This book is for those who want a better restaurant and a better life.

With the horrific failure rates of restaurants, how can you ensure yours will not only survive but grow and thrive? If your restaurant sucks, it is because you suck at running it; 100 percent.

As a Pararescueman, his training developed a keen sense of purposeful and fast decision making. In the military, he learned the phrase, "embrace the suck".

Continuing with his successful Your Restaurant Sucks series, Donald Burns, The Restaurant Coach, digs down to the root of all business problems and that is culture.
