  • Teneshia Williams

    This was a very good read I like the fact that you are able to skip around the book and not have to go page for page It gave me a lot of insight on what I can be adding to my business right now It helped me to understand some of the rules and laws that are applied While reading I was able to develop a concept for my spot that really gave me the look that I am going for I recommend this book to anyone looking to go into or already in the bar business This is a must read

    I found this to be an excellent overviewintroduction to the world of barspubstaverns Note I did not list restaurants that is an entirely different animalWhat this book provides for the reader in it's 300 pages is the 100000 foot view at running a service based enterprise The authors cover everything from selecting a name writing your business plan financing obtaining euipment hiring and training your staff and making sure you reap the benefits of repeat businessI have a few other starting a business books that are focused on starting one's own brewery or brewpub and this book albeit generalized would fit nicely on the same shelf; however for the person who says to themselves hey I am yet another who wants to open a bar and uit my real job this book would serve them well to ensure they have the wherewithal to open a pub After all running anything in the customer service industry is a real job if not the king of real jobs

    just kicking around that old pipe dream book was pretty good probably would prepare you to open your own bar than anything next to apprenticing under a bar manager anyway
