Your story was interesting, but I think this statement needs some qualifiers:

> It’s not about making friends with the right people

It clearly WAS about that, because having friends in the restaurant industry is what allowed your friend to succeed. If he had no restaurant connections, he could have never signed up any customers.

And if he didn't have a developer friend who was willing to help, the launch would have taken months.
