The authors should be embarrassed.
This is the worst "how-to" book I have ever read. To criticize it, I wouldn't even know where to start except to say that it's useless. All of the "information" is either terribly inane and/or known to everyone over the age of ten, or is completely irrelevent. For instance, it's discuss whether you should get money from Venture Capitalists for a catering business(!) and then ten pages are spent informing you about the computer you'll need, including a little bit about keyboards and monitors!I want my money back.

Terrific Info for Someone Just Getting Started!!
I've been well pleased with the content of this book. Very thoroughly thought through, and written in an easy to understand way. Very practical in its approach. I'm very glad I bought it.

Awful
I was looking for a catering book at my local book store & this was the only one they had. I paged through it & it was terrible. I agree with the other reviewer that this was a very basic book. I was looking for more information on the requirement of having a commercial kitchen in California. While I didn't necessarily expect to find specific state information, all the book said was you may be required to get a commercial kitchen. No resources on *where* I would find that information or who I would contact. And when I looked at the business card section, all it said was to get business cards & stationary with your business logo - duh. It sounded to me like this was a book written by someone who might have general business start up experience, but no catering business experience. It was very generic. Similar Products
