I am looking to partner with someone to launch a new type/theme of sports bar and grill. Unfortunately I do not have enough funds to do it on my own and my operational experience in the restaurant industry is currently limited. However I have a concept that a few people that I've told think is outstanding and an MBA in finance with analytical experience in several areas over the past 16 years. My ultimate goal would be to take my concept and build out a few restaurants before franchising it to go national. 

The partner(s) may either be highly involved or involved very little to silent partners. I do have experience in a franchise setting as an Accounting & Finance Manager for an international franchise in my background. So I understand what it takes to become and operate a franchising organization. I only have a small amount of restaurant experience which I understand may be a concern to some, however I've learned some of the most difficult industries (mortgage, higher education and health care are a couple) in a very short amount of time and know I'm a faster learner than most. Plus I love food so I would gladly spend a lot of time around the operation picking up the details and intricacies of the business.

All I need is someone that ultimately can see and will support my vision, mostly financially. The recession destroyed my finances and I'm willing to work with someone in whatever capacity to make my vision a reality. Hopefully you may have some investors or current owners that may be interested in partnering with me to accomplish this.
