My appreciation to the author for creating this wonderful article on self business. Starting a restaurant business is very lucrative and fetching too. But there are certain things to be noted here. We should never open a restaurant inside a residential colony. The restaurants must be on the main roads especially amid other activities, so that people coming to other shops or business can refresh themselves in the restaurant. Choosing wrong places can lead to loss. I have seen one big three star hotel in Hyderabad which is located just near to GHMC dumping garbage dumping yard. Now tell me who will come and eat and stay there.
