I’m a perfectionist. I’d run myself into the ground.

I found these potato buns. I prefer them to the brioche in the pics

It’s just about the only industry that people walk around thinking they could just succeed in with little to no experience. It’s one of the bigger contributing factors to the high failure rate of restaurants.

I would pay to eat both burgs

It takes way more than making a good burger, to make a good burger restaurant. You can make your elevated burger and fail, while the grease pit down the street is selling frozen pucks hand over fist.

Damn. I want to eat that burger.

I like using grilled and raw onions

I smoke some pretty good ribs but know damn well the restaurant industry is beyond cutthroat so wouldn’t dare to dabble. The failure rate is insane.
Back in 2008 I started brewing beer and got pretty good at it, was placing in local competitions. I wanted to start my own brewery a few years in but the risk was just too high while starting a family. For a while I was kicking myself because the beer scene exploded but has since dwindled with a ton of breweries closing shop.

I’ve only thought, could I have a burger at every little local burger shop?

Only vaguely cuz running a restaurant is mostly about maintaining safety standards and paying bills but that burger looks nom nom!

I know I would eat into the profits.

Absolutely not. Keep it at home, serve it at bbqs. Your burger stand will 80% fail

This is coming from a guy that gets paid to cook burgers: YOU DONT WANT THIS LIFE

Success is not about the food. Tell me McDonald’s is better than the hundreds of thousands of failed burger joints.

Open the burger spot I say who cares what people say, maybe one day you will regret it…

Great looking burger, but I assure you that you don’t want to start a restaurant

Having been a multi-unit, multi-concept restaurant operator for 22 years, I opened my own burger restaurant last year and I just hit our break even after 14 months of operations. I was bleeding money for 14 months, working 14 hour days 7 days a week for 52 weeks straight and just last month I hit sales that meant I was able to pay my staff, rent and food without dipping into funds from my other companies.
But yeah sure, I would say open a burger shop! (Pls don’t)

To anyone that ever asks this question: do you love accounting? Do you love inventory? Do you love managing employees and having to be the one to fire people? Do you love covering for others people work because it’s your passion and it’s just their job?
Let your hobbies be hobbies. The food industry will suck your soul lol.

I never have, nor would I ever want to operate a restaurant. You can have it.

I need that, I want that, I would pay for that.

I would think starting a burger *truck* would be a safer bet. People are more willing to part with money when you catch them hungry at times when traveling to a restaurant is inconvenient for them, or when they are at an event. I’ve rarely seen a food truck charge less than $8 for any food item and yet they always have crazy lines

Damn looks so good.

What cheese is on the first burger?

No offense, but the burger in this pic looks like it has the same flavor as its esthetic. Mediocre would be high praise.
