Great book! - By: Mr. R. Plescia, 13 Mar 2008 
This is a great little book for anyone interestedin setting up or buying a restaurant. It covers all the basics although I feel it could have gone into a bit more detail on certain key subject like how to calculate cover figures & licensing, but as i said, covers all the basics. The fact that the book has been written with the UK marketin mind is like breath of fresh as most other books are for US market.
Must read - By: Mr. R. K. Brown, 23 Nov 2006 This book is essential reading if you plan on opening a restaurantin the UK. There are a lot of books about, mostly from an American perspective, but this is from someone who has beenin the trade & knows what to expect. I wish that this this book had been out when I opened my first restaurant four years ago. Reading this book, makes me realise that the things that you go through are a common experience. This is written from a sensible human perspective.If you read this book & THEN open a restaurant it will pay for itself many times over.
Very informative - By: , 22 Mar 2006 
I found this book one of the most useful that i have purchased regarding the catering industry.It is an industry that i have just started workingin & thein depth information has been invaluable to me.
Everything is clearly set outin the book,easy to find exactly what you want to know & easy to read & take in.
The book doesnt make everything seem rose tinted,you get the facts,running such a business is hard work & this book makes that very clear,all the pitfalls are pointed out,but it is also encouragingin starting up such a business as long as you plan & are prepared.
Recommended.
