I have an awesome restaurant idea. I have a huge potential customer base for this idea, which is between 20-60 million Americans who have specific dietary needs that are not addressed on any menu that I have seen. Basically, I have the concepts for the menu items, which I think will really help out this group of people. I don't really want to run the restaurant myself, mainly because I have never worked in one and don't want to quit my day job. There are so many millions of people that could be helped by the ideas I have, but it is difficult to know where to begin. Basically, I want to get paid for my intellectual property, so I was looking at the idea of selling franchises. I just don't know where to begin. Can I sell a menu, or do I need a business plan? How do I pitch my ideas without having them stolen? Do I look for an investment angel, or do I take out a small business loan?
What is the best approach for someone who doesn't actually want to run the restaurant?
