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.

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. 
Oh...Monica!

"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.

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.
Maybe "Barack" should give tax breaks to small businesses instead of going on "The View" and proposing ridiculous health care reform?

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.


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

Here is the menu...looks good

http://www.musclemakergrill.com/menu/general.php

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.

"Muscle Maker Grill".  Hah, why not just call it what the general public will be thinking "You must be this big to enter". 

Preys on a lot of insecurity.

yes alot of guys nowdays they dont build a base before they go on drugs..or they go to high dose too fast and with too many compounds...everything needs to be like a pyramid thats when you get best results
