As someone who grew up in a family restaurant business, I miss our restaurants and the food, but would never want to work in the restaurant business again. My dad often talks about how it was his last resort and that he could’ve done anything if he had the opportunities.
Kind of fascinating how a difficult cut-throght, low-margin, “unscalable”, industry isn’t going to go anywhere because we all like to and need to eat.

I manage my parents Thai restaurant. I have 5 other adult siblings and they are all smart enough to have found careers not related to our family business. My parents know I have no desire to continue the restaurant and I encourage them to sell it instead of giving it to me.
