Ever wonder why your favorite restaurants choose to set up shop where they do? We're diving deep into the hotly debated world of 'Key Money,' the huge sums that restaurants may fork over for that 'perfect' location. From strategies that involve lawyers, financial advisors, and real estate moguls, to the role of KPIs and ROI in these risky moves— it's all more complex than it seems. We'll discuss the crucial factors that dictate why a restaurant would take the gamble and whether it's a genius move or a recipe for disaster.
