Decide what type of restaurant you really want to have. Fast-food joints or family based restaurants are better for beginners. Keep in mind that if you have a fun-center, you'll need to pay attention to your budget more. Fun-centers are the most popular restaurant options and can attract a great number of people no matter what time of the year. Or you may even want to go exotic and open up a restaurant for a culture of some sort. Whatever method you choose, be sure and plan out your steps carefully, so you can keep your business at a great start.
