Even though Olatunji Aiyeola is new to the restaurant business, he’s already dealing with the problems familiar to longtime restaurateurs, including short staffing and crabby Yelpers.

“The food is not as spicy as people think it’s going to be, but I’m trying to create a balance,” explains Aiyeola, who late last month opened Wakis African Kitchen in Columbus, Georgia. “I read the reviews, and I want people to know they should be patient.”
