Daniel Skuta: What to Ask Before Investing in a Restaurant

Daniel Skuta has invested in a number of businesses since retiring from the NFL, most notably two in the foodservice industry.

And as an experienced restaurant investor, Skuta has come to appreciate not only the challenges that come with managing such investments, but how important it is to carefully vet restaurant opportunities before making a significant financial commitment.

What to Ask Before Investing in a Restaurant

With a stake in two distinct Limon Rotisserie locations, Daniel Skuta knows the importance of asking questions during the investment evaluation process, including:

• What is the condition of the equipment and facility? A restaurant without the proper infrastructure may require costly repairs and updates. Knowing where your money will be going is key.
• What is the restaurant’s reputation? Rehabilitating a poor image may require significant cash the restaurateur won’t be able to commit elsewhere.

• Are there any liabilities? Any existing health code violations or employee issues could present a setback that affects how far your money can go.

Daniel Skuta – What Are the Qualities of an Effective Football Player?

Former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Dan Skuta played football in college (including for two championship Grand Valley State University squads) and at the professional level.

Now retired, Skuta looks back on a career that not gave him the opportunity to compete at the highest levels of the sport, but that also provided him the opportunity to play alongside and against numerous legends of the game.

A noted defensive player throughout his career, Daniel Skuta came to understand and appreciate the qualities that tend to link the effective players together – persona, intangible qualities such as:

• Confidence. No matter the level, players with the most confidence tend to, well, succeed the most. Those with the mental toughness and belief in themselves to get the job done tend to be the players most likely to make the strongest impact on the field.
• Desire. Much is to be said for desire – the determination to overcome challenges on the field, the push past failures and accomplish goals regardless of who or what stands in the player’s way.

Daniel Skuta – Preparation Key to Safe Snowmobiling

Now that he’s retired from football, Daniel Skuta has the time to pursue a variety of personal and professional interests in more depth. This includes snowmobiling – an activity he has enjoyed for many years.

A former Jacksonville Jaguars Linebacker, Dan Skuta enjoys the rewards of a good snowmobile excursion whenever possible – though he never starts a ride without taking the proper safety precautions. Safe riding, as he knows, is the key not only to avoiding injury, but also to getting the most out of the day ahead.

Preparation is key to a safe ride, and includes:

• Preventive maintenance. Before hopping on any snowmobile, it’s essential to make sure your ride is working properly – and won’t present any avoidable surprises along the way.
• Wearing the proper equipment. Helmets, goggles, gloves and adequate cold weather gear are needed to protect yourself each step of the way.
• Bringing a friend. Should an emergency occur, it helps to have a friend or loved one at your side – someone who can flag down help or provide assistance if needed.
