While expansion isn’t always the right step for every restaurant, it can be a strong investment for business owners and chefs. Not only can it help build a chef or restaurateur's reputation, but it can also be a great way for financial partners to see a quicker return on their investments.

"The biggest risk is not only does the new location fail, but also that it detracts from the current location and both of them suffer," says Daniel Holzman, owner of Danny Boy’s Pizza. "Either the quality fails, the financial model doesn’t work, or they don’t have the discipline or ability to manage it. It’s a little bit of a house of cards."
