  2. Now in a new and substantially revised edition, Starting A Small Restaurant: How To Make Your Dream A Reality by Daniel Miller (co-founder of the Grey Fox Inn, a successful small restaurant in Cambria, California) is an encouraging, informative, and practical guide to opening a successful small restaurant. Informing the reader of many necessities, tactics and strategies involved in opening, maintaining, and publicizing a restaurant, Starting A Small Restaurant is an easy-to-use and comprehensive reference replete with every “must-know” detail of opening and operating a new restaurant business. Starting A Small Restaurant is very strongly recommended for anyone anticipating beginning their own restaurant business no matter their degree of previous experience or expertise.

  3. Overall, this is a good book for someone who wants to open up a small restaurant. There are a lot of good tips in the book, but the author does a poor job of going over the financial difficulties that most new owners face. The menu design tips are also poor–the author recommends that a menu list item prices from cheapest to most expensive–which goes against industry advice–this just makes it easier for a customer to find the cheapest thing on your menu. But the nuts and bolts are there. If you’re a small time operator and you want a good overview on how to open up your own restaurant, this is a concise read.
