Opening A Restaurant In Dominican Republic | New Business Venture
Yes, I opened another restaurant in Dominican Republic. I am excited about this new business venture for a couple of reasons. This time in went into partnership with my mom and we started very small. Starting a business in Dominican Republic doesn't cost a lot. We actually started this business for about $3,000 USD. Enjoy!

This is very exciting! I would love to visit your restaurant! That is so affordable to start! I wonder if my boyfriend would be interested in doing that; as I mentioned on another video, he was a cook as his profession, and currently he sells his BBQ pork on weekends, which is PHENOMENAL. I asked him why he does not make things like pork sausage, etc, and it is because he has a job during the week, so what he does now is the best for the spare time he has. He really does not have time for anything else, but what if he did something he loves as a full time job? It is something to consider. You are a huge inspiration; thank you!

And as for those prices, you found a great deal.

Hola Norberis, I’ve just come across your page and I’m glad I did. Congratulations on your restaurant from the looks of it - it has been a year now. I hope your journey has been an successful blessing to you and your family. Traveling this summer we will definitely stop by and enjoy some of your mom’s delicious cooking. My husband and I have been discussing relocating to Dominican Republic as well as opening some sort of food business preferably on or near the beach ( concession stand ) and I have been scratching my head on location, startup etc each time I google info I’m not receiving enough to move forward. I would love to hear your input on this. In other words I need help! 😊
