It is a very tough to start any business in this economy, East Hawaii double whammy! You don't know what arrangement he has worked out with his staff. I think he is smart, to start small and see what happens.
JohnP, over the years, I have seen too many restaurants in Hilo fail, lot of broken dreams! Many of the local restaurants do pay minimum wage and under, but they treat the employees well. A few restaurant owners here as an extra bonus take all their staff for a yearly Las Vegas trip.[![Smile Smile](http://punaweb.org/forum/images/smilies/smile.png)
