Review: Good book about starting a restaurant - List all important aspects of such a venture. Well written and goes in detail. I can advise as a good starting point about starting a restaurant. Review: Great Purchase - 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 Carol Anyway for £11 you cannot go wrong, but you could, if you don't buy it ;) ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #8,395,336 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #10,646 in Starting a Business (Books) #35,040 in Entrepreneurship (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 16 Reviews | ## Images ![Start and run a Restaurant: 2nd edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71doH736mBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book about starting a restaurant *by J***O on September 30, 2013* List all important aspects of such a venture.
