Starting Up, Starting Over - Channel 5 now

[ImperialBlether]

Anyone watching? A lawyer in London gives it all up to open a restaurant in the Lake District. I really hope the woman makes a success of her business, but it's nerve wracking watching it. It doesn't help that her partner is her new boyfriend. Would we advise her to go into business, spending all her money, on a venture with a new boyfriend?!

Why do people open a restaurant when they haven't programmed the till? It's really bad business practice.

Yes I'm watching.

She was a successful lawyer but that doesn't necessarily mean she'll be a great cafe owner, different skills really and no experience.

The new boyfriend said that she had a lot to lose...I wonder if she's paying him a salary or whether they're business partners? Seems like she's paid for it (I'm only watching with half an eye doing other things).

Seems to be successful so far though.

I watched and agree why do they not learn the till and surely you would have a soft open

It's local to me and we aren't exactly short of decent food but seems to be doing ok. V expensive compared to the other places though.

Oh, I didn't see this thread. Just started another

I think the wife is horrible. Bully, abusive, just horrible.
