My name is Tommy Bradburn. After spending 53 years in the restaurant business and conducting many restaurant seminars, I wrote a book titled How to Open a Re$taurant and Keep it Open. Shortly after that I went to a studio and recorded four cassette tapes which became CD's and finally MP3 files. Those files really cemented the importance of this package. Together, I have sold around 2,000 copies. However, these were sold at seminars or on ebay or with an indie publisher and I have also found that restaurant supply houses are very good locations for sales.


There are 1 million-plus restaurant locations in the US employing 15.6 million workers, so the market is huge. This restaurant series includes How to build sales, profits, (food cost, labor cost, supply cost and the other six accounts. One MP3 file consists entirely with employee motivation and customer service. There is also a section on how the restaurant business can affect the family, pitfalls and victories in the business.


In conclusion; I learned many years ago that the independent restaurant owner/manager does not have the extensive training/knowledge that a franchise operator has.
