Hi Everyone,

I am a Venezuelan Engineer who have a dream since college. I want to start my own Restaurant in USA, I am not a Chef, I just like to cook, grew up in an Italian Family. Because I don't know anything about this business, I quit to my Engineer Job and worked in a Thai Restaurant in different position to learn some how to run a kitchen and to serve on the front. My Restaurant will serve a South American fusion so I contact a Chef from Venezuela whit a few years experience to help me to make the menu and came over to USA to train the staff. I have to pay her the fly ticket and the accommodation the time she will be over helping me. I don't have Idea how much will be a reasonable payment for her job, I just want to have an estimate from you guys to know how much I should offer her. I will appreciate any advance from you, about to open a new restaurant and cost since I plan to rent a not running restaurant.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Vic Cardenas,

Thanks for your advices, I am looking for a location in a good growing up area in Pittsburgh, there is a great companies setting there, bringing new employees around 30 years old to the area. My vision of the restaurant is to offer the flavors from some South American food, presented in a artistic way. I saw that concept in Miami a few month ago and I like it. Peruvian food is one of my goals in my restaurant. Ceviche, green rice, Causa between others. I have faith in my concept, but as a new in the business I am a bit afraid for the risk. Any Advice you can give me for the opening and success of a Restaurant I will appreciate a lot.

Thanks and Regards,

Jann Gopi
