Hi Experts,
I want to discuss one major query with you all.
Actually I did my B.Tech in mechanical engineering in the year 2010 after which I moved to writing field (writing of mechanical engineering subject content). Right now also I am working in this field and have a total work experience of 2 years 8 months. I worked at 2 companies - for 1 year 1 month at Kogent Learning Solutions (a unit of Wiley India Publishing House) and for 1 year 7 months at Dragonfly Education Pvt Ltd (a startup).
My basic aim to do MBA is to change my line (currently I have WRITING field) and to move in another line. I have a keen interest in Food Business. I want to open my chain of restaurants in whole India. Right now, I have become so passionate that I want to leave my current job and begin my startup.
I assume that starting only 1 restaurant can be done without an MBA but starting a chain of restaurants would require an MBA. So, my question to you is that if I leave my current job (of work ex 2.8 yrs), then take a gap of 2 months to give GMAT and at the starting of Jan 2014 - open my restaurant, then would that affect my application to B-School (If I submit in around Aug 2014)?
Would the career switch from Writing to Food Business pose a negative impact on my application? Will my work experience be counted as a whole or will it be counted only for my work in my restaurant startup?
At the end, it would be great if you can suggest me some of the good B-Schools that can suit to my application - Restaurant Management.

Well the first thing to take into account is that restauration is not necessarily something that requires an MBA. I don't think many people who open their first restaurants have an MBA (and I guess they don't really need it), It's not a complex business model, but knowledge of food, good taste, aesthetics, connections, luck, and so on that will make your first restaurant. OF course an MBA is perfect for a chain of restaurants though! Actually, what makes most sense is (if it is reasonable) you try and set up your first restaurant (or two or three) BEFORE you apply to the MBA, and then use the MBA as a transition to building your chain. Studying a two year MBA before opening a single restaurant is a bit of an overkill. (plus I don't know how well this story would work with the AdCom)

To add to what John says if the restaurant business is your passion go open the restaurant. Then expand based on the business' success and market prospects. Worry about whether you need an MBA after you have launched your first restaurant. Also, you might pursue an MFB (Master of Management in Food & Beverage) instead. SDA Bocconi has a good program (https://www.sdabocconi.it/en/specialized ... cutive/mfb). Here is a list that also includes other areas like wine (https://www.best-masters.com/ranking-mas ... erage.html).
