Start and run a Restaurant: 2nd edition Paperback – January 29, 2010

This book is good if you know nothing. Give good indication of how to start, what the pitfalls are and necessities in the restaurant trade. Only downside ... Did talk as if money was no object.

Very informative but not very concise. Not an easy read.

bought it as a present

Bought as a xmas present for the boyfriend and he loves it, it has many tips apparently

This book was a great purchase, easy to follow, good logical chapters.I have always dreamed of running my own place (Haven't got there yet as I am still at University), but when I finish this is a book I will definitely come back to. It has great tips on where to begin and what to do and what not to do. It also has small details that could potentially make a big difference to someones experience visiting your establishment. For example, simple menu explanations, I have always been a massive menu critique, alot of people think "ah needs to have nice fancy writing to portray fancy food" Wrong!, it all depends on what type of food you are serving and what target audience you are aiming for, not to be too patronising, but some people may not be able to read that typography etc. I could go on forever about small details but that's why this book helps so much.. basically "I didn't think of that, good point"....Bravo CarolAnyway for £11 you cannot go wrong, but you could, if you don't buy it ;)
