Like I say, just make sure you do the research. It may be a completely untapped market you can exploit or a completely unsustainable one that others have already fallen foul of. 90% of fast food is crappy for a reason - most people don't care, that's why they're eating fast food in the first place.

Once you factor in property leases, wages and so on I can see it being pretty hard to remain competitive and using high quality ingredients too, butchers and the like are a different market where people are prepared to pay a little more for quality. Fast food is something you'd need to give serious thought to, as I know the attitude I have to it and judging by the massive queues for McDonalds and KFC in West Quay at Southampton and the utterly empty 'Fat Jackets' and 'Quiznos' places, most people feel the same way
