Anyone who has run their own restaurant will tell you the hours are horrendous. You never get a day off and the minute you set money aside, you have to spend it. The day the bar fridge breaks down is the same one that the toilets flood. The pilot light in the oven won’t work, all of your deliveries are late and you need to act as if you don’t have a care in the world because it’s your job to put other people at ease – even when someone complains about the food after they have eaten every bite of it.
