If you had to slave away in a restaurant in order to get yourself through college, you're in good company. Few students have the luxury of not having to worry about working and paying bills while in school. However, your time was not wasted in these small part-time jobs. If you've ever considered owning a business, a great investment for you could be opening a restaurant. Here are four reasons to consider this industry.
You get a kick out of entertaining guests. A majority of being successful in the service industry is catering to your customers. Everyone has bad days; however, being a restaurant owner, your show must go on every night for you to succeed. The root of a successful restaurant or bar all lies in the customer service and how it is executed.
You are foodie. Being a business guru is great, but you also need to have knowledge of food, flavors and wine in order to succeed. Unless you plan on partnering with someone else who will handle any aspects regarding the cuisine, you need to know good food.
You are willing to put in the time. It may look like a life of luxury, full of delicious meals, fun dinner events and lots of revenue, but that's a myth. In reality, owning a restaurant is a lot of hard work for several hours a day. You must sacrifice a lot of your personal time in order to be successful (especially in the beginning). This can easily cause complications in your social life making this one of the most difficult aspects of the industry.
Your dream is to be your own boss. Many people consider being your own boss the ultimate dream. Working for yourself is one of the bigger perks of opening a restaurant. Working towards your own goal is easier to justify than working for someone else's.
If you have a life long dream of opening a business, consider opening a restaurant or bar. Not every successful owner goes into the hospitality industry knowing all the in's and out's of the business. Not all are even good cooks; however, enrolling in a few classes in a culinary school couldn't hurt. As long as you are willing to put in the work, you could be very happy and successful as a restaurant owner. Just some food for thought (pun intended) next time you go out to your favorite restaurant.
