Yeah brother the resturant biz is tuff. My family and I bought a established steak house back in 99. When we bought it they were doing about 750k a yr. Our first full year there we almost doubled that, but I was there from 10 am til 12 midnight those first 365 days, ouch! Then I would take 1 day off a week which became a 1/2 day because it seemed like every day I was off I was getting a phone call about something. The food biz can be great money makers, but having the time to enjoy the money, time with your family, and all the headaches involved convinced me it wasnt worth it. If I was a single man Id probaly still be there. I stayed there til 03 and went back to what I had done for 15 years in the previous family business, Pest Control. Its been a little over 5 years since I started and it can be a very good source of income, but right now its just keeping the lights on thanks to the economy, but I think this year for me will get back to what one of the signs hanging in my office says, 'Killing is my business, and business is Good!'
