The 24-7 thing doesn't scare me. For the past 10 years, I have had a job that has me working or thinking about work non-stop. As long as my phone is on, I am working. I just figured that sort of thing was life if you want to do anything rewarding. I figure at least this way, I own my own labour and have some creative control.

It sounds very much like you've made your decision and you're just looking for people to justify the choice you've already made.
It also sounds like you're really excited about this, have done a lot of thinking about it and are pretty emotionally committed. I remain steadfast in my belief that it's a bad idea, but I don't think anyone here is going to talk you out of it.
Therefore, good luck. I strongly recommend reading a book called "The E Myth Revisited" about small-business ownership. It's primarily concerned with how to develop systems to make your life easier. That's going to be the big thing, figuring out systems that work for you. The more well-built your systems are, the easier it will be to 'plug-and-play' employees in their roles. Also, the more smoothly, efficiently, and profitably your business will run.
Systems will be everything from which POS-system you choose, to where the microwave should be placed to allow maximum efficiency, to whether servers pull their own beer or if the bartender does it every time regardless, or if it depends on how busy you are at that moment.
I hope it works out for you.
