Looking to learn and grow

[Angela H.]

Hey everyone!

I am currently working a full time job, and go to school part time. I have joined this site because one day I hope to open my own business, and would like to learn as much as I can before taking the dive into starting my own business.

Welcome, Angela!!

Thanks guys. I plan on opening a food and beverage establishment. I am not sure if I want to open a brand new restaurant, buy an old one or go through a franchise. So I am completely up in the air with this. This is why I have joined this forum to learn and get advice from others.

My mom owned a fast food chain (and her two brothers still owe fast food restaurants). It's a tough biz, but can definitely be lucrative.

I just told another new member to check out Rory Fatt (Rory Fatt (http://www.RoryFatt.com)). He's a restaurant marketer.

Best of Luck!

Thank you, I will check it out.

I put myself as a Director of the company and uupon registering i said i would employ 1 person. Can i be the Director and also put myself as the only employee on payroll? my helper wants to get paid in cash and I only receive cheques. How would i go about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.pon registering i said i would employ 1 person.
