If you do food stick to the well known franchises.
Restaurant biz is very hard work and long hours from everyone I've known that's done it. You got to have good managers if you don't want to work it yourself.
Marc De is big into restaurants.
I think the new trend is cafeteria style. They just opened one in this area and the place is packed solid lunch and dinner. $8.95 all you can eat and they even give you steaks at that price which is amazing. You have to work on volume so location is critical.
Vending can be a good side biz. I know a few guys that have done well with that. But location is everything and the prime spots are spoken for already.
My cousin was married to a girl whose father owns 50 car washes. Those do real well and lots of cash cash.
I have another friend that's buying casino ships right now. The projections look pretty sweet. Got to invest heavy in initial marketing to get your regular customers. Good for a tourist area also.
