Restaurant bars and grills are loved for their friendly and neighbourly atmosphere. They are the favourite hot spots of serial daters and young professionals alike, and are key to our multi-national cityscapes. However, many dangers put this type of business at risk. Tight profit margins, new legislation, licensing regulations, legal issues and the cost of living crisis is make managing a restaurant bar a complex endeavour.
