I've heard the statistics for a restuarant or any eating establishment are 5 years before it becomes profitable. Can that be right? I don't think it applies to a chain but to independent places

That could be right. It's likely an average.

I've never been involved in the business. My sister was a manager of several restaurants some years back, and she let me know it was a very stressful, difficult business to be in.
