I have launched, managed, and consulted for independent restaurants. I have been a part of failures and successes and have been left with a great understanding of what makes a good menu, a good atmosphere, and a good bottom line.

First phone call was very productive and smooth
Source: Clarity peter kohn May 17, 2024Ben shared links, business strategies, and potential moves for me to pivot towards or away from. I now know my idea is not as original as I thought, but It's comforting to know i'll be in competion with other businesses. So now I unfortunatley and FORTUNATELY have to go back to the drawing board. My strategy and unique but PROVEN model has been validated by others. So maybe I can be the burger king, in a sea of McDonald's businesses. That's ok too. Thanks Ben!
