Here in New York City if you own a restaurant of any kind it means working 12-16 hours a day, seven days a week. Yes you can make decent money (6-7 figures) but it will become your entire life. Opening, preparing lunch, then cleanup, then preparing dinner, then close-out....it's no wonder restaurant culture is filled with booze and cocaine.
There is a shortage of workers, too. Wait staff, bar staff, kitchen staff...everyone is hurting and looking for help. Prices have gotten insane too, jumping anywhere from 40% to 60% higher and more!
No thanks. Cooking for myself is the way to go these days. Healthier too.
