A book to help you decide whether to buy more restaurant books! 
The book is only about 180 pages of text (when you exclude the appendices, etc.), but it's to-the-point and hits all the essentials. This is a very nice little book to read when you are first contemplating opening a restaurant, then, if you're not discouraged, you'll likely go on to purchase other restaurant books that are 500-1000 pages long instead. But those longer books will have roughly the same chapters, just more details. Don't be too put off either by it's being first published many years ago, it's... more info

Mediocre and naive, at best 
Such absurd statements such as, "Let us consider that you have $100,000, and that that amount is exactly what you require to fulfill your dream. At the present interest rates, your money, in a very safe term deposit, will earn approximately $9,000 each year." If this were true, no one would be investing in the economy and inflation would be out of control. By "very safe", I think more like a savings account with 1% return. The book is also full of lists with no explanation of the items or terms.

VERY beginning must read 
This book was great, in my opinion, because i have NO clue.I'm sure for anyone w/ more business operation knowledge it lends less assistance.I was glad to find a extreme basic book that gets me up to speed and lets me know the basics before i move into the next and intermediate level reading on this topic. It's cheap - and it presents information that COULD change your mind or confirm your ideas ... good investment :)

Yow to Open your Own Restaurant...A Loser of a Guide
This is a very skinny book written by two men who obviously have restaurant experience, but who have very poor writing/communications skills. This book is not a guide to setting up the spreadsheets necessary to open a restaurant. It is doubtful that the authors even know how to open up Lotus or Excel. The amount of essential items left out are humongous. Watch yourself! Not a recommendable expenditure of any money whatsoever on this crummy attempt at producing a useful "book". Rating: eight onions.
