Another Practical "Toolbox" Workshop Brought to You by SCORE-Richmond in Partnership with the U.S. Small Business Administration

- Is owning a restaurant right for you?
- Buy existing, buy a franchise, start a new concept
- Why some restaurants make it and others don’t
- Financial and people resources to get started
- Creating a practical restaurant business plan
- What it takes to sustain a profitable restaurant
