I'D GIVE IT TWO THUMBS UP
I wish there was a book like this when I started out in the business. It would have made life a lot easier. It goes over the whole procedure of starting a restaurant in a logical, easy to understand way. Gives lots of examples of things that can save you time and money. Has a strong chapter on preplanning. That's the best time to avoid the mistakes that can bankrupt a restaurant later on. Takes you from the business plan right through the grand opening. A very wise investment, for the small cost.

Very good book
I found this book got right to the core of starting a Restaurant in a logical and easy to understand way. It contains a useful model for a restaurant business plan, and includes practical approaches to tasks that must be dealt with in a restaurant start-up. It also suggests ways to cope with if not avoid many typical problems, and presents numerous strategies for increasing chances of success. Very helpful.

I bought it because I want all the help I can get.
I've been told that 80% of new businesses fail within their first five years. I can't afford to take that chance. That's why I'm getting all the help I can get to succeed in the restaurant business. And this book is helping me a lot. Every time I flip a page and see something I didn't even think of, or spot a costly mistake I would have made, I'm glad I bought it. It's easy to read, easy to understand, and covers every phase of the business from planning to the grand opening. Good examples and checklists. I give it five stars. Similar Products
