Like Tony said, typical American hand food.

Frosty
02-24-2009, 04:48 PM
Another thing to consider too...try to come up with some type of signature sammich or dish....be known for something. I'm not familiar with your area so I'm not sure what competition there is. Try to scope out local places...see what kind of things they offer...maybe offer something different? A few car shows I've gone to at a bar/grille type place had some good seafood stuff(little neck clams, muscles, shrimp, not everyone wants a burger all the time). God I sound like Gordon Ramsey lol

I think it's great that you're doing that, it's actually one of my dreams to open up a place but unfortunately I can't be on my feet all day to cook and/or run a place like that.

BUFFALO WINGS...with GOOD HOT SAUCE...!!!!!!!! if i had a dollar everytime i ordered BUFFALO wings, and could barely taste any spice/hotness...i would be a goddamn millionaire!!

seriously though....'Franks Red Hot' Sauce, cant go wrong. i would also reccomend BEER if you get a liquor license..

and i agree with whoever said hot girls as waitresses. everyone likes a good meal served by a nice piece of ---, with good looking cars to check out to boot!

Presuming you've read Guy Fieri's, Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Most of the successful places in that book do things in a unique or personalized way- even if they offer typical diner fare. In an area like Lambertville, you should probably have a menu that appeals to local tastes (locals will be your profit base) as well a secondary menu theme that offers a new twist on the traditional diner standbys. Well prepared food in good sized portions will get the most notice in a new restaurant. Price your menu items realistically (good price to quality ratio). Make sure the food is prepared in a consistent manner and served fresh and hot. Train your kitchen and service staff thoroughly. They're your direct links with the public. Good luck.

This is good advice, and is why places like Rutt's Hut, Hot Dog Johnny's, and some other roadside places always seem to do well.

I am not a fan of the quality of food found at many drive-in/ car places. This is simply b/c good food cost $ and car places are known to have cheap food. In any event, I love a good chilli dog w/ beef hot dog. Leo's in Hackettsown has the best so far and I have had many. A hambuger that taste like a hamburger.

word to the wise before opening any new business in this economy, have enough money set aside to pay for a full 9-12 months of bills and operating costs before you even think of opening the doors. Tons of people may say it's a cool idea and that they'll come down, but even frequent customers might come once a week, most once a month or less. If they spend $10 each time think how many people you need to draw in to even break even, forgetting about a profit.

Good luck, but don't jump into a new business, especially in the food industry, blindly. Talk to lawyers, accountants, make up spreadsheets and budget everything out.

Also think about new fire code laws. If this place that you're gettig is an old diner, you may end up paying $20k in fire suppression alone before you can open the doors.

I'm glad someone else sees what I see. This doesn't look like a very well thought out plan. What I've seen so far is someone who thinks it'd be cool to open a business without having a business plan set up or any thoughts on what to do when the initial plan doesn't work.

Have you gotten your federal tax ID number yet? Set up bank accounts and gotten a merchant service to accep credit and debit cards? Is your business going to be a sole proprietorship, LLC, or corporation? Have you scheduled to have the health inspector come? Do you have distributors for all the food as well as initial SOPs set up? If you don't even know what kind of food to serve, I have doubts as to whether that's already happened.

I don't mean to rain on your parade but I know firsthand how hard it is to open a new business. I have kept 2 other jobs just to keep mine going and keep bills paid, as well as given up my own apartment and moved in with family just to stay financially afloat.

I have another business that has been succesfull now for 10 years(Yes i am hurting from the economy). I am fully aware of the risk's associated in business and i am prepared as well. I have my menu and was just trying to get everyone involved. Im pretty sure that sharing my whole business plan and banking information would not be so interesting for everyone and not in my best interest.

The first two quoted were OBVIOUSLY not written by the same person as the last. What I see in the first two quotes is a kid who came up with an idea and hasn't thought it through at all. From what I recall, the OP here is in his early 20s? Did you start a business when you were 12?

