Resources for new business - bakery / lunch spot [View all]

I got laid off again this week. I am looking into taking over a bakery / lunch spot in my small town that was at one time successful, but failed for various mostly management reasons.

My only work in food service was 25 years ago waitressing in some nice places in our area. I love to cook and am good at it. I think I am developing a sound plan.

My primarily concerns are 1) start-up costs; 2) segregating our family's assets from the business; 3) how much work / hours it would entail; 4) how to make it profitable - cost of goods sold / income.

Anyone here know of any resources?

Thanks!
