 Good, but not great August 30, 2006

"Starting a Small Restaurant" gives any novice a good starting point for considerations in this fast-paced world. The Author, Daniel Miller, has had mixed career employment, not all of which are in the food service industry. Danial co-founded the Grey Fox Inn, a large undertaking. I gave the book 2 stars because on some subjects Miller is simply vague or incorrect in my experience. For instance, Miller states that "People steal food from restaurants." Not necessarily true, but only gives solutions of locking storage areas (ludicrous), or deal honestly with employees, whatever that means. Another subject I found unenlightening was the equipment discussion on a deep fat fryer. Dirty and dangerous was about as far as the text went.
It is a good book, just keep in mind that there are other solutions than the ones Miller advises.
