Conclusion Control 100% of your core, outsource everything else. Don’t open a restaurant if no one can cook! Customer review: “Unfortunately everything we ordered was from a frozen box and then deep fried. At least it was all served hot (from the deep fryer) except the burger which was the Costco style claw burger on a stale bun. Everything unimaginatively warmed up, ...just heat and serve. Even the burger condiments seemed tired!”
