Hi, I love this group! I work for a great company called Bidding For Good, located in Boston! One of the cool things we've created is a free web-based donation management tool so if anyone receives a high volume of donation requests from non-profits WE can HELP! :)

I am currently trying to find funding for my BBQ restaurant, my catering business is slow so I decided to open a restaurant. But I am having a hard time finding an investor or a business partner to help me open one up. But I refuse to give up on my dream of owning my own restaurant real soon, Ya'll have a bless and wonderful day.

Thanks to everyone for joining up. I'm involved in a startup in Portland OR as Exec Chef. It's my tenth gig as Exec. I've got a goal to bring in a kitchen for less than $10K - which is a significant challenge and will involve rehabbing used resto equipment.

About ten years ago I took a 2 year sabbatical from the hospitality industry and studied architecture and interior design at Boston Architectural Center - their program also requires you work full-time for a design firm. I spent about 2.5 years with a one hundred old/sixty person Boston based firm, primarily in their construction administration department.

I'm very intrigued with startups, having participated in four over my career. Interested in not only the managerial execution, but also the design and construction, with green and sustainable focuses.

Again, thanks to everyone for joining up. I'll be journaling the current startup experience over at Savant Culinaire blog.

Starting out in any economy is difficult, let alone what we are going through right now.But given the right support and direction start ups can be successful even these days. This is a great support group. I am excited to help in anyway.

This is a tough time for start ups. Thank you for offering some services.

Hello...
This should be fun!
I was the FOH lead trainer for over 20-new unit openings around the USA. These were both brand new units and "take-over" properties (and staff), I have also experienced new openings as a new hire hourly employee!

Hi Jeffrey,

I'm founding editor of Restaurant Startup & Growth (www.restaurantowner.com), a monthly nationally circulated magazine for independent operators in the startup and growth phase (approx. 50,000 circulation). Thanks for inviting me into the group.