Come on. There's no need to send in reinforcements when someones pushes a little bit of reality in your face. Who's the 2nd poster? Your dad? If so, that makes sense, and at least brings some experience into the equation. How do I know it's two separate people? It's pretty simple. There are no lols or abbreviations and punctuation is miraculously used properly.

I didn't assume anything more than you told us; that you were a kid trying to start a business based off a good idea but didn't know were to start. No where in there did I say you were a moron, even though I see you erased that part after mike replied that I'm just being constructive. I'm not trying to deter anyone from doing anything, just trying to bring the visions of grandeur down to realistic levels.

For the record when i am speaking freely in the forum i am going to write differently then when i am doing lets say "business". When you made your comment i was taken back by your accusations that i turned into business mode. I am not being unrealistic either, i understand that its going to be very hard but i found an opportunity in a troubled economy and i am going to atleast try. Like is said i was just getting everyone involved is all!!!!!! You really think i would open a little car themed restaurant if i didn't know what foods to serve? What was i going to serve Juice boxes and fruit snacks??? Maybe make some lemonade! Like i said there's nothing unrealistic that i believe is going to happen, the facts are that i am going to have a hard time maybe for a year or even 3 or 5 but i dont have that long to wait and see. The opportunity arose and if i dont try now the opportunity shall pass. Thats business hun(assuming you female hence the diva in your name) Capitalizing . If you read up on your business ligature you will find that in certain cases this is the best time to open a business if you can stay afloat. Now like i said i appericiate your constructive concern and if there is anything i might need help with i will contact you asap.

There are some things that are NOT copyrightable. Titles/headlines are one of them, now the question was is the name of the car considered a title?

That is not a copyright case per se, it's a trademark they are arguing about. Now if "Camaro" was trademarked by GM (I have no Idea if it is) and OP used it to infringe than yea he would get the short end of the stick. Let's say he wanted to name his fries "apple" fries. Would he get sued by Apple for using the word "apple" in his menu, unlikely. What if he put their trademark next to the name of fries (the apple logo). He would no doubt get sued by Apple. Trademarks are not the same as copyrights. Although in that case it sure seemed like they were.

If anyone is interested enough I can ask an Intellectual Property Lawyer about this. But I doubt anyone cares enough.

Ford went after the black mustang club a while ago for simply using pictures of mustangs in a calender, just as we do. Do you really think they would not go after a successful business making money off of its copyrighted car names?

Logos are copyrighted/trademarked. Common words in the dictionary are not.

That is not a copyright case per se, it's a trademark they are arguing about. Now if "Camaro" was trademarked by GM (I have no Idea if it is) and OP used it to infringe than yea he would get the short end of the stick. Let's say he wanted to name his fries "apple" fries. Would he get sued by Apple for using the word "apple" in his menu, unlikely. What if he put their trademark next to the name of fries (the apple logo). He would no doubt get sued by Apple. Trademarks are not the same as copyrights. Although in that case it sure seemed like they were.

If anyone is interested enough I can ask an Intellectual Property Lawyer about this. But I doubt anyone cares enough.

I care.

He said he already had an idea but wanted some input from the population he would be serving

Whoah! Good call, I can't remember the last time I had sloppy joe or tater tots. And I just thought of fried chicken if you know a decent recipe. Really good fried chicken will bring in a crowd! You might need biscuits and gravy to go with it though. :mrgreen:

I have the place on the other end a "Nice" Building not the Chicken Dog lol

I was bored and took a ride up there around lunchtime today....are you moving in to the building that is currently signed as the Golden Nugget Cafe? Or are you just getting a spot in one of the other buildings on the right side?

Get a deep fryer and use it almost exclusively. Anything battered and fried is a good meal!

Showtime, I might suggest visiting other restaurants that are similar to what you want to do. Like Chatter Box Inn up north or the Circus Drive In in Wall (currently closed for winter), as examples.

i already have 90% of my menu complete , i was just trying to see if there was the couple of plates that i might have missed . Like one was fried pickles i might have never incorporated that into my menu, so theres just little things i was looking for . All the other foods are your run of the mill foods that are just expected anyway. I will look at chatter box and circus though

Thanks
