Drawing on his decades of experience as a restaurateur, David Scott Peters offers this specific, hands-on guidebook for independent restaurant owners. Focusing on the operational and cultural aspects of running a restaurant, Peters offers a system—the Restaurant Prosperity Formula™—that allows these businesses to not only survive but thrive in one of the world’s most competitive industries. In this book (which the author calls “the most comprehensive restaurant owner manual you’ve ever read”), restaurant owners will learn the fundamentals needed to accomplish three goals: simplifying operations, making more money than ever before, and bringing balance back to their lives so they can enjoy the benefits of the first two goals!
