If you need money to launch your restaurant business plan into reality, ask yourself how hard and how creatively you are looking for it if you have been turned down by the traditional sources.
Here is a slideshow about ten different creative ideas regular people used to raise money to start the business they wanted. These are not restaurant stories but the idea is the same and the cash will spend the same once you’ve gotten it in your hands!
If you aren’t having the success you want with your first plan, I have two restaurant specific 
suggestions for you. The first is that you might be trying to start too big.
Is there a way to start smaller and still get to where you want to go? While you might not be able to get the $1 million you wanted to open a restaurant you may be able to get $50,000 which, scaled appropriately, is more than enough to build a reputation and a following to then move onto bigger things.
After all, did you see the story of the thriving New York City restaurant started with only $12,000. It can be done.
The second suggestion is related- bootstrap. If you can’t get the cash to open your main location, you probably can get the cash to open a stall at the local farmer’s market.
I know a baker who makes over $2,000 a day selling his pastries at the local market and he used this income to buy a full restaurant. He still sells at the market on weekends, by the way.
Can you do something along those lines? There is always a way to get where you want to go if you are flexible in your planning and persistent in your efforts.
