Borrowing Money in the Restaurant Business: Family Loans, Trust, and Getting Burned

Borrowing and lending money always sounds simple…until it isn’t. In this episode of Restaurant Punk, the crew gets real about how money and relationships collide in the restaurant world.

From skipping the bank and taking loans from family to handshake deals, interest rates, and debts that never seem to go away - we’re talking about the emotional and financial toll of doing business with people you actually know.

It’s raw, funny, and a little too real for anyone who’s ever lent - or borrowed - a dollar in hospitality.
