Hi Experts,
I want to discuss one major query with you all.
Actually I did my B.Tech in mechanical engineering in the year 2010 after which I moved to writing field (writing of mechanical engineering subject content). Right now also I am working in this field and have a total work experience of 2 years 8 months. I worked at 2 companies - for 1 year 1 month at Kogent Learning Solutions (a unit of Wiley India Publishing House) and for 1 year 7 months at Dragonfly Education Pvt Ltd (a startup).
My basic aim to do MBA is to change my line (currently I have WRITING field) and to move in another line. I have a keen interest in Food Business. I want to open my chain of restaurants in whole India. Right now, I have become so passionate that I want to leave my current job and begin my startup.
I assume that starting only 1 restaurant can be done without an MBA but starting a chain of restaurants would require an MBA. So, my question to you is that if I leave my current job (of work ex 2.8 yrs), then take a gap of 2 months to give GMAT and at the starting of Jan 2014 - open my restaurant, then would that affect my application to B-School (If I submit in around Aug 2014)?
Would the career switch from Writing to Food Business pose a negative impact on my application? Will my work experience be counted as a whole or will it be counted only for my work in my restaurant startup?
At the end, it would be great if you can suggest me some of the good B-Schools that can suit to my application - Restaurant Management.

Changing of field does not have an impact on MBA application as most of the MBA applicants will be aiming for a change in their field after their MBA. So it won’t be a problem. You can add your new startup business to your overall experience. A start up experience can only increase your chances of an MBA. Working in different disciplines in a startup such as sales, marketing, operations, finance, etc will help you appreciate your MBA better. You should give your start up a decent run before going for an MBA. Going for an MBA just after eight months (Jan to Aug) of starting your own company doesn't make much business sense. About schools, it depends on your overall profile (GMAT, GPA, Experience, Extracurricular, etc). Don’t choose a school based on its reputation in restaurant management. Go to a top ranked school possible. Good luck.
