Focus breh.
You are already setting yourself up to fail by doing too much.
I agree...FOCUS. When I lived in Rochester, I knew a breh who owned a couple of sports bars and a liquor store. The liquor store was so easy and steady he let his daughter run it. The sports bars stayed having problems from bad customers, bad employees, to regulations. They can be hard businesses to run.
Restaurants are management intensive so you need to be there all the time and even on off times to receive in food, liquor, do inventory, do books, etc. I run a food manufacturing business and I also warn you to be on top of health regulations and train your employees in them well. I pass my inspections but a lot of local people get hit for improper procedures, malfunctioning equipment, no employee training, etc. Liquor regulations vary too.
Hiring restaurant employees can be a bytch since you need someone not only courteous and hard working but will SHOW UP FOR WORK ON TIME.
I think you know all this since you used to work at a bar. My question for you is
have you written a business plan, defined your customer base, estimated how many seats you will need, and evaluated local competition?
