Customer Reviews
Not a restaurant book
I have never been more tired by any book in my life. Unfortunately, too much dwelling on completely unnecessary details in my opinion. I’m not really interested in the author’s family life because I wanted to read about the restaurant business. I understand that this shaped the author’s attitude to business and so on but I haven’t even managed to reach half of the book because of that. It felt more like a biography than a book about the business.
