Problems you may face running a chicken fast food restaurant?

I am planning to open a chicken fast food restaurant and i want to know what kind of challenges and obstacles i may face in running such a restaurant on a day to day basis. What kind of items can i put on the menu?

Offer items, types of chicken, sauces, side dishes and other items the main stream KFC, Popeye’s and other now offer, delivery is another thing as it reaches many area not near your operation, as chef I opened several places, not FF but some worked and some did not, it may sound strange to say start out smaller and expand as business grows and demand increases that way your capital is not all sunk into the oversized and not functioning business, also develop recipes and ideas not common to the others. I would spend about $500 and do a market research mailing, send out letter with a small questionnaire to ask about the restaurant, food, hours of service and location, with a stamped return envelop, this way you can gauge the response and how to go forward with the venture.

Which one of these options is best to order from a Thai restaurant?

I’m going out tonight but trying to stay healthy, here are my picks, which one is healthiest and why?

1) Beef Salad- Sliced grilled beef, flavored with spicy lime sauce and mixed with lettuce, tomatoes, mint, green onions, cilantro and cucumber.
2) Yum Yai- Chicken and shrimp, fresh lettuce, onions, cucumber, and tomatoes, tossed with house vinaigrette-dressing and topped with boiled egg and cracked peanuts.
3) Rama Salad- Chicken breast or Tofu, steamed broccoli, spinach, hard-boiled egg and corn kernels topped with peanut sauce and served with jasmine rice.

Or, a stir fry (I’m not entirely sure what "stir fried" entitles but the menu offers a lot of veggies with these options)

Definatly option number 1!

What’s the name of this Orlando seafood restaurant?

I can’t remember the name of this restaurant! It was inside a hotel, and it was across the street from Golden Corral. I can’t even remember the street it was on, although I know it was NOT international Drive, but it WAS relatively close to it. I went down the street a ways and there was a Race Track gas station on the left side. The inside was set up with mainly booths and they had a decent sized buffet for like 28.95, but you could order off the menu. The word "crab" is in the title but I don’t think it was Joe’s crab shack but I could be wrong. I do remember the server giving me a small, metal pale for my crab shells.

Sounds like The Crab House on International Drive. There’s a Golden Corral very close.

Hi, i’m in Bali right now for the next 2 weeks, i am planning to have some dinner at restaurant that providing an indian food.
It would be nice if there is any "real" indian restaurant with maybe indian dance performance or music. My girlfriend love it very much :D .
Thanks for your help and advice :)

Hi there..
I suggest you to try Queens of India at kartika, if you stay around Kuta beach, or Queens Tandoor, located near made’s warung in seminyak. Both are the same food quality and trully indian restaurant with movie (big screen) and music. There is also near bemo corner, Gateway of india, but i dont know, i never try it.. also it is a bit small (really small) place/restaurant i guess.

Are there any AUTHENTIC Chinese restaurants in Waco, TX or surrounding areas?

I want to try new things or feel as if I’m actually experiencing the culture, I don’t want to go to a Chinese Buffet or restaurants that are half American. For example I don’t want to go some where that sells Lo Mein and right next to it there is fried chicken and mashed potatoes. I want to visit a place with nothing less than a 100% Chinese menu.

I find P.F Chang’s China Bistro to be extremely authentic plus higher class foods(with fair pricing) and decor help you really get into the mood. I’m not sure if there are any in your area, but go out and look. It will be well worth it.
