Quote: "This book is designed to provide you with practical tips and insights to hire the best team in food service."
And it's really a lot of work, so if you can't fit all of the steps they list into your busy schedule, they oh so sweetly insinuate, you could just let them hire a crew for you...
This is the sort of book the word "e-book" tends to bring to mind. On the "plus" side, perhaps: it's short. On the "minus" side, most likely: although it might list something you might have forgotten, it probably has nothing new to tell you. On the "plus" side: it's not controversial--it's a nice summary of the conventional wisdom. On the "minus" side: it all leads up to the punchline, "Or you could just pay me to..."
If you did not go to business school, if you just saved up enough from running a snack wagon or doing a line cook's job to invest in your own little stall in a food court somewhere, you are going to be a bit of an "accidental manager" and you are going to need a book like this one. And you undoubtedly have the street sense to ignore the promotional content. So this book should fit into a market niche and serve some good purpose for the person who is currently in the place where my adoptive brother was, thirty-some years ago.
If you pursued an arts or sciences degree and think the whole idea of studying business in college, as distinct from getting an office job and learning from the boss, is deeply tacky, this book may be good for a giggle. Or for a checklist, if you happen to have a gig where you're asked to help hire people.
