OT - Anyone here own a restaurant?

I've worked in my family's bakery, been a short-order cook and
a bartender. What you're proposing sounds fantastic...if it weren't
in Iowa, away from the mountains (75 min. door to door for skiing)
I'd be there post-haste!

Yes, you need the banquet space.

Start with breakfast & lunch OR only lunch & dinner. Once business gets
established, then go for more.

I respectfully disagree. If the business model is sound, do a big grand
opening, lots of advertising, and start it up with all the draws to all of
the different groups and needs, all at once.

In my way of thinking, if they don't get what they need or want the first
time around, they may not be back for the second time.

Jay, don't be bashful about asking for advise from all of the different
skills that are represented in this group, as planning and construction
begins. We have contractors, electricians, lawyers, engineers, writers,
illustrators, ect, ect, all over the place. Use us for, if nothing else,
reality checks along the way. I can only speak for myself, in saying I
would be thrilled to be even a small part of it.
