Books-a-million is basically a library and a coffee shop, and since they're a private business they can kick out the homeless whenever they want.

>When people finish their day and hurry home, my day starts.
>My diner would be open from midnight to seven in the morning.
>They'd call it "Midnight Diner".
>I make whatever customers request as long as I have the ingredients for it.
>That's my policy. Would I even have customers? Probably more than you would expect.

>>16856200
Is this a Midnight Dinner reference? Is the show good ?

>>16856164
There's actually a place in my hometown that is basically your picture except they also serve booze. Very popular with the LGBTQ+ crowd, you'd love it.

>>16856235
It's comfy. I enjoy it despite not being a weeb

>>16856238
Sister That place looks kinda awful

>>16856164
Probably a seafood restaurant. Specialize in fresh catches and fresh local produce. Menu changes often. Lots of room for creativity. Not too big, low overhead. Have a nice neighborhood bar associated with it serving cheap fried fish and oysters and stuff.

>>16856251
You might like the show Kodoku No Gurume too, but I don't know where you can watch it

Dusk to dawn diner, low lighting, black, white, and red art deco decor, serve normal diner shit + one weird special at any given moment. Booths around the outer edge, one long table in the middle to eat with strangers and meet new people.

>>16856164
my dream would be to open a great breakfast restaurant. There's a place like this in my city, called Happy Gillis, and if you're ever in Kansas City you have to go there. You can taste the love and the care they put into their dishes. And I know that sounds gay but I'm not kidding, they put a lot of thought and care into their menu. It's the kind of place where you can tell the owners are living their dream and they put love into every dish they cook.

The dishes are filling without being gratuitous, and the ingredients give it that extra kick that makes you say wow. I want to have the kind of restaurant where someone can go in there even if they're alone, get breakfast, read the paper or their tablet/phone, feel nourished, and leave ready to take on the day

>>16856280
>Kodoku No Gurume
based, I'll take a look

I watched Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman after midnight diner, pretty good too.

>>16856314
I like big window restaurant, I bet it looks amazing during dawn and night

>>16856314
their food is panifully mediocre

>>16856314
Have you had this ? What's the ingredients? Sauce ?

>>16856164
Same thing, except on Mars (so no homeless anyway)

When I was working at a bar I started doing keg math (full size keg costs X, has Y number of beers inside, if I sell for Z cost I make a profit of A for beer, accounting for losers with B, etc) and ran into what I called the pickle problem (but is probably just basic business math) how much do pickles cost? Is it more cost effective to make my own or buy them by the bucket? Do I do a slim Jim and sell em for cheaper in bulk? As a former aspiring(failed) writer it was maddening. Fuck math.
If I were to have struck it rich I would open a greasy spoon bar selling predominantly two ingredient drinks- rum n cokes, vodka sodas, screwdrivers, gin and tonics, etc and cheap beers like high life and bud heavy. You want something fancy? We got Jack Daniels and Sam Adams.
For food, we'd have whatever sandwiches I felt like making that week and whatever soup I felt like making that week. I really fucking like soup though, so I'd actively put in effort to make good soups. I live in boston so I'd be looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars just to buy a liquor license though.

>>16856235
it's good
there are two versions on netflix confusingly and I always forget which is better

>>16856359
>their food is panifully mediocre
compared to what? Their breakfast sandwich is among the best I've ever had. Same with their biscuits and gravy. They do a bagel with cream cheese and salmon then some capers and arugula I think. None of their stuff is over the top, it's fairly simple food but with great ingredients, mostly locally sourced from organic farms and stuff.

For what it's worth though I think they're breakfast is the best. Their lunch food varies and sometimes it's good, but their breakfast is perfect imo. I used to live around the corner and would walk there on weekend mornings.

>>16856368
yes their breakfast sandwich is my favorite menu item. I actually don't know what the sauce is but it's really good. Very subtle. For lack of a better term I think the sauce is a kind of chipotle mayo but I'm not sure. Their website calls it "bacon aioli" so I guess it's a kind of aioli sauce with bacon drippings perhaps? Either way super tasty and I even like the bread. I normally hate whole grain breads but it really works with that sandwich.

>>16856331
they're only open in the mornings but yeah, it's a nice place. Looks hipster as fuck but it's so unpretentious.

