hey chapos. i have a few plans for what my future could be. long story short if I can't get into a university in china i will open a restaurant here in amerikkka to get by and do something i enjoy (cooking). how would i achieve this without becoming the petty bourgeoisie, or at least if i have to be the petty bourgeoisie how could i betray may class and further communist goals in amerikkka? any advice would be appreciated.
I've quasi-explored this and there are a few obstacles and barriers to entry when specifically trying to establish a progressive dinery.
The best way to not be a mini-tyrant is to perform most day to day operations yourself. However...
Americans want variety like no other. 31 flavors? Make it 32. 35 would be better. More dining options will require more labor and source materials, and create a huge potential for waste.
Most restaurants exist on thin margins of profit and usually flourish solely based on capacity. However, there are some styles of food that buck this trend (Italian and bbq are good examples because the source products are cheap; it's all about the prep).
Retail storefronts are a ripoff. You will always be swimming upstream paying rent.
Conclusion: in order to sustain and not be a tyrannical jerk my only suggestion is to open a roadside hot dog, bbq, or pizza stand and have 0 employees.
thank you, comrade.
Tangent: I've seriously contemplated doing guerrilla style roadside food. Get a cart or functional food truck or bus, and just set up shop near busy thoroughfares all over, not repeating the same place twice.
Not going to the same place twice with a food truck is a great 6 month business plan.
Business survive on repeat customers, especially culinary business.
All ya gotta do is just make sure to kick up some earnins’ to tone. It would be awful if somethin’ were to happen to that nice food stand a’ yours 🤌
