Americans spend more than $600 billion a year eating out. Busy consumers
don't have the time or inclination to cook - they want tasty, nutritious
meals without dishes to wash. Singles, working parents and seniors are
demanding greater convenience and are turning to restaurants to fill
that need. With so much dining and taking out, there's plenty of room
for more food businesses, but for a successful startup you need more
than just good recipes. You also need to know about planning,
capitalization, inventory control, and payroll management.