>>16856164
It would be family restaurant that is an alligator zoo that also butchers the alligators and specializes in alligator meat. There would be windows into the gator habitat from the restaurant so you could watch gators like you eat alligators. Maybe throw a a couple parrots or some something in there too. Maybe sell some branded alligator purses and belts in an attached gift shop. There might be some small time version of this somewhere down south, but my dream restaurant would be in NYC, so would be considered quite the novel experience.

>>16856405
I accidentally switch between them and don't really notice any difference. One is older and the other one is basically a continuation and is newer.

>>16856164
I have a small pub in a "resort town" in Wisconsin. Burgers, fries, curds, fried chicken, fish from the lake. It's pretty much exactly what I've always wanted in my own restaurant. I mostly pour drinks and cook burgers for the locals, made a lot of friends this way, and I make good money in the summer. I don't have a website or social media, I want to stay small and mostly just feed the locals.

I always wanted to have a diner that was also a strip club open in the morning. You could go there and eat hangover breakfast. It would be bright fluorescent lighting to bring out the strippers’ flaws, like c-section scars etc.

>>16856368
anyway it's basically just this local whole grain bread from farm to market bread co. Then they have the eggs and bacon from some local organic free range farm. The sauce is apparently a bacon aioli, and that's it. Fairly simple but just super delicious.

One of their more interesting dishes that they only did for a while was a "Korean Reuben" which was basically just a reuben but instead of sauerkraut they used Kimchi, it was delicious

>>16856359
honestly you don't know shit, the chef behind fucking El Bulli went to happy gillis when he was in KC. Real recognize real nigga

>>16856164
A Classic gentleman's association. It would be a cigar lounge without the cigars. It would serve coffee and breakfast and would serve game and stews in the evening. It would have a large library and would be a place for men to talk politics, do business and draw maps. It would be a place for men to relax after work to organize and strategize. There would be a location for the local womens league as well.

>>16856164

Probably an onigiri specialty shop. "Onigiri" are filled rice balls, the Japanese equivalent of sandwiches.

Our shop's gimmick would be tons of USB and wireless charging stations, for customers to recharge their mobile devices while they wait in line.

We'd probably call the place "Charge Up And Japanese Onigiri!"... wait, maybe that's too long? Better just call it "Charge Up and JO!" for short.

>>16856164
I'd probably do a library coffee shop thing that charged by the hour to prevent homeless people occupying the place all day.

>>16856164
I'd bring back the North American automat. Like Febo but geared towards hot sandwiches, sides, and no sitting around.

>>16857777

tex-mex + burgers

4 am to noon diner
fresh pies every day
toaster and a flat top

>>16857962
>4 am to noon diner

We have a place like that nearby, little hole-in-the-wall greasy-spoon breakfast/brunch joint, open almost those same hours. Owner does the cooking and also takes orders/waits except summer weekends when he might use a waitress to help with the brunch crowd. Customers are mostly locals/regulars since it's not close enough to the highway and has just a few parking spaces.

24-hour diners have to deal with the rowdy loitering drunk crowd. One 24-hour diner around here supposedly charges higher prices after midnight to compensate.

>>16857835

Be sure to include an extra-large cloakroom for all those fedoras, trenchcoats, and capes.

>There would be a location for the local womens league as well.

The broom closet would probably do. Body pillows don't need much room.

>>16856164
Mini Pie food truck. Our staple would be mini chicken pot pie, sold with top and bottom crust in those disposable foil pie tins, or cooked in a nonstick pie dish, removed and wrapped.

There'd be a rotating selection of three other pies: another meat pie, a vegetarian pie, and a dessert pie (almost always a fruit pie).

For faster turnaround time I'd try to par-cook or even fully blind bake the bottom crusts, maybe with a specialized machine so I could leave the rim uncooked to crimp with the top crust.

Pic semi-related (these are mini pies I made, but not how I'd make them for the pie truck).

>>16856164
all the waiters are trained chimps!

We had a wonderful English tea house close down recently (the owner was old and it hadn't been opened consistently for years). So my restaurant would be that. An assortment of various teas and hot drinks, scones with jellies, tea sandwiches and other pastries and soups and salads, just like the old tea house. It would be quaint and feminine and Victorian inspired, preferably with a patio out back or rooftop garden. The old tea shop used to host lots of women's events like bridal showers, baby showers and kids birthday parties so we would cater to that. There would be some handsome waiters and we would partner with an outside company to host princess themed tea parties for kids. We would decorate for every major holiday and would have have a rotating seasonal menu.

