pubs are definately better than running restaurants! i would never ever buy and own a restaurant ever! although with pubs you get some major issues like people dealing to teeny boppers and drunks at least you can chuck them out and not expect a complaint letter to higher level management with a voucher in the post for their trouble when their trouble was actually them being rude to staff!
dh is loving the pub as well, the bosses are so much nicer as well, at the moment in the restaurant industry there is a culture of hiring complete wan$ers to wring as much as they can out of their managers, there is an impossibly small labour budget set which means poor customer service which means more complaints which means less sales less profit higher labour% based on sales which then means cutting staff back even more which leads to even more complaints and basically general managers coming home stressed to the hilt because they get told they do not work enough hours like my dh got told when he was working 75 hours a week!
pubs it is so much different, its the same with that there are budgets and targets but the attitude and method and atmosphere is just completely opposite!
if people knew how much money restaurants were allowed to spend on paying staff everyone around the country would go ahhhhh that explains a hell of a lot!
