    Far too simple, riddled with editing/writing problems
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2018*

I'm afraid that this book just didn't do it for me.  The concepts are very elementary, and most of what you can learn can be discovered easily with reading a few articles on-line.  The chapter on startup costs are very misleading, as so much depends on the type of restaurant you are building, how much a landlord might pay for tenant improvements, and the square footage involved, among a great many other things.I do advising for hundreds of businesses a year, so I am always seeking new perspectives, but this book didn't really give me any.  I can also say that some of the information is very incomplete or in some cases just plain wrong.Here's an example, for context.  One of the pieces of marketing advice is to "Use Social", which the author says is a must "Do or Die!", and then spends 3 short paragraphs on the topic, none of which is strategic or constructive.  The advice is basically 'use Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram".  If that's the level of advice you are looking for, then maybe this book will help you.My teeth are still grinding at the formatting, typos, grammar errors, and other issues throughout the book.  I would recommend the author hire an editor to help out with at least that.  I think I found an average of one error per page, which was distracting.If there's a pro here, the book is short.  Even though it has ~220 pages, it is in LARGE font, double-spaced.  It's a very easy read, I'll give it that.It's called a 'Lean Startup Guide', but the concepts of the Lean Startup are 100% ignored.  I suspect the author isn't familiar with what that terminology means.Disappointing...

    Why Do You Want to Start a Restaurant Business
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2017*

The question of "Why" is the most important one to answer before setting up any business - you need to believe in what you are doing, because it will take a large sum of money, and a lot of your time. "How To Start Run & Grow a Successful Restaurant Business" does a great job of explaining that your reason why needs to be something other than "money" - it will take quite a while for most restaurants to make much profit. I don't know much about restaurants, other than loving to eat, and visit them, but I do know the importance of doing the research before you go out and buy or build a place of your own. There are some great suggestions for alternative types of restaurant, finding the best location, and so on. There are great tips on writing a business plan (very important, especially if you need to get additional funding) that includes details of what your cash flow and profit are likely to be. It even includes suggestions for menus. It seems to me that while all the details will have to differ in your situation, you have no excuses for not covering everything if you follow the outline this book gives you. This book should be essential reading for everyone seeking funding for a restaurant, and for all those who end up on the TV shows that try and 'rescue' a place that was set up by people without doing the planning before jumping in. If you even only have a dream of owning a restaurant, read this book. It will either convince you that you can be a successful restaurateur, or advise you to stick to your day job.