>>16856436
happy for you anon, sounds nice

>>16857945
Why did these ever disappear? Was the food always bad?

>>16856299
Put on some doomjazz and make the waitresses wear red lipstick and matching nailpolish

all restaurants have some theme or something, usually a country
can't you just do whatever you like? would it have 0 chance of working?

Females only
All the chairs vibrate
Its called "cum n dine"

>>16856164
Witchcraft works.
A bar specializing in gimmicky cocktails, with a ye old herbal focus for people who dont want to try memes. specialized in catering to women, which will make the place thankless and full of tumblr thots, but what are you going to do? people starved for any sense in their lives are the ones that are going to go to a dive to experience a day of sovl.

>>16856164
I'd like to have a small restaurant. Maybe capacity of like 50 - 70. Haven't decided what kind of aesthetic it would be. I would just serve simple food that I grew up eating and try and make it as nice as I can. I've been slowly building the menu in my brain. Meatloaf, cabbage soup, chicken drumsticks, green bean casserole, a couple pastas.

make katsudon. only katsudon. I don't care if we can make other things with the same ingredients. buy the chickens and kill them that morning along with fresh eggs. Not sure if to keep it just white rice or have fried rice too

>>16858238
Katsudon is pork, numbskull. You've failed already.

>>16858254
its pork or chicken but I figured by me mentioning the chicken being used I wouldnt need to write CHICKEN KATSU USING CHICKEN AND EGGS but I will right now for a retard like you

>>16858238
You should also make oyakodon, it uses basically the same ingredients.

>>16858287
yeah I guess you don't make chicken katsu with dark meat

>>16858261
Only an absolute tastelet would rather use chicken. I suppose I shouldn't have assumed that wouldn't be you.

>>16858230
I think this would work better as a bar that also offered food. A magic pub could be cute.

>>16858378
it would, but I want to veer hard away from a restaurant experience so gimmicky as the place's top billing, I don't think it would last. It would be better for a bar to get a full restaurant venue after achieving success.

>>16858357
>this retard doesn't know about oyakatsudon.

>>16856164
A bakery/sandwich shop/rotisserie place, in or near a major train station with a good view of the tracks. Ideally I'd have both a large quick service counter for sandwiches, bread/baked goods, etc, plus a sit down dining section, and at least the quick service counter would be open either till midnight or the last train, whichever is later. I'd call it the Bogie Bakery, maybe have an actual bogie in the place as a centerpiece.

>>16856238
>>16858230
There's also one of these in the same town. Pickwicksmercantile.com
They operate 3 pretty severely disgusting businesses
Pickwick's - gift shop but all the staff dress like they're 1700s English nobility
Deadwick's - same thing but with the witchy angle you mention
Fezziwig's - the restaurant section, same schtick as Pickwick's but they make a big deal about being "a soda fountain" and in spooky szn they go with the witchy deadwick's stuff
They run things like stupid ghost tours around town
I hate everything about all 3 places

>>16858487
what's so bad about it?

>>16858510
Gimmicky to the max, it's in a beautiful old building that could pull off anything really well and they stuff it with tourist BS. I walk past it near daily on my way to fish. In fact, I may go rn.

>>16858487
very underwealming presentation from what I can tell. I'm not expecting hollywood or anything, but they wont even show the dining area, and mostly sell perfumes and online workshops.

>>16858515
Ah. I wonder if you'd feel differently if you didn't pass by it every day? It sounds kind of fun to me. I'm sure the concept could be better done. I'm guessing the food isn't very high quality? That is a shame.

>>16858487
lol how many of them do you think are trannies

>>16856200
Unironically, this.

Except I'd only be open to Bar/Restaurant staff, so they could have somewhere to unwind after a shift.

Greasy spoon, sandwiches and pizzas. Very small, and a signature dish that no one else serves. I'd like to open next to a Mexican place and maybe a Starbucks or Dunkin'. Give each of them a neighbor package when I open.

This thread makes me feel like I have zero ideas but here it is:

Soup, Salad, Breadsticks.

