Running a Restaurant For Dummies (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance))

I'm very hopeful reading the rest of this book as I have taken some entrepreneur courses from college to prepare a business plan as one reviewer pointed out; a book cannot cover absolutely everything but I think this is a good start to getting your feet wet.

This book makes the incredibly terrifying process of planning a restaurant relatively smooth and simple. It covers A LOT and is not boring or confusing at a ll to follow. My only critique is that sometimes I would like it to into more depth about certain steps but I suppose it is purposefully general in an attempt to cover all aspects of restaurateuring.

Pretty much common sense advice.

HEY don't decide to open a joint based on this one book! There's too many outside variables. I just got it as a reference and also to see how our places stack up against this guys views. (Very well thank you!) A good read and worth having on your shelf.

Weaker than I thought it would be. Some of the Dummies series are excellent, textbook quality. Some are written at too low a level. This is one of those.

My friend just opened a restaurant after having been managing them for over 10 years. Me, being the great friend I am (really, just to be funny), bought him a beginners book on how to run a restaurant. Turns out he read my joke gift and there was a ton of useful information in it.

This book was bought for my teenage son who wants to open a restaurant when he gets older. I thought it would be a good starting point for him. The book has quite a bit of useful information.

This book kept me from making a HUGE MISTAKE! I am not in a failing prospect at the moment because I took the time to read this and figure out our idea would fail before I spent a ton of money!
