Summary
The restaurant business is both an established field and also an evolving one. Today more people eat out, having less time to cook at home. With the advent of the celebrity chef, many people are interested in trying new and different foods. The expansive cable television networks provide entertainment in the form of "reality shows" revolving around winning money to open a dream restaurant or be top chef. The globalization of food distribution allows people everywhere to become familiar with ingredients never before available, stimulating their interest in food as more than sustenance. Dining out becomes entertainment as well as filling the need for nourishment. With over 80 combined years of cooking experience, Meyer and Vann have seen the trials of opening and running restaurants-those they have worked in and those they have designed and helped to open. They bring this expertise to How to Open and Operate a Restaurant and will take the reader through al the aspects of opening and running a restaurant including many examples of pitfalls to avoid, rules to follow and guidelines for success.

Summary
Increase sales by not competing? No, this isn't some sort of New Age marketing mysticism. It's part of an amazingly successful, commonsense approach to restaurant marketing that author Bill Marvin call guest-based marketing. What exactly does "guest-based" mean? It's really pretty simple. The dynamic marketing approach described in this book is based on the notion that in the restaurant business, customer satisfaction is the real bottom line, and that any successful sales-building effort begins on the floor with the guests you've already won. In Guest-Based Marketing you won't find clever new ways to squander your precious resources trying to beat the competition and steal their customers away. You will find sales-boosting techniques that will help you to motivate your customers to keep coming back for more, even if it means driving an extra mile or two. Using numerous case studies and real-life anecdotes, Marvin describes proven techniques to help you identify and build on your strengths, build customer loyalty, increase the number of visits customers make, and get your customers to spread the word and attract new customers. Marvin teaches you how to launch an effective customer loyalty program and use an array of incentives to build sales. He helps you hone your all-important people skills. You'll learn techniques for remembering guests' names, as well as their individual likes and dislikes. He shows you how to conduct customer surveys and make the best use of the information you gather.