That's it. I've always liked restaurants with compact menus. The only thing we sell is soup, salad and breadstick combos. Nothing else.

>>16856164
What a fucking asshole lol

>>16858612
>tfw didn't read that faggot OP before posting my dream restaurant
What a shitstain, holy shit.

A restaurant with no explicit rules about occupying it for the entire day to lure homeless people in BUT there are trap doors under all the chairs leading to meat grinders that trigger if you've been there too long. The burgers would be made from this meat.

>>16858604
There's a soup spot at one of the train stations in my city. Literally a hole in the wall with 8-10 different soups in urns. Dude is slammed during winter.

>>16858604
>SSB
Are cheesesticks a type of breadstick?

>>16856164
I'd open a Dutch snack bar but outside of the Netherlands. It would be housed in an old trailer at a crossroad or roundabout. There would be no staff other than me and sometimes a chav Dutch grill and we would only speak Dutch with a heavy eastern Dutch accent. People who order fries with ketchup get a ladle scoop of hot frying tallow in their face. In the corner is a single flipper machine and a table with only one chair. If it's sunny outside there is would be some plastic tables on the pavement with a ragged umbrella with a cigarette manufacturer logo on it. You can only pay with cash. I would secretly not sell real viandellen but just dip regular frikandellen in batter. There would be an old farmer smoking hand rolled tobacco and eating a tartare sandwich or broodje bal on a daily basis

>>16858487
Good morning I hate women

>>16858635
this is so stupid why did I laugh

>>16858636
Sounds like a great location. Nice thing about soups is that they can freeze and reheat well to reduce wastage.

>>16858648
They are not. However a cheesy garlic bread would be nice. I'd want to keep the breadsticks variety rather low (and desu use frozen ones) so I can focus on making good soups and salads. The salad is probably the trickiest part desu, lots of highly perishable ingredients. There will be a cheesy garlic breadstick, a wholewheat breadstick, a refined white flour breadstick and these will be served with flavored dipping oils. If we bake fresh sticks then excess non cheese/garlic breadsticks can be turned into croutons, Italian bread soup, Italian bread salad or a breakfast bread pudding.

What soups would you guys like? My favorites:
>minestrone with sausage
>loaded baked potato soup
>chicken noodle
>red chili
>white chili

>>16858672

>>16856164
Everything best quality possible, ingredients and cooking wise
- patatas bravas
- french fries with some home made sauces
- lamb ribs
- nice thick steak
- nachos with plenty of the thingies
- milkshakes
- some burgers
- chocolate coulant
- apple pie
- light, medium and heavy salads
- tendies
- a nice variety of sacues to dip stuff into
- coffee including "cafe a la crema" (this shit is ridiculously good)
- some ovened and elaborated fish
- vegans can fuck off
- oh and something with fresh shrimps for the shrimps autists like my friend
- chocos

>>16858680
>loaded baked potato soup
I used to order this every time mom and dad would take me to Bennigan's. Then the Monte Cristo for my main.
I'm not huge on soup, though, very few I do like, I'm more of a stew people, namely pot roast. Can't go wrong with chicken noodle. Clam chowder is awful when it's not hot.

>>16858692
AND chinese rice to combine with :
. chicken
. shrimps
. sour pork
. whatever they do with the beef

>>16858692
>>16858696
oh, and:
- duck magret with orange recipe too
- breaded and marinated sardines (one of my favorites and I hate fish)

>>16858695
I'm more of a stew person myself but I don't think I could adapt my recipes for a restaurant environment. I love making my fajita stew recipe but browning and deglazing everything ends up being a real chore, same with pot roast. I feel like soup is more forgiving both in terms of flavor and time management in a kitchen.

>>16858692
>>16858696
>>16858702
AND
- tiramisu
- brownie
- chocolate cake

>>16858062
That sounds exactly 100% like the place I would go to eat.

>>16856164
One of those korean style coffee/smoothie shops with the giant drinks. Nothing harder to cook than waffles or pancakes, no frills inside, no fancy coffees just various types of putting shots into water or milk, sometimes with ice.

>>16858187
I've never heard of doomjazz till today, but I really like that. It works for the restaurant, too.

>>16857945
Based, automats seem so fucking dope

>>16858187
>Why did these ever disappear? Was the food always bad?

