Who is going to operate the restaurant on a day-to-day basis?
If it will be self-operated, have you committed to this being your full-time job and your full-time income stream?
If a Manager will be hired, has a manager been identified that has a legitimate stake in the success of your business?
If you are currently employed and are planning on leaving to own and operate your Froots, have you at least made your decision to quit your current job?
If so, when are you planning on quitting?
Have you determined exactly where the money for the total development costs will come from to open the store?
Have you determined exactly how much of your own money you will invest in this endeavor?
Is the money you are going to invest available to use immediately?

Do all partners agree on moving forward?
Are all partners ready to contribute their portion of the investment?
Have you discussed this opportunity with everyone that will be involved in your household?
Does 100% of your household and any additional family members support your decision to own and operate a Froots?
