Unless you are an incredibly saavy and successful business person or have a ton of money to use upfront, I would stay FAR away from bringing the "idea" to fruition.
That is why I prefer to use OPM when in a business. First I would get a job as a bartender and get into management. That way I learn how to run a bar on Other People's Money. Then I would borrow the money so the bank looks over my business plan and see if they can poke holes in it. If it screws up, it's not my personal fortune we are talking about. Obviously, you will pay a premium for that protection.
