as much knowledge as possible, hopefully find a genuine mentor! Im 24 and shes 23 so we just want to grow and prosper to be set !!! My first question, how much money do I need to start everything, I know it will vary based on what type of restaurant. Im thinking bar & grill or Mexican restaurant type of setting.

Hey Anton, I appreciate your honesty in this video. I have zero experience in running a restaurant. I worked in restaurants performing various duties in my late teens, but I'm in my early 40s now and I know a lot has changed. However, I'm passionate about food. I love to cook and I love to serve people. But it's more than just cooking, it's the culinary arts I love so much. I live in a place that doesn't have a lot of "good" food. But it's a good community. It's a big small town. I have dreamed my whole life about owning a restaurant. I know it's difficult. I don't live in a fantasy world. But in one part of the video, you talk about how you used to travel but now "there are no sick days". I guess I'm scared to give up certain freedoms that I have right now. I work from home, I make 6 figures (in a fairly cheap area in the country to live), and I get to enjoy a lot of time off; including a 2 week holiday break every year with my current company. So how did you convince yourself to give up your freedoms to chase your passions?

Data is super important, how often are you running your P&L reports?

Great video. Keep em coming

hey i was wondering as a manger, if u were confronted with a unexperienced waitress, would you give her minimum wage or wiulf you go lower? thanks for answering.

Awesome and clear.

Just want to say thank you. I live in Stuttgart Germany, I'm black American with a German lady partner, and girlfriend LOL. Our place is doing ok after 4 years. it's hard work as you said. We are both up in age and still trying to move ahead. I am also an Entertrainer.
Our thing is a lot of time we don't have the power to keep going day by day. Open at noon, we close early at times and we know that is not good. We need help but don't have the money to pay for it, We Need to stay open longer but are too tired and again no help. What can we do? We have music, open-air 5 times a year, 300 to 400 people, Free cover! It's hard fighting the city to do things, to let us have things, OMG. This is a paperwork country. HELP and Thank you

What is the profit margin percentage to stay profitable , ... I heard them Delivery apps are taking 30% of thee menu price, is it worth to use them?

I own a restaurant we keep it simple.
We only sell one thing

Where is this restaurant located .

Open restaurant is easy be boss is easy …if you hire a chief always complain about salary 😂you headache this kind of business I don’t like …what I like is auto run bar or club much more easier to manage .

Soul food sounds hard. Thats why im thinking about a burger place! 😆

Restaurant business is a grind , go hard or go home

Simply spoken and profoundly insightful. A mini MBA on opening a restaurant in 16 minutes. Thanks for doing this!

You must be an Aries??😊❤
