![]() The Restaurant Manager's Handbook: How to Set Up, Operate, and Manage a Financially Successful Food Service Operation 4th Edition - With Companion CD-ROM $79.95 this book covers almost everything possible, i'm sure that there may be some finer points that are missed but i have not read them yet... way way much info. great book to purchase worth every penny. ![]() The Restaurant Dream? $21.95 I am not much of a reader but I can honestly say that this book was incredibly difficult to put down. If you're like me, and you've had a life-long dream of opening a restaurant...take a look. We've all heard that the restaurant biz is "a lot of work" and "not as glamorous as you think." But we're different, right? Our concept is too good to be unsuccessful, right? Not so fast! At least not without a good understanding of what it really takes. Sure, a good concept, good food, and good location are crucial. But what about the not-so-glamorous details, like dealing with contractors and landlords, kitchen layout, food inspection, etc..? The list goes on and on and what Mr. Simon brilliantly does is give you a very honest and detailed description of the trials and tribulations of such a venture. He takes you through his emotions and tasks from concept through development of a restaurant venture he and his team took on and does it in a way that is easy for anyone to comprehend. Mr. Simon doesn't encourage you nor does he discourage you from your dream. He merely educates you on what is essential to know before beginning the pursuit. This is certainly a MUST-READ for any entrepreneur or aspiring restaurateur. ![]() Fisher-Price Elmo's Restaurant $109.99 We bought this for my daughter's 3rd birthday because she had been asking for it and she just loves it! She received it a month ago and she plays with it daily. My 5 and 6 year old children enjoy playing with it too! They really like that there are two sides so they can all take turns playing restaurant owner, chef, and customer! I highly recommend this toy as it is very entertaining and educational! A must have if you are a sesame street fan. ![]() Restaurant $14.99 It was not horrible, but this movie was really cheesy and had no substantial plot. I was rather disappointed. It was worth seeing but only if you get it for a very low price or catch it on t.v. |
