Editorial Reviews

Review

"Besides the obviously strong content, I especially like the TIPS, the example stories and the sweet or sours. Also, the summaries and review questions are quite helpful to both teaching, and learning." Walter Wright - Coastal Georgia Community College --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This review is from: Dining Room and Banquet Management (Paperback)

Great guide for those that are just getting into restaurant management. After reading this book, you should feel very competent in the art of front-of-the-house service and etiquette.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ensure not Insure, February 4, 2009

Boston MA - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dining Room and Banquet Management (Paperback)

How can I take a book seriously when the author can't use the words 'insure' and 'ensure' properly? I usually keep my textbooks for reference; this is not one of them.
