100k personal profit on a mill in revenue is pretty nice actually in my opinion. I'm just working for a firm where my contributions are likely resulting in revenues higher than that and I'm receiving similar compensation, without actually owning the vehicle of growth.

If you've really figured out a way to grab 10% of REVENUE_X that's reproducible, you're a golden goose with your choice of owners.

Maybe, except all evidence is that the restaurant industry is not reproducible year over year. Trends change, a new competitor opens down the block, or maybe the big employer across the street announces layoffs spurring customers to rethink their discretionary spend.
