You don't need years of experience to own a successful restaurant. You don't need to learn every lesson the hard way. It is far better to learn from the mistakes of others, including the author.
What you do need is a practical, no-nonsense guide that walks you through how to do it; whether you're buying an existing restaurant or starting from scratch, from the perspectives of an investor, owner-operator, or absentee owner.
The book covers the pleasures and problems of absentee ownership, choosing the location, understanding the restaurant lease, the restaurant profit and loss statement, financial red flags, due diligence, controls and systems, choosing and retaining management, and restaurant liabilities. All in a conversational, content-rich format.
