Restaurant Reality A Manager's Guide

Rating:
Summary: Negative, cynical & pessimistic junk!
Review: As an owner/professional in a hospitality business I HOPED to find some lessons and guidance in this book...I found a burned out husband/wife team who could do nothing more than share miserable annecdotes. No positive lessons, no gainfull knowledge, no advantage from experience. If you want to be talked out of owning a restaurant, or any other small business, this is the book for you. Just don't judge your fellow man too harshly, after reading this book you'll have little faith in the goodness, the potential or the opportunity in business and people.

Summary: Funny stuff
Review: I was in a class Lefever taught, so I was skeptical of the reasons he assigned this book. However, it turned out to be one of the best reads I ever had in college. I read the book in a week. The title says something about reality, so prepare yourself. This book shows the good, the bad, and the ugly of the restaurant business. Oh, and the funny too.

If you are interested in an eye-opening expose on what the textbooks don't tell you about owning your own restaurant, take a look at "Reality." If anything, it is good f
