WTF, I don't get it.
Mid summer here WTF burgers opened up on the malecon. They were adjacent to and using the kitchen of Palermo restaurant. We drove by yesterday and
they are gone, vaporized. Their burger were excellent albeit pricy. How can someone open a place and not make it thru at least one "high season"
cycle? This is not an unique example here in La Paz. It happens a lot. I would think they had enough reserve to give it a try for a year? I don't
get it.
Every beautiful beach in the world needs a few condo towers - NOT.

I believe; top three reasons why a business closes. 1. Not enough money coming in, 2. Not enough money coming in. 3. Not enough money coming in.
I'm not an expert but I've heard a new business owner should start with enough money to let the business grow long enough until it starts making
money.

And..... you can only get so much money for a burger, no matter how good it is.
The Shack's burgers are very good and if you order one in the 8 to 9 dollar range you get enough for 2 people. Now that's the way to do business. Go

Why businesses fail
1. No customer base survey
2. No site survey
3. No business plan
4. Trusting your managers and employees
5. Trusting your vendors
6. No consistency in product or service
7. Absentee ownership
8. Indifferent employees

Although partially true, the number one reason a restaurant closes is lack of customer service.

I agree with Udo but would add perceived value as well. I don't mind spending 9 bucks on a burger if it's a 9 dollar burger. Perception is reality.

I was in the restaurant/bar business most of my life, either as a manager or an owner.
As an owner, being short on capital can do you in in a hurry, a fact I'm very familiar with
And it takes time to establish a new business and attract repeat customers, whom you need to survive.
And than, the most important trick in this business is to have the right help.
They can make or break you, another fact I'm familiar with.
