Also, don't forget to advertise, having a building with a sign up isn't gonna be enough. You need to advertise, radio, internet, whatever. Get your business name in front of people as much as you can. Restaurants are the worst, I realize it's a tough business, but just popping up a building with a big sign simply only sustains them for so long, especially if they are new. Advertise as much as you can afford to

No business cards. No website. No print. No electronic media.

Just a FB page & an Instagram Account. The former is essentially dormant. The latter of which is 70/30 personal/business.
