INTRODUCTION

In my 28 years as a restaurateur I discovered that owners and managers tend to have big egos. People with big egos do not tend to take advice. It is a fact that the failure rate of restaurants is one of the highest of any business. If you ever had, or have, the dream of being the proud operator of a successful restaurant and your dream is turning into a nightmare, maybe I can help.

As you may have found out, turning a profit in the restaurant business is no easy task. It takes long hours of hard work, and even a little bit of luck when it comes to some things.

Very recently, I read an article about blogging.  It said, if your motive is to make money, then you might as well quit right now. The article went on to say that you must be passionate about what you are writing about.

For some crazy reason, I love the restaurant business. I am convinced that it takes a certain kind of manager to be good at this business. Intelligence is almost not a factor. I have seen arrogance get in the way of intelligence over and over. Laziness comes in a close second.

I am blogging as a hobby. My intention is to share what I have learned over the years. I hope that some of you will enjoy my lessons, and that you find some of the information useful.
