a restaurant?? In Germany, we have a saying that goes "Wer nichts wird, wird Wirt", that means people that achieve nothing in life open up bars or restaurants.

anyway, Vic doesn't really have to do anything, So if its a success he can just sit on his ass and let the money come in.

how long before he charges everyone for food and then closes before their server brings it?
BTW...that will fail...most reg people (with money) will stay away...not mainstream and a very stupid idea...then again, look who is involved.

is that why there are so many alcoholics in germany?
-
It's not saying people that open up restaurants have no success, if you're a cook it's fine, but when you know nothing about restaurants, it's stupid.
People tend to believe that owning a restaurant is easy cash, and that's far from true. Just check out how many restaurants close after a few months, it's incredible.
Having a good going restaurant over a few years is far more difficult than having a supplement company for example.
is that why there are so many alcoholics in germany?
Yes. ::) ::)

i think its never a good thing to have the word muscle in it since it could exclude a group of customers, keep it at "health" or something lol
-
most likely will fail as the word Muscle is associated with it, Mum's and Dad's would never take the family out if there is a chance a bunch of roided up losers will be there, Muscle Maker grill will be shut before christmas.
P.S when word spreads that he took gym members money right up to shutting the doors he will be over by October.

Very true, but is there enough of them in the region to support it week in and week out..
see what i mean, why would a father/mother take there family out to a place that has guido's/MMA and other assorted characters that experiment with illegal hormones..
should of called it Vic's Grill or something, that would of attracted all types of customers, not just the loser ones.

Absolutely, what does Victor know about taxes, law, even laws associated with the health department.
Sounds like he has a few business partners, they think his "Celebrity" will make them a profit..lol, bankrupt motherfuckers...

It's a chain restraunt. There are some in different cities. I don't think it's a bad buisness plan. I think if they have decent food at fair prices, not to mention a large variety of dishes on the HEALTHY side -vs- the alternative of beef sandwiches and fires or pizza I think it will be successful.
The MUSCLE part could make the average hungry phag walking by think the food is injected with steroids and he'll keep walking anyway.
Most restraunts stay live and well due to word of mouth. "You know that new place over at so and so...yea, I went there for lunch today. Not bad! I had a great platter of grilled chicken with this good seasoning and some long grain wild rice with steamed vegetables on the side. Yea...it was good and it was like $8. You gotta check it out! "
If they can estalish that then they're golden. I doubt Victor owns it or has a piece in it. I bet it was more like... you can eat here for free if you make an appearence here once in a while and send over as many people as you can.
Remember: Pro bodybuilders 9 out of 10 times work for FREE if they feel like they are getting a perk out of it.
- Block!

Yeah, the restaurant business ain't no joke.
Restaurant startups consistently have one of the highest failure rates among small businesses.
I don't know his situation, but I highly doubt he's the principle owner.
Nevertheless, good luck with it.
-
6 months tops..then it is shut down by the board of health for serving expired whey gourmet shakes..and 6 year old creatine.
-
So lets get this right..
Victor had a gym and it went bust..right?
Victor had a gym a few years back. They were taking year long gym memberships right up until closing the doors.
Its vague, but I believe there may have been blame levelled at the partners.

guy was/is sponsored by them. i could see chain carry him with <50K upfront as a minority/ethnic owner 50/50 of a unit . looks good with 17-20 in opertion with 10 more on the way. nice menu. hate filled b###### on here cant stand to see someone have a little success. i dont think it's one of the all you can eat deals shawn ray had with sizzler.

Good job, he's taking a risk opening up a restaurant in a recession, and on top of that 57-61% of all restaurants fail within 4 years of opening. He would have been more wise to take the $400,000 loan him and his business partner spent on the restaurant, and opened a supplement store, or gym. As those are businesses that are actually doing better right now. I really think he should have opened a supplement store.
-
Supplement stores are a dying venture. Internet is killing them. Maybe its different in Dubai, India.
I wish Victor all the best but restaurant is one tough business. It's one of those businesses where you gotta be there all hours that its open or your profits go right out the front door and the back door.
-

Not if you have a big name behind the supplement store, i honestly don't think this kind of restaurant will have a wide enough appeal to people in general to keep it busy enough. It also depends on its location, ie if its close to a gym etc kind of like the firehouse is in Venice Beach Cali.
-
firehouse is a much better kind of name also

I agree with you on the restaurant's appeal. And restaurant biz is hard fucking work and long hours. It's not the type of biz you can be an absentee owner.

exactly and im assuming Vic wants to be an absentee owner, and if he's not watching over the books shit can go down hill fast.

good food with pricing scale similar to fastfood joints. they are expanding so i'd say biz is ok for their units. also...food suppliers are a key. i wouldnt touch a sup store. now...that's a kiss of death. if he did take a 400K loan he might have done better with 2 national chains. i just dont care for the name. that's where the sell is hard to a mixed/large crowd.
-
"muscle" word in the name = instantly a lot lot of people who WONT GO IN.
if they focus on "healthy" food with lot of proteins salads and few carbs/fats, why not give a smarter name like "fitfood" or "fitfast" etc
-
it looks like vic thinks that the east coast could support its own version of the fire house, i suppose time will tell..................bu t across the street from golds gym in venice seems like a more romantisized location then, some place in jersey city, or wherever it is.
alot of times, gimmicky places like this are fast out of the gate, but have trouble maintaining a steady following week-in, week-out.......
also, anyone else think victor really is not all that affected by his sisters murder, i mean there were alot of kids in his family, sometimes in families of that size, all siblings are not that close.................im not saying he doesnt care, but the media is portraying him as the angry brother, because he has ssome name recognition............. they were like "he didnt fly down to the dominican republic for the funeral because the suspect was not yet in custody".....................BUL LSHIT.....
he didnt fly down to the dominican republic for the funeral:
1) it would get in the way of his regimented olympia prep
2) with his "muscle maker grill" grand opening in a few days, he couldnt be troubled with mundane obligations like a murdered sisters funeral.
3) once again.......olympia prep.........that is four or five days where he might have had to miss his daily injections, he might have been able to sneak a few winny tabs or a shot or two of sust on the airline..........but no way could he have fouind a way to stealthily transpost the cornicpoia of drugs he ingests daily to south america and back.

That restaurant has a supplement store in it as well. All MM Grills has a full line of supplements so actually it may not be a bad business investment. However, a number of restaurants do fail within a few years so we'll see how it goes

Looks great. And just because a lot of restaurants fail doesn't mean this particular one will - it all depends on how it's marketed. The fact that it's different than the majority of restaurants would give it an edge as long as they spin it properly to public with the marketing.

who would actually go to a place like this? Usually shit with high protein and healthy shit isn't that tasteful, if I go out to eat I am not going to some place that serves healthy food, hence going out to eat.

Agree that it's never going to compete with a mainstream name or franchise, but if the food tastes good, then it will definitely have it's own niche market. Just because something is healthy doesn't mean it has to taste lousy. It all depends on how they market it.

its just like beginning a hardcore gym. if your passion is totally in it. ok nice. but if you want to make a profit youre not getting away with such a thing. then you should go for fit and health spa's with escalators on the front to lead you in.
