Review: If you want to know how the restaurant business works, read it. - I bought this book for some people who bought a restaurant, but who knew nothing about the restaurant business. I read through the book and found there to be a wealth of information contained therein.

I read through the book and found there to be a wealth of information contained therein. Unfortunately, in the case of the people I bought it for, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." Don't be an onion head, read the book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it! *by O***7 on January 17, 2012* Love this book a lot! it has a lot of good ideas. I've read it so many times and I cant wait to start a restaurant. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not for if you have already worked in the restaurant industry *by M***N on September 21, 2013* This is a great book for those who are new to the world of restaurants and/or management but if you have spent any time in the industry and have some common sense this is not the book for you. It does cover almost every possible arena but they are brief overviews and mostly refer the reader to other books on the subject for more in depth information. It sounds to me that if you really want to be successful and you have experience then take a class or read a book on bookkeeping/accounting instead and save your money on this guide. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fi/products/10029803-the-complete-idiots-guide-to-starting-a-restaurant-2nd-edition](https://www.desertcart.fi/products/10029803-the-complete-idiots-guide-to-starting-a-restaurant-2nd-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Finland* *Store origin: FI* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
