I’m trying to convince my friend to set up a burger pop up after he sent a picture of his home made dinner. What do you guys think?

Looks like a delicious homemade burger! Not everyone who makes good food wants to be an entrepreneur though lol. Let the man enjoy his home burgers in peace 😂

Looks good, but you need to be a lot better than good to justify a pop-up.

That’s so hard to reproduce on a mass production scale

thats definitely a burger

Criticisms regarding running a pop-up aside, that looks absolutely 🔥🔥🔥

That looks delicious! Is there anything special about it that you think will make a successful pop up?

My limited experience from working in kitchens is that, the job is actually closer to running a warehouse with fast turnaround times or some other logistical job, than it is to home cooking.
As long as you are cool with that go for it!

Visually, it’s a 10 / 10. It’s perfect. I’m going to need your friend to come make burgers at my house.

There are enough burger restaurants.

Looks like Five Guys

Ask your friend how long it took to make this burger and if they could make potentially hundreds of these per day with the same quality at an affordable price. Competition among burger places is crazy.

That’s a good looking burger

Making burgers for my family and friends is fun, making more than that is a lot of work that I don’t want to do just because my homie thinks it’s a good idea lol

Can he make 500 that look like that?

Making a burger like that is pretty easy. I don’t think that makes one well suited to going into the restaurant business.

How’s it taste?

Killer…but head on over to the restaurant owner subreddit and see what people say about opening your own spot haha (ive cooked for 20 years also, can confirm)

For a second I thought this was Five Guys.

Do it

Sing me up… anywhere close to Los Angeles??

Looks amazing and now I want one

My friends tell me this all the time… I enjoy cooking good food and everyone likes it but I would never want to own a restaurant or sell food like that… it’s not for me and it’s possibly not the same for your friend… now if he wants to , you should encourage him more

You eat with your eyes first

have you done a pop up before?

Are we being critical? It’s a whack ass bun!

It looks like something a friend would make if I went over to visit. 🙂

The bun is looking worn from so many fillings. Is he interesting in a new career ?

Tell them that Denmark is desperate for a good burger joint. All they really have is McDs.

Running a restaurant is like 75% dealing with distributors, 23% dealing with payroll and other paperwork, and 2% actually cooking. Even a pop-up, you still have to deal with health codes and certifications and all that, which is usually the hardest part of the paperwork side.
Plus making burgers professionally ain’t all that easy. It at least looks like he wouldn’t be cooking to order, which simplifies things, but have you ever seen a professional grill in a rush? Full ass grill with no room for more, and people asking from the line “where’s this, where’s that, can I get this on the fly?” I dunno, can you deal with it being undercooked? Way different from frying up a couple of patties at home.
Oh, and running a burger place is super hard because everyone thinks they can do it, so there’s tons of burger places, so it’s much harder to break into because the market’s already so saturated. Let’s face it, just chains alone you can probably name a dozen within a ten or so mile radius, not to even get into smaller places. Yeah, his burger is going to taste better than McD’s, but for the price? Plenty of people aren’t going to want to pay what it takes to turn a profit on a place like that.
And there’s the big rub, is a burger place as a pop-up? I don’t think that’s a good idea for anyone. I don’t totally understand pop-ups, but the idea is to sell a ton of product in a short period of time. That’s how they turn a profit when normally it takes a restaurant a year or more to become profitable. You do that by having a product with high demand, burgers are not exactly high demand because, like I said, there are a million places already.
