I agree with what other posters have said. I essentially grew up around restaurants as my family, grandfather, father all ran restaurants for 45+ years in various cities, towns. I also had one for a few years as well, before selling the location to someone.

There is money to be made if done right though, should be able to do 70 percent margins on food for the most part. Though be prepared to put in a lot of time into the business(though that is the same for any startup). Leasing right now is high and tough though in Calgary, so not sure where you are planning to open up shop.
