Investing in a restaurant and "let(ting) locals do the work" is a bad idea.
Sounds like you've never been here, in which case you are simply not going to make any right choices about what you want to do. Welcome to Kunming - but you MUST experience it on the ground a bit before you go jumping into a restaurant.
I'm not trying to discourage you - there are a number of foreign-run restaurants here and we could use another foreign chef from anywhere.

@Liumingke: Yes, but it's easy to get by with only putonghua in pubic, and that's what you'll learn in the schools. Kids learning here will probably pick up Kunminghua as well - better than I have, I'm sure.

Or even cash incentives? I know of a small charity that provides parents with such. Evidence exists that this works.
Fact is, there are sometimes small hidden costs in the 'free' elementary and middle school state education, which seem trivial unless you're really poor. Some people are really poor.

How about this: tax breaks to those who keep their kids in school? Seems to me this might interest those with no cash more than requirements to pay for schools that, for one reason or another, their kids are not attending.

I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.
