Challenges Facing the Restaurant Industry
It’s said that 60% of new restaurants fail within their first year. This is often due to the high initial costs of starting a business and the challenging market conditions that exist in almost every major city.
Given the competitiveness of the market, every little edge you can create goes a long way towards sustainable success. While many restaurants and food-based entrepreneurs attempt to get going on their own, with an attorney helping you through the initial stages you can trust that your business is founded on solid footing.
At JJH Law, our food industry attorneys can help you establish this foundation for growth from the get-go. We’ve seen it all and are ready to help you however you need.
