Thinking about my new restaurant was overwhelming. I was confused by themes, locations, and building codes until I read Restaurant Design. This book showed me how to determine the best locations and assemble the right team to bring my vision into fruition. I learned how to deal with lagging construction schedules and even pick colors schemes, which encourage profits. The beauty of this book is that it breaks down the intricacies of the entire design process into laymen's terms. You are provided with enough technical information to work with your team effectively. Thanks to Restaurant Design, I am confident that I can do this.

This massive volume is massive because it is printed in large type with a lot of space between the lines. It is so big it is hard to handle and the same content could be available in much less space if it had been laid out properly. In addition it lacks the numerous photos and particularly the kitchen layouts one would expect in such a huge tomb. Sometimes a layout or a photo is worth a thousand words. Quality of a text is not decided by the weight.

Great book for diving into the world of food service. Great tips and advice. I found the information on hiring professionals to build and design your restaurant quite helpful.
