  • How to navigate through the complex start-up process
  • How to calculate food and beverage costs and control expenses
  • Integrating new technologies into the bar/tavern business
  • Décor, design and event features that draw customers

From a winning sample business plan to how to get the most out of your employees, this book is a must-have for entrepreneurs who want to turn their dreams of tavern ownership into reality.