I think Fast Food places like McDonald's generally replaced the automats. They existed in high density cities and you could get standard diner food there. The cooks worked in the back and placed the food in the slots. Once you could get a quick burger in a to go back from a mcdonalds type place, automats closed up quick

>>16858680
There was a place like that in Edinburgh when I was visiting. I stuck out like a sore thumb as a guy in backpacker wear, but they were incredibly nice and the scones were to die for. Would love to see more of that.

Thanks anon. Here's a chicken pot pie pro-tip: slow-poach cubed chicken thighs in below-boiling stock, salted more heavily than you want the resulting pie to be. Ideally keep the temperature in the 135-165 range. This basically sous-vides it, while infusing it with the concentrated stock, which you'll later add to the bechamel for the pie filling. You'll get a better chicken texture than any other method I've tried.

Small menu casual

You sit at the table and there is a fresh baguette, Good butter, and a pitcher of ice water. You're going to have 3 choices for lunch service, and 3 different choices for dinner service. The dessert is the dessert of the day.

Drink choices are beers and wines paired to the dish you selected, coffee(French press brought to the table with a thing of cream and sugar), ice tea, hot teas, milk, and cola.

Meal price is always the same, but different between lunch and dinner services. Alcohol costs extra.

There is no fixed waitress for your table. The hostess/es seat you, and then you're left alone. Unless you press the call button at the table. Then a waitress will come to your table. Staff are all paid at least $15 a hour. So no tipping.

Cuisine sticks mostly to European and North American.

>>16856164
Went to one place like this in highschool to try and impress girl with my massive intellect. They end up just being absolutely flooded with non-reading hipsters who you can't differentiate from homeless and lost college kids pretending to do homework but probably hoping someone talks to them.

It'd probably just be a little cafe, oriented around lunch fare, sweets and sandwiches with a revolving specials menu based on the time of year, using local ingredients for specials, etc. The only reason is I'd want something smaller. Really it'd just be meant to be a refuge for the more tolerable college students in the area or just people who want to chill somewhere calm and read, write, play cards or chess or something. If I wanted to be pretentious, maybe I'd filter in some light jazz overa speaker.

Coffee's obvious. Ideally it'd stock more esoteric teas than Lipton, and maybe we'd buy out our daily drivers from local bakeries and I've got a good handful of well-received recipes I've been interested in trying to sell.

Not profitable, though, for a plethora of reasons.

It used to essentially just be gays and lesbians, then it grew to LGBT. Eventually Q was added to be more inclusive. Then more and longer initialisms kept sprouting up to the point it became unwieldy to remember the letters, let alone what they meant. Eventually they threw their hands up and put a + on the end to account for everything not specifically mentioned. It's actually one of the more reasonable things they've done.

>>16857777
the word you're looking for is "like"

>>16865801
>More reasonable
So it is reasonable for them to have a catch-all built into the term for people who don't align with lesbian, bi, gay, tranny. They picked Q for queer to mean anything that doesn't fit into those categories but is also not straight/heterosexual. Then people started making up sexes like "I am a dude who likes dicks in his butt and mouth, but I am not gay. Also I do not identify as queer BTW" so they needed another acronym. As + is a symbol rather than a letter they will have a harder time saying they don't fit into the category, I hope.

Automats disappeared due to a combination of fast food, inflation, and shifting population trends. You've got to keep in mind they're basically a cafeteria with the serving format of a vending machine.

You mean non-whites smashing and grabbing from the machines

I'm actually thinking a salad bar might be how I'd set it up. So the customer can make the salad as they like and when they get to the front they then get their soup and breadsticks. This way it might also be easier to keep track of what greens and vegetables and toppings and sauces are actually popular so there is more flexibility to ordering. I'm not finding good data in regards to food waste with bar set ups unfortunately. I'm now thinking this self serve style might be a good idea *in general* and can reduce cost spent on labor. In this case then the order is different where you pay for what you want first, get your cutlery and plate and then go and self serve yourself your soup and salad (no self serve breadsticks but you can maybe mix up your desired dipping oils). I say salad bar because I don't think most people are actually that sophisticated with their salads and couldn't articulate what their ideal salad is without seeing the stuff in front of them. I've had some amazing Asian salads for instance but I wouldn't have necessarily thought to put these things together and I don't think I'm that unusual. So the salad bar can seem more approachable to nitwits and midwits like me. We could perhaps put up some signage with recommended combos but I think most people will make basic salads and will only get fancy with the dressings and toppings. I think a lot of people enjoy this kind of thing too even if they are volunteering their labor. Think of Korean bbq for example. In this way the SSB restaurant has an interesting brand identity in the customer's eyes. It isn't a regular eatery its that one place where you make your own salad! This probably wouldn't go over well in the time of coof but in another era.

