There is a resturant on the field at Norman, OK. I believe it to be
successful because the University of Oklahoma is right nearby. We go for
the $100. breakfast. They serve lots of greasy breakfast food for not
much money. Fun place to fly.

There is one at Fayetteville (AR) Drake field that seems to struggle and
is not open on Sundays.

I always think these things should be open both weekend days.

I also have a friend that owns a marina, has a airport at the marina,
and a resturant. He is always complaining about the cost of running the
resturant, but it is there for the marina and airplane folks.

Good luck

So the land adjacent to the inn is for sale, and we want to put an
aviation themed restaurant on the site. It'll be the perfect fly-in
restaurant, with breakfast all day, decent prices, ugly waitresses, and
a 2nd-floor patio over-looking the airport. We want to call it "the
Tower", and it'll have a great view of the runways!

Trouble of it is, we don't know *anything* about running a restaurant.
Now, this never stopped us before -- we didn't know anything about
hotels, either -- but, hey, this sounds WAY more complicated, from my
uneducated standpoint.

Anyone here own/operate/manage a restaurant? Got any words of advice?
Any advice on finding someone who DOES know something about
restaurants?
