A few different options

So there are a few different ways we can go when opening a restaurant / cafe / sandwich shop.
  1. The business park cafe - This would be a simple cafe / sandwich shop within a business park, hopefully taking advantage of the people who work in the park and offering them a good breakfast and lunch
  2. The street cafe - A little more upscale then the business cafe with a broader menu. This would still need to be in an area of high traffic, but would be a sitdown restaurant for people taking the hour long lunch break.
  3. franchise - there is always the option of franchising a shop such as Brueggers, Subway, or Chic-Fil-A. Not sure how profitable this is, but well worth looking into.
  4. restaurant - The big, seats 100, open for dinner place is probably beyond us right now but we should look into its profitability.
I'm personally leaning towards #1. Keep costs low, offer a good product, and take advantage of the simple fact that when people are at work they are looking for their food to be one thing: convenient.