Leek and Potato sounds good. So does the Pasta Fagioli. It would be a good way to get an extra soup in without buying a bunch of unrelated ingredients.

Early McDonald’s-style fast food, where there are only 2-3 options on the menu and no indoor seating. Except instead of burgers, it’s bongoloid street food like pies and pasties.

>library coffee shop thing
I don't get this. I like reading, I like coffee shops, but besides looking nice it doesn't really seem like a useful thing. I bring my own book to coffee shops and if I didn't I probably wasn't looking to read any how. Bookshop coffee shop maybe

>>16868384
Better off just having a coffee shop with a nook off to the side with comfy chairs where customers can read their own books.

My own ouzeri on the sea (Greek tapas style tavern that offers mainly seafood with ouzo/beer or wine) in a village, working my ass off from spring till the start of October and then chill for the slow months with the locals drinking spirits and eating awsome seafood.

>>16869345
That sounds fantastic, I've got to get to Greece sometime soon

Stay strong. Look into Yelp and Google my business

Lots of bookstore chains opened up interior coffeeshops (the coffeeshops often being more profitable). Japanese manga-kissa are a similar type of business but the interiors tend not to look so cute and cozy. You pay for the time you are there and the type of seating accommodation you want. I'm not sure it can take off in the US by comparison because Japanese zoning and real estate has unique peculiarities that allow places like this to make enough profit to survive, and the often cramped living conditions means it is worthwhile for people to choose to spend time there.

I would be a fast food place that offered up nearly identical versions of fan favorites and seasonal items that other restaurants have cancelled or don't offer full time. You can have your naked chicken chalupa, 7 layer Burrito, McPizza, McRib etc. any day of the year.

man, i have so many ideas, and some of them are not really ideas but just "that would be nice"

it'd be nice to have an old school diner -- a greasy spoon

something like waffle house with flat top grills and some burners with giant cauldrons of simmering chili and the soup of the day (for example, a vegetable soup heavy on the tomato juice and ground beef)

but i think what i would like the most is to run a small grocery store or gas station that also has a hot plate that's changes based on the day of the week. stuff like meatloaf wednesdays, fried catfish fridays, sunday chicken dinner, monday fried pork chop's with red beans and rice...

it'd also be the meat and deli meat counter

probably a little self-sufficient noodle stand like you see on the streets of Japan

>>16873981
I think that form factor is traditionally called a Delicatessen.
half grocery store half prepared deli/restaurant.

An Italian deli inside of a cave lit by torches. Meat hanging from the ceiling everywhere, making my own cheese and growing weird ass mushrooms deep inside the cave.

combining french and chinese cooking in a tasting menu

I serve you delicious slop full of MSG and addictive spices, but on a bowl in the floor. You are encouraged to eat on you legs like a pig.
It will be a "fun" experience and I will be laughing in the back looking at the soyboys taking pics of themselves eating like cattle.

The 2nd one is a pretty prolific member of the Lolita comm known for fantastic coords and is a dude. There may be one or two others in back but he's for sure.

Japanese and Southern, focused on Donburi; Deep South Donburi.

Both cultures have a shared respect for using fresh, local ingredients that may be unorthodox, but they're tasty. Also the idea of everything perfected in a single bowl for a single dish is lovely.

>>16856164
Something casual but a bit modern with some plants and greenery serving Mid Atlantic and German style food since I grew up with that.

Some Scrapple and pork roll breakfast sandwichs for pick up in the mornings. Opening up the resturant fully for lunch and dinner with some Pit Beef, Crab dishes, and Roast Pork sandwiches for the locals while leaning into German cuisine for the rest of the menu

>>16859775
Good thing for that anon, fast food places are no longer fast.
