I keep an eye on their reviews, and more often than not, they end up getting poor feedback. What&#8217;s even more entertaining is that the restaurant owners reply to the bad reviews, and it quickly turns into full-blown arguments, with both sides hurling insults at each other! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s one restaurant in particular where the owner told me he had just moved to Canada and had tons of experience in the restaurant business. A year later, I checked his reviews, and they were all good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turns out, experience really does matter. Unfortunately, in Canada, with all the taxes(theft) and complex regulations, it&#8217;s incredibly difficult to gain solid experience. The margins are so thin that one mistake can cost you your entire business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most restaurants end up failing here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s one spot in particular where the ownership changes every year. The only person making money is the landlord\u2014because the restaurants never seem to last long enough to turn a profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lesson here? Be the landlord. But even better\u2014buy Bitcoin instead. Just imagine having to deal with tenants leaving every year. \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/media.letsfo.com\/image\/experience-is-everything-in-the-restaurant-business.yEft\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.letsfo.com\/images\/2025\/05\/30\/experience-is-everything-in-the-restaurant-business.webp\" alt=\"experience is everything in the restaurant business\" border=\"0\"><\/a>\n<br>\n<br>\n\n\n\n<p>\n    Note ID:\n    <br>\n    <code id=\"nostrNote\" style=\"word-wrap: break-word; white-space: normal;\">note1w5gluth7qv2vpgxkfjks64rxnlq3kw4e40mdvkw89g5vtdegawnsrxv3q3\n    <\/code>\n    <br>\n    <button onclick=\"copyToClipboard('nostrNote')\">Copy<\/button>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/btcpay.letsfo.com\/apps\/cyXxp1RKxQnN8bpQJjvwSEHjXbP\/pos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/images\/zapmar.png\"><\/a>Post#385\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a new restaurant opens, I often go in to check it out, and I&#8217;ve noticed that many of these places are run by first-time<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2812,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/uploader\/images\/2025\/05\/30\/experience-is-everything-in-the-restaurant-business.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[132],"tags":[78,173,507],"class_list":["post-2810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-social-media","tag-canada","tag-entrepreneur","tag-restaurants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2810"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2810\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2811,"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2810\/revisions\/2811"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
