/biz/ here. Writing a business plan to open an actual fitness restaurant.
You may have heard of Protein House and other places with a similar premise, but they really cater to casual gym goers, or 'DYEL' as you call them. They sell low calorie salad wraps and fruit smoothies.
The place I'm opening will be split into a 'bulking' and 'cutting' areas, and some of the menu items will be
>JUST (TM) Seasoned chicken breast
>Eight egg omelette
>Actual fresh vegetables (broccoli, kale) and wholegrain/brown rice
Basically the same shit you cook at home, but marinated, seasoned, grilled, BBQ. At an affordable price, the place you can eat at regularly after gym sessions.
Would you eat here?

If it wasnt overpriced as shit, not too far out of the way and the food was prepared better than i could at home, sure.

I understand the these sort of niche restaurants charge a lot. Take vegan restaurants, you'll pay double what it would cost you to eat the same thing in, say, an Italian.
I don't plan on taking advantage of having a 'monopoly' on the lifter crowd, it'll be priced according to the market rate.

You should have a glass jar filled with CHADs semen in a glass case behind the counter with a 10k price tag on it

People eat these foods at home because
1. Its much cheaper than eating out
2. Because you don't feel guilty for eating out
A fit restaurant would ruin that and itll fail

There's a reason behind this.

Here's the reason for doing it. There's a location with three large gyms (a 'fitness complex') where the location would be ideal. Location is everything here.
The second thing is that a lot of people like to eat out because of social reasons and have to resort to having salad and cooking at home later. Money also isn't the biggest problem -- there's a strong correlation between income and hours in the gym. Exercising is a luxury for most people.

You know, I actually thought of something similar. You could start from a restaurant-on-wheels sort of thing and call it Anabolic Window, kek. Make sure you have flashy LEDS bordering the open side of the van.
It might just work. Make sure you have a wide variety of food ready for dyels and soccer moms. Including Detox Tea. Fuck it, it's money to be made after all.
Pretty sure they already have this, it's called waba grill. The food there is less than $10. Usually $5-8.95.

Detox tea could just be green or black tea. I just don't want snake oil, that might drive some away.
If it wasnt too expensive, had deliveries, and the macros were not bullshut, then yes, i would order daily.
>>37772746
Sounds like a solid idea. The menu could have the caloric breakdown of each food along with the macros

>I just don't want snake oil, that might drive some away.
Yeah, it sure as hell might drive some CASH away.

>the place you can eat at regularly after gym sessions
Because anabolic window amirite
Problem with eating out is that I have no way to track my calories.
Make sure you specifically list your calories/macros, and have a MFP(or other apps) listed.
This is the reason Chipotle has all my business now, it's consistent and has great macros. You're going to have convince lifters why your restaurant is better/more convinient/higher quality than simply walking Chipotle and getting another triple meat burrito bowl.

Please make CHAD'S(tm) Flatbread PIZZA.
It has to be mostly meat, too.
Theres needs to be a Regular and Low carb option, too- like, with a cauliflower crust, or something.
