The typical owner, that has two yachts, a vacation home and and Lexus can’t afford to pay someone enough to work for him....
So how many people does your business provide a "living wage" for?
None of the independent restaurant owners that I know of live in such luxury. The restaurant business is tough sledding, especially in California. Four of my favorite restaurants closed in recent years because the younger members of the families that owned them wanted to move on to something more lucrative than the restaurant business.
There was a note on the door of a popular Italian sandwich shop that closed which blamed the failure of the business on California's anti-business climate. A fast-food chain now owns the building.
Is this sarcasm or are you really this foolish?
Very few people who own a Fast food franchise can afford that kind of lifestyle. Maybe if you own a whole string but most own one or two.
Fantasy, look at the business profit margins before and after, not everyone starts out as Shaq at papas
I know of three people that own or owned restaurants. All were successful, but none owned “two yachts, a vacation home, etc....” The hours you put in to operate a restaurant is very very long. As someone said, “you get rich working at minimum wage.” One guy who owns successful hot dog stands told me that he now works fifty hours a week and he considers himself to be semi-retired.
