Every restaurant has an operator or an owner who has the vision and drive to create the restaurant that he/she believes in.  The restaurant business is not a simple one to get into, now I don’t want to suggest that it’s impossible but read this list of skills that are required to call yourself a successful restaurant owner.

Conceptualist
Designer
City Permits and Licenses Person
Printer (menus, business cards, bar menu, signage, etc…)

Customer Service Provider
Problem Solver (eternal job)
Security (internal and external)
Shift Work

So, this category has been created exclusively for those visionarys we call restauranteurs.  All restauranteurs are invited to offer their insights into the business of restaurants.
