Design & Development

Bootstrapped (You use your own skills to build systems, paint walls, build counters, write menu, design space with little or no professional assistance. You will likely be in charge of daily operations and may hire supervisors to assist.)
Owner Assisted (You contract and direct the work yourself and may demolish a wall or write menu yourself. You will likely hire managers but you will be closely involved with daily operations)
Owner Directed (You hire a contractor but remain close to decision making. You rely on architect and designer to guide space development. You outsource menu development but guide the process. You may or may not be involved with daily operations.)
Outsourced (You share your vision with architects, designers, and other outsourced experts then remain hands off during building and developing. You will likely not be involved with daily operations.)
