For most restaurants of a specific style - Chinese, Teriyaki, Tex-Mex, etc - there are actually entire restaurant packages you can buy from restaurant supply houses. These include everything you need to open the doors of your new place, from kitchen hardware to seating to appliances to signage.

Find a space, get a biz license, put a single $90k purchase on a credit card, and badda-boom-badda-bing yer in business.
