I used this book to teach financial management of restaurantes to pupils in a culinary school. It was very usefull and I highly recommend it, especially the chapter where you find the different forms of calculating the price of a dish.

This book provides confidence for people out here (like myself) that are considering starting their own business. No other texts on the subject have covered the pertinent issues as comprehensively as I would have liked. Very information and truly helpful.

I have read a few titles in regard to restauarnt management and start up to fine tune my restaurant management know how to better my odds at this cut throat industry. After going thorugh this book, it gave some really good insight, and more importantly knowing the numbers really helped provide substance for the strategy and management mantra from other reading. This is more like a textbook, so it is not for everyone, but for what the authors set out to achieve - Restaurant Finacial Basic it is pretty spot on.
To improve, I will suggest some simple but intersting case study to supplement, this will really engage the reader and tied up the teaching in the book nicely.

I am a culinary student who is working in the industry. Being in culinary school also requires management courses other than cooking classes so any helpful textbook that relates to the real world helps. I am not that great with math and this book breaks down profit and loss statements. (Formulas and all) It reads like a text book because well, it's a text book! (It's easy to follow) I definitely plan on using the book as a reference as a future manager/owner in the industry.

I am an accountant and this books gives me great ideas to share with my restaurant clients

This is an excellent book that must be a part of your business library. As essential as any cookbook

It provided me with the guidelines I was searching for. I needed a model for structure.

This book is like a textbook, not very interesting, but informative nonetheless. If you want a good reference on the topic, this is it. However, I would not recommend it to anyone who is not already familiar with the basics of accounting.

The book hasn't been used yet for our group discussion at work, but I've looked through it and I'm excited about the book. Its easy to read and understand.
