I am considering setting up a cafe in a Dublin suburb. I am currently in marketing; I have some "bar/hotel" experience from my college days ;-) but no management experience, or experience of running my own business.
I am in the process of preparing a Business plan etc and am giving myself 18months- 2 years to start up.
In the meantime, would it be worth my while to quit my current job and work in a coffee shop/restaurant and try to get some management experience or do you think I will learn it along the way in 1) preparing my business plan comprehensively 2) trial and error once I've set up (looks worried).
I know the answer is probably the former but I worry as to how I will survive financially if I do this...
Any suggestions?
