If you want to be the next Warren Buffet, go for it.

That's a massive difference in payments.  

This forum is massive and a bit confusing.

All of this and many other factors need to be considered running a restaurant.The biggest issue a one off restaurant faces is food quality and pricing.Small places can't order in massive quantities so do not have long term food contracts locked in at a set price like chains do.Instead food cost fluctuations can hurt a small restaurant plus the quality you get from a supplier might be good one week but the next a new company came in to the food supplier and gave them a cheaper deal to use their product and try it out.The new product may be better,the same, or worse.The problem is you pay the same price and charge the customer the same price as before but it might not taste as good.I don't know how you will buy this restaurant as you have no experience as an owner.You can't just open a restaurant and expect people to come in.A few will but not enough to make a great business.You have to pound the ground and press palms and get the product with free samples into people's mouths.This will generate buzz for your restaurant and create customers with a relationship.Customers are habit creatures.Get them a great experience,great food,decent price and you will get repeat business.

Many large companies hold massive holding under one company.

Still a massive savings in time and hassle.

I once rented a room in someone's house in the city-- that couple renting out their rooms were making $5000+ a month off of renting out rooms in their own (massive, urban, ritzy) home with multiple roommates.

If you don't believe me, just ask Warren Buffet, or ask Google to ask Warren Buffet for you ...

Hope so.....Last I brought it up was the massive thread when the forums were revamped, and I figured it got lost in the sea of other complaints so we'll see....
