Review: Great Guidance for an aspiring restaurateur - This book makes the incredibly terrifying process of planning a restaurant relatively smooth and simple. It covers A LOT and is not boring or confusing at a ll to follow. My only critique is that sometimes I would like it to into more depth about certain steps but I suppose it is purposefully general in an attempt to cover all aspects of restaurateuring. Review: Basic stuff, but nice to have in one volume - HEY don't decide to open a joint based on this one book! There's too many outside variables. I just got it as a reference and also to see how our places stack up against this guys views. (Very well thank you!) A good read and worth having on your shelf. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 359 Reviews | ## Images ![Running A Restaurant Fd 2E.: Second Edition (For Dummies) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819znDA9AgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Guidance for an aspiring restaurateur *by M***R on January 30, 2014* This book makes the incredibly terrifying process of planning a restaurant relatively smooth and simple. It covers A LOT and is not boring or confusing at a ll to follow. My only critique is that sometimes I would like it to into more depth about certain steps but I suppose it is purposefully general in an attempt to cover all aspects of restaurateuring. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic stuff, but nice to have in one volume *by J***R on January 21, 2014* HEY don't decide to open a joint based on this one book! There's too many outside variables. I just got it as a reference and also to see how our places stack up against this guys views. (Very well thank you!) A good read and worth having on your shelf. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun and informative *by V***R on April 4, 2012* I live in Tokyo, a city that has over 200,000 restaurants and more Michelin stars than any other city in the world. I have never worked in a restaurant but I love eating in them. I have no idea if this book could in fact help me start and run my own establishment. It can't hurt, but I am realistic and since nowhere is more competitive than Tokyo, I won't learn much just by reading a book. If nothing else though, Running A Restaurant For Dummies is a fun and informative look at how a restaurant is in fact operated. It's at least a great "how it's done" book, as opposed to being a "how to do it" book. There's a lot of practical information here. How to price items on your menu, how to decide a theme for your operations, how to schedule your staff, how to design your kitchen, what temperatures to avoid when storing food, etc. One thing that amused me, coming from a financial industry background, is that in banks we talk of front office and back office operations. Front office staff talk to clients, bring in revenue, and make money while back office staff do the support work with accounting, operations, computers, etc. The restaurant business thinks the same way: the places customers can access, i.e. the areas that bring in the money, are called the front of the house, while the support areas, including the kitchen and the pantry, are called the back of the house. A really fun book even if you don't want to open your own restaurant.
