Maintaining Majority Share
I like social interaction, and would like more
Teamwork is important in a business, and a restaurant
Maintain friendly environment
Customers should feel safe and happy when eating with us
Would like to make enough money
Savings
Not be in debt
Room for personal funds, familial funds
Funds for potential growth within restaurant.
Want to share load with other managers, trustworthy people
Want to be a part of the restaurant, not just the records guy
Want to be in a friendly work environment to enjoy people.
Wouldn't mind helping in the kitchen occasionally
Cleaning dishes, ha
Need someone to build the place, make sure it works
Need someone for electrical
Someone for design choice
I bring the goal, the idea, and the soul.
Others build the body.
I can come up with the basic concept.
What we sell
The general atmosphere
Leadership
I can always find another job
I wouldn't rush into this. I'd take it slow, like a pet project if I can.
There needs to be security for my family if business goes bad
My employees might rely on this job, I should try to maintain a safety net.
The older I get, the less I will want to move and work.
Eventually, I'll want to make sure my business is in good hands.
Can sell it.
Can transfer names to family.
I want this to be a nice little place, not a chain.
IF popular enough, might think about opening more branches.
All money goes to making the business stronger.
Lifestyle business preferred
I want to treat this as a pet project to start
I want to live alongside this business
Make money enough to be happy, not rich
If we get rich off it, might consider building a legacy then.
Meijer builds buildings without going into debt. I would prefer this approach then being in debt and being stressed my whole life.
To get enough money for a restaurant.
The "short game" is a loan from a bank, and pay off with time.
The "Long game" is saving up money, and obtaining money from potential share-holders.
Share holders have a say in the way the business is run
Most likely friends or family
Preferred, but not mandatory.
Depends on how we fund it.
By loan from bank, maintain sole majority.
If shareholders help pay for business, they have a share on the restaurant.
