Nicky's on Soi Buakhou since 2004, is popular, foreign owners. It'd be heart breaking at times, putting up with the many moaning, miserable foreigners. Lots of hard work, I think you are too lazy. 1 2

Gsxrnz Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago I'm going to a foreign country to open a restaurant. I mean, I can't speak or read the language, have never owned or managed a business before in my country. In fact I've always been an employee and never had to worry about budgets, cashflow forecasts, working capital, tax regulations, local authority regulations, business licences, property leases, lazy and light-fingered employees, inventory management, unreliable suppliers, accounts payable, quality control etc.. Actually, beyond bacon and eggs standard, cooking is somewhat of a mystery to me. It should be a breeze. Signed by 129,423 former foreign Pattaya restaurant and bar owners. 1

If you do not have experience in the food industry, you will not survive. Tight margins, a lot of labor and fickle clients. Way too much to pick up on the job. The visa requirements just make it worse.
Jeff the Chef Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Have run a few pub restaurants and eateries in the UK, did ok in some rubbish in others, my advise, if you think it's easy, forget it, worry, stress, competition and finance will send you to an early grave. 1
Yagoda Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago To run a diner in the USA, you need hairy knuckles, no offense to my Greek or Italian brethren. 1
Jeff the Chef Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago I know the places you've seen in Pattaya, all looking busy and successful, which the well established ones probably are, but only after years of hard graft. The Thai rules of business for expats, employment laws would be another factor to consider. I'm a fan of Cheap Charlies IMHO they do a good job on service and food and I've often sat there after a meal day dreaming, thinking I could have done that better, then reality steps in, it's a tough business not for the feint hearted. 1

GammaGlobulin Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago If one is planning to run a diner, then one must first move to NYC, where true Diners still exist, even though they are quickly becoming extinct, unfortunately.

Animals attracted to bitter things died and those that were attracted to sweet things lived long enough to breed.
