Reviews from the Nonfiction Book Awards
“It is clear Schneider has experience in a real bar business so it is not just theory. He is very generous in passing on the dos and don’ts to help people be efficient and profitable with their own business. Starting from what you want from the business, the vision behind it, Schneider leads you clearly through stages of funding, what the dreaded health inspectors want, and the crucial need to provide a clean and safe space for customers.”
“I love the checklist and setting standards approach, and Schneider’s comments on design for both front-of-house and behind the scenes. There are lots of tried and tested pointers to being successful—75 lessons in all—so the book is well structured. It does exactly what it says on the cover…”
“I am not in the bar business but after reading this book, it gives me encouragement to startup a business! Schneider has structured the book in a very understandable way and not to make this look scary. Of course, getting into any business is a bit scary but when you have excellent guidance like this book, it makes life a little easier.”
