--
How do you make a Million Dollars in the restaurant business ?
-->> Start with 2 million !!
What are the 2 best days in your life if you own a restaurant ?
-->> The day you open it, and the day you sell it !
Or close it, and stop losing money.
According to several reliable statistical studies that you can find yourself by Googling, about 25 % of new restaurants in America fail in the first year, and about 60 % (cumulatively) fail in the first 3 years. Why ?
Because anyone who thinks they can burn meat well or turn tofu pink can open a restaurant ! -- just as any scientist who can do PCR blindfolded or run a one-button auto-dock program from Accelrys thinks they are a biotech entrepreneur extraordinaire !
No barriers to entry ! -- that is the common problem with both the American restaurant and biotech industries. And, sadly, this is a global bio-food-poisoning epidemic.
So the next time a biotech entrepreneur tells you to drink his/her Kool-Aid, ask them if they have ever successfully started & managed a restaurant for 4 years or more.
Be careful out there !
