the restaurant business in the DR is a sure fire strategy to lose your shirt.

Not just in the DR, but most anywhere. The success rate is low even in the US. Most are out of business within the first five years. That is why a food Franchise has become so attractive and a preferred alternative and even that has its draw backs and not a guarantee for anything.
