Is running a small restaurant profitable...

Is running a small restaurant profitable ? I cook really well and my relatives tell me I should open a restaurant in my city.
Any fellows Jow Forumsraelites have this kind of experience ?

Yes and no

yeah i have some exprience, but you'll have to tell me somethin first 'fore I do

That shit sux. If this is your cooking get better.

Yes if you get your branding down right, have a small number of dishes and do them well. Also, ambient. Only use fresh local goods.

there tons of apps out there that help you run the inventory and statistics (which used to be hardest part), they make it simpler
but you still gotta have product people want

90% fail first year

No doubt it can be done, but know it's a lot of work. Not just the cooking, but the marketing, rent, payroll, legal, etc. It is not an easy way to get rich, but if you actually love cooking, then go for it.

OP isn't going to have time to cook.

Thanks for your answers.
