What Others Say
Fantastic, practical book
Successful Restaurant Design is great - it is broken down into logical sections, all with incredibly practical advice. The interviews with professionals at the rear are particularly helpful, as are the case studies. The case studies are a wee bit outdated now in terms of style, but the information is still relevant. Its great that the book establishes the need to do market research, as this is an area often overlooked.
Note that this is not a glossy coffee table book - most of the pics are black and white and it is definitely a resource book for learning the basics.
I would highly recommend Successful Restaurant Design for anyone interested in hospitality design.
