Hello all my name is Lou
I use to have a small restaurant in a mall setting years ago.
I'm currently in the industry just don't have a restaurant.
But that will change ...

My business provides a fire preventive service for the restaurant industry.

      The pic in the place to eat in forum was my convoluted way to show that I know of restaurants in Phoenix.

      I know many very, very well.

      ps. I seem to have probs making a signature.

                I have owned 3 restaurants myself Lou.I had 2 that were successful,a pizza place and a chicken and rib joint which I sold and one I bought and never opened.I toy with the idea of opening another one(I buy restaurant equipment when I find good good deals),and have enough equipment stored to open aleast 2 places now. Whenever I start to think seriously about doing it again I remember what a daily grind it was and how much overhead you have in a restaurant,and the shear amount of sales you need to do to really make a worthwhile profit.Have you ever considered a nice concession trailer Lou? I have three I am still in the process of setting up,2 waymatics and a custom sales stainless hot dog trailer.I would stick with the KEC cleaning business and try the concession trailer route first and maybe you might not want a full blown restaurant.I miss the fun we had running the restaurants,but not the aggravation and the overhead.

                  I'm not giving up the hood cleaning gig. And I have owned a restaurant in the past.
                  My reasons for wanting a restaurant again are very personal. I'm not ready to discuss just yet.

                  And I too have equipment stored away. As well as access to a lot more.

                      I used to have a custom commercial upholstery shop. I specialized in restaurant booths, singles,doubles, round as well as corner booths.

                      ok I lost my train of thought.
