To continue with your analogy: I know I'm good at making Mexican food and that's why I already opened my Mexican restaurant only to learn that barely anyone in this town likes Mexican food but everybody seems to love pizza. Should I at least try to satisfy the pizza-crowd or continue making Mexican food until I'm out of business? |
Seems odd that nobody likes Mexican food. Maybe instead of assuming people just don't like Mexican food, you should probably figure out precisely what is wrong with your restaurant. Maybe your ingredients aren't as fresh as they need to be. Maybe you need to add more items to your menu. Maybe you're charging too much for your tacos and need to lower the price. Maybe you're selling tacos without shells, and then charging people a ridiculous amount for shells that they need for their tacos.
One thing is for sure. If you're right next door to a restaurant that has been making pizza for years, has a great reputation for pizza, has tons of loyal customers, makes much better pizza than you, and sells it at a lower price, then you're probably not going to have success selling pizza. You should make sure you've done absolutely all that you can to make your Mexican restaurant a success before switching to pizza. If you absolutely can't sell Mexican food, then you should try a burger joint or something, because you're not going to beat the pizzeria at making pizza.
