My habits for reading and studying to keep current on consulting best practices for the restaurant industry just hit a brick wall. Armed with my Sharpie accent highlighter, the pages began turning. Every word that Paul Barron @paulbarron crafted in this valuable book @chipotleeffect HAD to be highlighted and remembered. The first 10 pages were completely highlighted in bright yellow. Then the next 20 pages, and after that the following 20 pages. Nothing but yellow. Time to invest in Sharpie. If you are on an ipad or kindle you are OK I guess - but It is still fun to actually own and hold a bright orange book with a cool cover designed by the @mydigitalcoco team.
If you own or are planning a restaurant, foodservice operation, or any type of hospitality or retail BRAND, you will gain wisdom for your business with this book. What The Chipotle Effect will provide may change your Business and your LIFE. Paul connects restaurants, consumers, and current markets with design, technology and the future of the industry. Follow Paul Barron's foot steps on the path to have your brand be relevant and successful.
