No. This is a bad idea. As well, if you pay as much attention to detail as you did to this post, you are doomed to failure. Some may come out and condemn me as a grammar Nazi - so be it. I'm trying to save you from a terrible, costly mistake.

do you guarantee commercial success with money on the table or just with words?

Please note that I am a successful professional in consulting and higher education space and have lot of social-economical-ethical responsibilities.

I do guarantee the good ROI and growth as that is what I am known for. While I guarantee the uniqueness, taste, services the most important part is the marketing. Though I have been a marketing pro for 35 years with a global career and enormous success it has to be a collective effort of all stakeholders to ensure full potential and commercial success.

I just not guarantee commercial success with money on the table but also with words failing to which there will be a term and easy way to recover the investments. However, it will not be required.

Lot of research has gone behind the proposal and not something to jeopardize my successful global career and lives of family members as I will leave my job and will give my 100% time, efforts and expertise into it.

Please view my LinkedIn profile and applied research reputation (I don't do academic research) to know both information and application abilities of mine.

You are welcome to ask further clarifications, if you are serious and capable as an investor.

You have right to give your personal opinion or write something when you are frustrated or drunk.

I'm neither frustrated nor drunk. I HAVE been living in Thailand for 12 years and can guarantee this idea will fail. Thailand is not a foodie place. The obstacles you must overcome to start a business are daunting. The corruption once you establish a business ("tea money") siphons just about any and all profit away. The competiti0n is overwhelming and xenophobia runs rampant. EVERY business owner I know says tourism is WAY down. People around the world are scared and broke, and few are coming to spend money on restaurants.

My favorite saying in Thailand is "Up to you." If you feel you have the money to risk and can walk away after losing it all, then by all means go for it, but honestly I'd highly recommend trying something else.

Thanks for your comments.

I am 55 living and working across over 80 countries around the world as head of marketing for companies like Toyota, Sony, Ford, Sony Music, etc. to name a few understanding markets and consumer behaviour very well with landmark achievements.

I can take a challenge of US$ 10 million that it will be a grand success and there are 1000s of such cases of successes and failures are there in Thailand and everywhere.

You may check and conduct a research how my countrymen without much international experience running the best restaurants in Thailand and across the world including those fall among top 10 restaurants in Thailand.

Agree..not a good idea. Have you ever managed a restaurant? Because if you have you know that the different ingredients for each cuisine will kill your budget. There will be no focus and you'll have cooks who don't understand anything about any of the cuisines cooking the food. No good.

Yes, I have been a consultant and adviser to many restaurant and managed several. I am also the ideator of Healthy Planet restaurants, world's first health food restaurants. I have been teaching in UK hotel, hospitality and restaurant management programs across several continents. I have been a food critic for major television channels and produced travel shows with food in focus.

By profession, I am a former international corporate executive turned management consultant, executive coach-mentor-guide and academic leader and Professor with transcontinental career and millions of followers.

Being 55 years old from India but lived and traveled across the world and raised in a family of foodies, I have in-depth knowledge of all the ingredients and possessing hands on cooking experience while my wife is an engineer by profession is also a foodie and passionate cook mastered dishes from different continents and culture.

We are not looking for cooks but assistants as we cannot afford to risk it in others hands so we plan to cook with helping hands to ensure right taste, portion control and quality.

It sounds like an enormous project... I wish you the best of luck.

The only thing that does not add up is with all your connections, why not seek funding amongst people you know, as opposed to strangers on an expat forum.

Why are you seeking financial backing from strangers, when you seem so well connected?

And, I agree with some of the other posters on here. The restaurant business isn't about large margins and notoriously competitive. This, if genuine, is doomed.

This OP has been fishing for stupid people to give him (or her?) money for MONTHS. Ignore it and hopefully it will go away like the bad smell it is. I will investigate how to report this as a phishing spam.

Everybody has their own reasons and rationale behind getting a larger number of people on board in restaurant business is not something strange. Moreover, I am not asking the investors to handover the fund but to be a part of it and invest at their own on which I will have no control or rights.

I am in a professional field of Consulting and Coaching which doesn't go with this venture and I do not wish to mix them up for all right reasons.

When someone is not interested in it and not capable in investing money why they have to show their sheer ignorance by throwing doubts and creating confusion ?

That is very negative, unethical, unprofessional and antisocial attitude.

"why they have to show their sheer ignorance by throwing doubts and creating confusion ?"

The way you've been going about this for MONTHS is unethical and unprofessional. Several members of this forum have tried pointing this out to you, from what a poor idea this is for the area to how there are much better ways to try and raise funding for your restaurant. Your approach is akin to a Nigerian Prince seeking to help us transfer money, all we have to do is invest and we will receive GREAT returns.
