Restaurant Success by the Numbers: A Money-Guy’s Guide to Opening the Next Hot Spot by Roger Fields

We recently invested in a start-up restaurant, so I wanted an overview of the business. There’s some good detail in here on budgeting and other numbers games, which was what I’m interested in.

I think if I were actually the one starting and running the restaurant, this book would be inadequate. But, as a beginner’s intro, it’s pretty solid.

Also, people who work in restaurants are paid terribly, if his sample budgets are to be believed. So, remember to tip your servers! I’ll be here all week!
