Useful:
After years of dreaming about owning a restaurant, I finally pursued that dream after moving to Australia. I purchased several books as I had never actually worked in the business and was looking for guidance. This book was an invaluable resource and helped me in developing my business plan and guided me through the initial steps of this endeavor. Most every concern is covered in laymans terms to help amatuer restaurantuers avoid classic pitfalls. The book deserves a good rating, and not the low ratings that other readers hve given it. Rate the book for what it is; a guide for the beginner and not a college textbook that would cover every last detail of a restaurant operation.

Too simplistic:
The language is easy to read, but the precious details are few and far between. I expected a lot more for this price.

Newbs:
Don't buy it if you're already in the restaurant business for some years
