You better have extreme drive in opening a business. There are huge pay-offs and even more extreme risks. You are investing your life savings in something that may or may not be successful. My parents own a restaurant and it is probably the hardest business to keep going. I personally would not open a business b/c watching my parents wake up at 9 and work till 11 just does not appeal to me. Most restaurants do not make it past the first year. We have been opened for 5 years mostly because my parents worked their ass off, saved, cut corners, and never ever went out or bought things for themselves. Trust me, I worked at my parents multiple restaurants since I was 6 and I hated it. Make sure this is what you absolutely want to do before you dive into it.
The work load slowly goes down as your business gets successful and you can hire more employees. Then you have to worry about people stealing shit from your cash register. I wouldn't expect the work load to go down for the first 3 years. This is all if you make it past the first year..
