How to start a cafe/restaurant?

I want to own my own cafe/restaurant in the future after I graduate, but I'd also like to do it in the USA. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice for starting a business in general, and also whether it is possible to move to america to start a business? Would it be easier to do a graduate degree in the US and then start a business?

It's hard to get into the US!

You need all sorts of sponsors and referees it's crazy. It could take years just to be allowed to live or even study there.

You could always try doing a degree here (or there) and then finding a job first. That way, the company can sponsor you for getting a visa. Just so long as the skills/degree/qualifications you have are in demand over there.

If you have immediate family (parents, grandparents, spouse, siblings) that are already living there then getting a visa would be much easier.

I hope you achieve your dreams!

Edit: I recommend looking at the following for information on Visas and immigrating:
