* Creator/AnthonyBourdain's book ''Literature/KitchenConfidential'' tears into the kind of people who like cooking and believe owning a restaurant is a logical extension of those skills that will let them make money from their hobby.
-->Unsurprisingly, a retired dentist who starts a restaurant for the sex, or to be told he's marvelous, is totally unprepared for the realities of the business. He's completely blindsided when the place doesn't start making money immediately. Under-capitalized, uneducated about the arcane requirements of new grease traps, frequent refrigeration repairs, unforeseen equipment replacement, when business drops, or fails to improve, he panics, starts looking for the quick fix. He thrashes around in an escalating state of agitation, tinkering with concept, menu, various marketing schemes. As the end draws near, these ideas are replaced by more immediately practical ones: closed on Sundays... cut back staff... shut down lunch.\\
Naturally, as the operation becomes more schizophrenic — one week French, one week Italian — as the poor schmuck tries one thing after another like a rat trying to escape a burning building, the already elusive dining public begins to detect the unmistakable odor of uncertainty, fear and approaching death. And once that distinctive reek begins to waft into the dining room, he may as well lay out petri-dishes of anthrax spores as bar snacks, because there is no way the joint is gonna bounce back.\\
It's remarkable how long some of these neophytes hang on after the clouds of doom gather around the place, paying for deliveries COD as if magic will happen — one good weekend, a good review, something will somehow save them. Like some unseen incubus, this evil cloud of failure can hang over a restaurant long after the operation has gone under, killing any who follow. The cumulative vibe of a history of failed restaurants can infect an address year after year, even in an otherwise bustling neighborhood. You can see it when passersby peer into the front window of the next operator; there's a scowl, a look of suspicion, as if they are afraid of contamination.
* ''Literature/TheNo1LadiesDetectiveAgency'': "The Handsome Man Deluxe Café" sees Mma Makutsi invest in the titular restaurant. Unfortunately, it all goes downhill starting from the point when the attorney handling the purchase installs his in-laws as the staff, none of which are remotely competent, and only the fact that a SupremeChef relative of theirs handles the cooking keeps it from being an utter disaster, and to compound it, Mma Makutsi's SitcomArchnemesis Violet Sephotho's new job for the episode is restaurant critic, and she all too happily tears into the restaurant. Fortunately matters are more or less resolved by the end.
