Download or read book Entrepeneurial Insanity in the Restaurant Business written by Roger McManus and published by Planner Press. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roger McManus, a battle-scarred, veteran entrepreneur, teams up with Chef Mark Garcia to develop an entirely different perspective on the subject of restaurant ownership. Entrepreneurial Insanity in the Restaurant Business challenges the reader to keep the art of cooking and food design in perspective, but to get real about the business of selling food! The ideas in this book will forever change how the motivated restaurateur will view his or her profession -- and life. The concept behind the Entrepreneurial Insanity series rests on that premise; love what you do, but work toward having a life and a business that are separate entities. Chances are very good that someday these two entities will want (or need) to take divergent paths. Mark and Roger have created a book that makes the distinction between owning a restaurant and owning a business asset very clear. It is the difference between owning a small business and being an entrepreneur! This book lays out the case for, and the strategy by which, professional restaurateurs can grow their business and their freedom.

From this revelation, I designed a step-by-step process for aspiring and seasoned entrepreneurs to follow when starting a restaurant.Needless to say, when I started to apply this strategy, blank stares turned into lightbulbs.With this said, I now would like to share with you my secret sauce. In this book, I outline ten sequential steps that should be completed to create a solid foundation for starting your restaurant.
