simple and easy to understand,
I picked this book because I was very interested in trying to understand how to run a business.
I’ve working in a restaurant before and I saw all facets of fast food, but I’d never worked in other types of restaurant.
I loved the various ways they showed how to run different restaurants, yet made it simple enough to understand how to do everything generally.
The tips and sidebars were great and easy to understand as well. Love this book! Definitely didn’t feel like a dummy when i was done.

|Excellent book for a Dummy!,
For a dummy series book, this one is quite nice.
It really covers all the lines and dots on what you need to look out for when running a restaurant.
I bought this book for a friend of mine who recently opened a Yogurt shop.
He really had no experience running a yogurt store so I got this book for me to have some intelligent questions to ask and help him.
It covers from before you go into the business to the time after you are in business.
The preplanning issues, funding issues (the most critical part), the daily operations, the food supplies, the management issues.
It’s practical and it offers a quick glance of what one would need to know before running a restaurant.
I am surprised this book can actually train a dummy into a genius.
Recommended.

|Pretty good primer for those looking to jump in the game.,
I run a food truck and have at times considered opening a brick and mortar restaurant. After 3 years doing food service and catering, I have made some massive mistakes.
Some of these very mistakes are highlighted in this book. Just as with all of the Dummies series they break down what to look out for. There is NO WAY a book can cover everything that can and does go wrong with owning a restaurant, however, this book does mention some of the biggest pitfalls to lookout for.
Most restaurants fail, and the odds are not in your favor to even open one. Know that, going into this venture with at least a bit of knowledge can and will help you greater than the cost of this book.
As always a light-hearted tone makes reading a Dummies book a joy. Do your research, read, study, watch videos. Sit down and THINK HARD if you want to go ahead with this!
Good Luck for sure!
