So, I do not think that Jon Taffer is the world's best restaurateur - BUT anyone studying business should read this book. All too often we see a ivory tower idea behind business decisions, while Job lays out pretty clear objectives. Do I think he is right all of the time? No but he maintains a strategy which more business schools should focus on.This is a good read (and if he actually wrote it as opposed to a ghost, he is a more articulate writing than I would have guessed). Do not go out and think that he is teaching you how to run your business but listen to his ideas and customer focus, ve. "Freakonomics sits down for a really good drink." according to W. Frazier. Wow. There's a lot of great information in this book. Taffer gives an all-points overview of how to create a great bar or restaurant. (It's really interesting from a customer's point-of-view as well.) The book supplies extremely useful information backed by research and practical experience. It's like hiring a consultant for the price of a book. The narrator of the audio book is good, however his voice just doesn't match Taffer's distinctive tone. The audio book needs Taffer's voice.
