<prompt> Human: As the title says I am 25 looking to hopefully open a restaurant within the next ten years. I only have 3,000 in savings and no debt. Im just a line cook now, but have been working for about 6 years in various back of the house positions. Also I have no degree only a work log at some very nice fine dining establishments. What would be some good places to start growing income for opening my own place? Just wanting to open a small corner restaurant with a private room for course dinners. Any and all advice will be appreciated!  <response>: As a practical suggestion, thats a pretty awful investment. You are more likely to lose everything than to make a killing. If you do want to own a restaurant, at least look at ways to share the risk with other partners.The National Restaurant Association estimates that on average, about 60,000 restaurants open each year and 50,000 close. These closings arent all failures, says Christin Fernandez, the associations director of media relations and public affairs. Some may be owners shutting down one location to open a new location, but it does illustrate the churn in the industry on a regular basis.
