Summary
In this landmark book, Danny shares the lessons he learned while developing the winning recipe for his way of doing business � what he calls "Enlightened Hospitality". This innovative business philosophy emphasizes putting the power of hospitality to work in a new and counterintuitive way: the first and most important recipients of hospitality are the people who work for you. In descending order of priority, the next most important receivers of hospitality are guests, the community, suppliers, and investors. This way of setting priorities stands more traditional business models on their heads, but Danny considers it the foundation of every success he and his restaurants have had.
Full of behind-the-scenes history on the creation of Danny's most famous restaurants, and the anecdotes, advice, and lessons he has accumulated on his long and ecstatic journey to the top, Setting the Table is a treasure trove of innovative insights applicable to any business or organization.

A restaurant "Bible" for life and staff support.
In my opinion, a much needed guide for support for all. Professional or not is worth reading.

Get story. Hidden gems
If you are looking for a book that shows you the technical requirements of how to start a restaurant then this might not be what you are looking for. It’s a great biography of opening many restaurants and the emotional journey is fantastic. The golden take away gems are few and far between but they are there.

business book
He is a great restauranteur and his story has strong relevance to others in the hospitality sector. I’d say for someone in restaurants, it is a gem. For those with no connection to the hospitality sector it is only mildly interesting and there are lots of other biographies/memoirs I’d choose from first. Does make me want to visit Gramercy Tavern and Union Square. Great narrator.

Not ideal if you're after learning
The book is mostly about the author's journey to fame. There isn't much to learn here, except perhaps that hospitality should be your main focus and that you should not expand too quickly.
