A new support service aims to help restaurant owners succeed in France

About 5,000 restaurants in France have faced financial trouble since the start of the year, up 7% from a year earlier.

A food-business accelerator called Service Compris helps people starting restaurants.

Augustin used its support for two years while launching his stewed-dish restaurant, La Mijoterie.

The work involves more than cooking well: owners also need to manage a business.
