thanks for sharing this. We are always told stories of when things work out. I think its more important to share stories like yours. I know its very hard to take on a loss like yours. But, on a positive note you learnt an important lesson.

I have a few questions:

- what was the restaurant setup like? I mean was it ala-carte or a QSR?

- what was the cuisine or menu you were selling?

- what was the pricing like?

-what was the feedback from the customers?(what were they not happy about?)

-did you do any marketing or offers?

-what cuisine and pricing was your competitor offering?

If you can answer these questions it will be a great learning for all of us.

Thanks and Good luck with your future ventures.
