Running a Restaurant for Dummies is a very informative read. I read it on my Kindle. I checked it out from the Wharton County Library through their E-book program. This is a great idea.

The book is very good, but some of the charts and tables suffer when transferred to the Kindle version. There are a few instances of formatting problems, but overall the Kindle version is great.

Running a Restaurant for Dummies gives the would-be restaurant owner sort of a crash course in running a restaurant. The book is an excellent resource for any restaurant start-up.

There is a good bit of information packed within the book. However, the book does not miss a chance to promote other books in the “For Dummies” series. In fact, one begins to expect it. A handy resource list would be helpful.

I believe anyone who plans to start a restaurant should read this book.

I flipped through most of the pages and read quite a few tidbits. I have love/hate for the dummies books. I'm surprised this book didn't cover how much the owners should pay themselves and didn't cover who should get what percentage of tips. I could not find the word 'tips' mentioned anywhere.
