A friend, Gary, who runs a 24-hour restaurant in the city, told me that it is a lot of work even though not many people realize that. A lot of his friends who have just lost their jobs through VSS went into the business but had to close down soon after because they just could not put in the commitment required. One of the downfalls is their inability to cook.
Gary says that besides coming up with an interesting menu, he needs to come up with ways to keep his diners entertained as well so that they will continue to patronize his restaurant. In fact, he just bought a 42-inch plasma TV and a HD media player for his restaurant. The TV was so huge, it needed extra tv stands! He actually wants it mounted but since it was the long holidays, he couldn't find anyone to do it yet.
My sister had an opportunity to enter into partnership with a friend to run a restaurant too but it simply requires way too much time, my sister had to decline. She felt it was a pity to let go of the opportunity to be her own boss but after talking to Gary, she felt better. There are many other businesses to go into if she wanted to be her own boss!
