It is no surprise to find that location is
important to restaurant success, but only
one (failed) owner mentioned location as
being a contributor to his restaurant’s failure.
This particular restaurant was located
upstairs on a busy street near a hospital.
There was no parking nearby, and so customers
had to walk from the hospital.
Though the restaurant was initially successful,
it attracted only walk-in customers.
That example notwithstanding, the consensus
was that a poor location can be overcome
by a great product and operation, but a
good location cannot overcome bad product
or operation
