Quite seriously, I'd just open up a proper pub in Oregon. You got one bitter, two ales, and a stout, a small selection of Scotch and gin, and the food is bland and greasy as hell. And there's always HP and Branston available.

Oh, and a fucking full breakfast would be a fucking full breakfast. I went to a "pub" where it didn't even have black pudding! WHAT THE HELL!

Sorry to say, the bowling is only an attraction to get people in the building. The bigass arcade section, minigolf, bar, lasertag, and food are what bring in the revenue.

The bowling revenue share is very paltry, is the mechanic pay and funds to replace parts constantly are what keep it from even breaking even. Bowling alleys don't make shit these days when all they have to offer is bowling. If they do, they have inexperienced mechanics, badly maintained lanes, and it's generally a shithole. I mean, the AMF that's near me that competes with my place pays their mechanics $7 less per hour, and it shows.

You're over thinking this like most people do these days with what should be a simple concept.

I'd get make it a Chinese, and get the best chefs and source the highest quality meat possible. I would spend a lot on making the restaurant look spectacular but still comfy and practical.

My most unique USP would probably just be that I won't charge extortionate amounts for a meal. Unless it's Kobe beef or something like that.

Tough question. If it has to be completely new I'd probably spend ~$50,000-$100,000 on RND to examine trends in what people eat and up and coming food trends. Forecasting the climate would be difficult as there are more food options than ever, people looking for food fusions that are multicultural, all these health fads that grow and die in the span of months.
Location/food matching would be everything; you can't set up a greasy burger place in Vermont and you can't set up a Whole Foods in Mississippi. I'm thinking seafood in New England, cheap oysters and flowing alcohol as rich people look to the health benefits of fish and poor people go for the cheap oysters and beer.

Barring all that, I'd open a Subway as they are extremely profitable no matter where you go. I'm in Boston and you would not believe how many Subways, Starbucks, and McDonald's there are, at least one every block.

Some of the Ideas in this thread are pretty outrageous.

Mine would be a military canteen/mess hall/officers club/sports bar

All doors would be from deactivated submarines, the tables and chairs would all bethose stupid fucking pelican foldout office desks. Booths would be made from pelican trunks and all feature radios for instant waitress communication. The walls would be lined with gun racks like an armoury but fitted with deactivated m4s or bolt less m4s behind bulletproof glass. Tank shells and various militaria would line the walls such as deactivated 1919s and the centrepiece over the bar would be a ma duece m2.

Waitresses would be in skimpy hooters like army fitness wear with the t shirt just a little too tight. Although they would wear bump helmets and comms to jack into the tables they serve.

If serve the kinda shit you see on guy fierys show mostly tasty drunken American meme food. I'd offer a veterans discount but not for pogues. Stolen valor wall of shame optional.

Open a powerlifter/keto oriented restaurant aimed at athletes and gym-goers who are sick of small portions, low protein content, and so forth.

Allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.

Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

Ramen shop using a ticket machine and all bar seating.

get your tickets. sit a your stool. press the call button. wait staff gets your tickets. a few minutes later you get your ramen, rice, gyoza, drink, etc.

If you want more you can order it by using provided pen to circle items on chop stick wrapper menu. press call button and have money ready. wait staff comes gets wrapper and money. comes back to deliver food/drink items and change.

each stool would have sort of private booth. divider walls between customers. a curtain in front of you. Just a narrow open walk path behind you. just two rows of seating in a narrow single room. in between the rows is the work area for the wait staff. Which you can't see into expect when the move your curtain to get and deliver your stuff. One end is the entrance and ticket machines. Other end is a kitchen that is open to the center area between rows of seating. you can't see into the kitchen either.

paper napkin dispensers on the wall behind you. placed in between stools so you can reach one from either side. each mini booth will have a pull tap to dispense cold drinking water. there will also be a stack of clean drinking glasses up and out of the way for you to use. each mini booth will also have a small container of bamboo chop sticks in paper wrappers. the chop stick bin will also have an ink pen in it. So you can use it to circle items to order on the paper wrapper to the chop sticks. little electronic call button in the mini booth also. If you don't press the button then no one will come by to wait on you.

there will be a small initial paper order form. you will circle how hot you want it. how fatty the broth is. how you want the noodles cooked. how much green onion.

for those that know their ramen. yes I'm talking about opening an Ichiran Ramen.

Make a restaurant somewhere in the outskirts of Paris where I serve food exclusively on the paintings of my customers. It can be theirs or someone else's, as long as they bring the painting. The quality of food will increase alongside the quality of the art piece. The technique and style of the painting will also reflect in the food where Dali would get you some gastrobub 2000 gold dog shit, and Francis Bacon will get you some fucking steak.

SO I'll advertise this shit around all the art museums and get like some controversy from people who like art and food and shit. People will instantly be interested and the wait list will grow for my opening day.

Then I take the painting, serve them the food, and they leave the painting with me. Little do they know that I poison all of my food and who the fuck except rich assholes eat off a painting? I'll sell the painting for 10 times the price on the market and make a shitload of money(since dead artists sell better) because lets be honest you faggots know none of you will still be here after a year.

All you can Eat Yakiniku.

I went to a couple places like this in Japan.

Tables have round gas grills built into them. All the meats are kept at a central location in refrigerated shelves. There is also standard buffet bars containing veggies, rice, plates, trays, and non alcoholic drink fountains. You pay by the time you are there. In 60 or 90 minute time blocks.

You sit down. Someone from the wait staff will come by and get head count for your table and take alcohol drink orders. then your time officially starts. You can go up and get little pre cut chunks of raw chilled meat and other food items. Take them back to your table and cook them over the built in grill. You'll have chop sticks and little saucers of dipping sauces. Meat pieces cook quickly since they are small, thin, and over a high flame.

If this can work in Japan with most imported meat and a population that doesn't eat as much meat compared to the west. Then it can surely work in NAmerica and Europe.

peasant food is the basis of fine dining.

when you don't have good cuts of meat. You have to find ways to make what you do have to eat palatable. Adding in lots of herbs and veggies to add flavor and texture. slow cooking or grinding to break down the tough bits.

Lobster as of the early 20th century was considered poor people food. The servants of rich yankees living on the coast used to eat it a lot. Since you could just put some baskets in the water right off a beach. The rich people they worked for wouldn't even touch it for the longest time.

Similar to what this guy is doing. More variety in food though. I'd do more than pub food but do a setting and atmosphere with pub elements.

And I'd make house beers. A bar I just got hired at does brewing and serves their own beers alongside the kegs they order. I've liked all of theirs I've had so far. I fell in love with the idea because of this place.

you can't even do anything as a customer to give your self food poisoning at a yakiniku place. unless you just sit there for hours letting the meat be at room temperature. then eat it raw.

the risk is in the prep cooks, kitchen, and meat buffet not being sanitary. Which is an employee vigilance issue.

Girls wear pink Chuck Taylor's, boys wear sky blue. Everyone required to wear Wayfarers at all times. All staff required to speak in Valley Girl dialect if girls when speaking with customers, Surfer Dude dialect if male.

Foreign cuisine restaurants.
I'd attempt to start a brand, and own the number one place to go to try foreign foods.
Pretty much they will open all around the world with different styles to each one...
>Mexican
>Japanese
>French
>Italian
>English
>Spanish
>Chinese
>Indian

Of course you'd never find a Japanese one open in Japan, they would be located around the world for people to try that countries cuisine, and possibly have some sort of stereotypical style that is highly offensive to the people of that country. Food would be affordable, and close to along the lines of fast food but sticking as close as it can to said countries cuisine.
