Answer In order to accomplish your goals you will need to research where you want to open your place. The most important thing in any restaurant is the location. Second, you will need to assess whether you have the wherewithal to pull it off on your own--either financially or as an operator. Do you have a banking relationship? Do you have cash for a down payment? Is there a property that fits your dream scenario? Right now, it is just a dream--add a little flesh. Good Luck. TC
