Can you share some of the most disastrous opening a new restaurant horror stories?

Overestimating the revenue in the first few months is another financial horror story. A new trendy burger joint thought they'd be making a killing from day one. They took out a big loan based on their projected sales. But in reality, it took months to build up a customer base. They had high loan payments to make each month while their income was much lower than expected. This put them in a very difficult financial situation, and they had to consider closing down just a few months after opening.

One horror story could be getting all the permits. In many places, there are numerous permits required for a restaurant, like health permits, building permits for renovations. A friend of mine thought he could open his new place in a couple of months. But he got stuck in the permit process for over a year. The local council kept asking for more paperwork and changes to the building plans. It was a nightmare as he had already signed a lease, hired some staff, and was paying rent all that time without being able to open.

Staffing problems are also common. I heard about a new restaurant where the chef they hired just didn't show up on the opening night. They had a full house of customers waiting for their fancy meals. The owner had to scramble and try to cook some basic dishes himself, but it was a disaster. The customers were not happy and left bad reviews all over the place, which really hurt the new business.

Sure. Some people end up with hair that looks frizzy instead of smooth after a keratin treatment. It's like the treatment had the opposite effect. There are also cases where the hair has an odd texture, not smooth like it should be but rather bumpy. It's really disappointing when you pay for a treatment to improve your hair and it ends up looking worse.

There was this time in a restaurant where the kitchen had a rat problem. A customer saw a rat running across the floor near the kitchen entrance. It was terrifying, and of course, it made people question the hygiene standards of the whole place. The management tried to deny it at first, which made the situation even worse.

One horror story is when a customer found a hair in their food. It was really disgusting and put them off their meal completely. They complained to the waiter, but the waiter just shrugged it off as if it was no big deal.

One horror story is when a waiter had a customer who was extremely rude. The customer kept changing their order multiple times and then complained about the wait when it was their own fault. When the food finally came, they found a small hair in it (which may not have been the waiter's fault at all) and demanded a full refund and screamed at the waiter in front of the whole restaurant.

One time I went to a restaurant and the waiter took forever to take our order. When he finally did, he got half of it wrong. Then the food took an extremely long time to come out, and when it did, it was cold. It was a really frustrating experience.

Once I went on a trip to a small island. I booked a 'beachfront' hut. When I arrived, I found out the 'beach' was a muddy swamp. The hut was also full of bugs. It was disastrous but looking back, it was really funny.

Some contestants may have had issues with the equipment used in the games. For instance, if a device for a pricing game malfunctioned and they were not given a fair chance to complete the game properly. This can be a real horror story for them as they lost out not because of their own error but due to a technical problem.
