Review: Why Do You Want to Start a Restaurant Business - 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.
Review: Don't start a restaurant before reading this guide. - “How to Start, Run & Grow a Successful Restaurant Business” by author Tim Hoffman is a great guide for anyone even considering opening their own restaurant. There are tips throughout the book that will definitely save you money and headaches when entering the difficult foodservice world. Mr. Hoffman does a good job outlining the proper steps to take when making the significant time and financial commitment necessary to succeed. Opening a new restaurant or improving an already operating one will require hard work and fresh ideas; Why reinvent the wheel, (or the wok?). Be sure to have your eyes wide open when you begin your business. Read this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy For Everyone
*by N***. on October 12, 2018*

This book offered main ways to understand and and develop your restaurant concept. There were detailed definitions and explanations of types of restaurants as well as ways to buy and lease your own business. There were also alternatives which were very helpful when considering lower cost ways to realize a restaurant dream. The author writes clearly and concisely and with a very easy to follow format. I obtained the digital format, which makes it easy to follow on my computer and take notes as well. If you're starting out, and want a great read to get you going on your dream, or simply want to know exactly what you need without fluff and filler, then this book may work for you!
