The restaurant business can be unforgiving. You might have all the essentials of a good restaurant, but the sub-par chain next door still gets more people through their doors.
If you want to be a big name in town, marketing is the most effective way to reach more eyes and persuade them to try you out. So we chose the marketing books written specifically for restaurant businesses. No more unrelatable case studies and irrelevant marketing drivel – these books will make sense to every restaurant owner.
Most importantly, the ideas and concepts these authors provide are possible to implement, and see great results. We also chose authors who have experience of managing a restaurant business – so you can learn from the best!
