Customer Reviews

Excellent

This book is a very easy read, and highly informative. There's plenty of ideas and the writer has considered many of the "little things" that make a big impact, as well as the fundamentals!

Great place to start learning about the restaurant/ bar industry

This book is full packed with information. It is a great 1st book for anyone serious about the restaurant/ bar industry. It has lots of useful tips, and is broken up into logical chapters for easy reference.

This is an excellent resource for newbies AND veterans.

Just don't look at the cover (the cheeziest cover I think I've ever seen on a book; I literally had to tear mine off to avoid laughing or having any of its "uncoolness" rub off on me).Anyway, I own a pretty sucessful bar in Santa Barbara California (Indochine on State Street) and bought this book when I was reading up in anticipation of starting a new restaurant (w/ a bar in it).While the book assumes the reader knows little or nothing about the business, it has a wealth of information for readers of all levels of experience. I was apprised/reminded of numerous aspects of the biz that caused me to tweak my own bar (to largely sucessful result). Quite simply, this book made/saved me significant money.I highly recommend.Christian Hunter

Start learning here.

This book is both intensely informative and remarkably well crafted. While Fier's book assumes the reader has no knowledge of the Bar business, it is written intelligently and without condescension. Like any good textbook, _Start and Run a Money-Making Bar_ starts at the beginning and offers a thorough education covering all aspects of the Bar owning business.

An easy read full of information a real value for you.

Well organized and, easy to read . This book has as much information as books at twice the price THANKS Bruce!
