Are there any restaurant owners out here- Grapevine

I was recently impacted by layoff and having 20yrs of exp into application support and service management with last 10yrs grown into a middle management role(limited tech hands-on and no dev experience nor CS background)

While I am financially ok atm and can manage staying at home for next 12-24 months, I am not financially independent yet. its getting too boring and I want to get back into some sort of work routine as I am keen on retirement yet.

Challenges I am seeing with finding a new opportunity:

- The job market seems to be quite restricted for senior roles with that experience
- Few that came across were at a substantial low salary.  
- Some others required significant hands-on experience 

Thought process::

- While salary is not a major concern, I am not sure if I makes sense to take a pay cut.
- Given the speed of tech changes, not sure what kind of learning/certification would be helpful
- Even if I do tech self-learning, lack of practical hands-on seems to be a drawback
- At 40+ while I am open to work hard and learn, i view is to find a job and learn into it , rather than other wat round

Any guidance/pointers would be appreciated. As would any leads/introductions on suitable opportunities you know of.

What next at 40+

I am planning to open a QSR restaurant/cafe in Bangalore. Need some insights on restaurant business in Bangalore -
1. How are the rents in areas like Koramangala/Indiranagar for a small QSR cafe?
2. How much does it cost to setup a fully operational QSR cafe like Rameshwaram?(approx in lakhs) 
3. What are the monthly operation costs? (Rents, salaries, stock)
4. Do we need a lot of local contacts to set up a restaurant?
4. Is it possible to operate a restaurant along with a full time software job? 
5. Is QSR cafe a better alternative to building a non profitable start-up?

I have thought of some good USPs for the QSR. But, I am really confused whether I should go ahead with it or not. Please give your inputs.

Any software engineers in Bangalore tried opening a restaurant/cafe?

So we are three people (2 developers & 1 UX Designer) on our way to start a design & development agency. Right now we’re testing the waters and the official registration will take place a couple of months from now. We’re looking for a fourth person to join this endeavour, a UX Designer adept in UX Research methodologies.

The four of us will be equal partners. And it’ll start as a zero capital business.

Not considering any freshers for this btw. We’ll hope you guys later on.

I was at a fairly high end tailor today, and the sheer beauty in the art of crafting a perfect fitting suit is unparalleled.

When I see a true master make the right knots and use chalk to measure on fabric, the beauty of peak human skill emanates from each motion.

It made me realise that we might be doing something extremely interesting in our day jobs but it is extremely hard to showcase true human mastery in it.

Suddenly, it dawns on you that although white collar jobs are paid well commensurate to the value they create, we seldom obtain skills that exhibit a similar level of craftsmanship.

There is indeed true beauty in the creation of the perfect suit. 

Somehow, it is a reminder for us all that builders are the ultimate value creators. Enablers ensure value enrichment but you can’t enrich something until the genesis of value.

And it is the death of human ingenuity if we become glorified file movers.

Why are some examples of human craft that makes you awestruck? What are your thoughts on this post? 

Would love to hear you all out.
