"Alex Susskind and Mark Maynard have combined powers to create an
invaluable guide to managing the sometimes chaotic and always
challenging environment of a restaurant, from the practicalities of
lighting to the intangibles of guest experience. This coupling of
data-driven research with anecdotal storytelling, informed by two
rich careers in different corners of the industry, make for a
compelling and dynamic account that speaks to readers working the
floor as much as those in the classroom."
*Danny Meyer, CEO, Union Square Hospitality Group, Founder of Shake
Shack, and author of Setting the Table*
"The Next Frontier of Restaurant Management is of the highest
quality and appropriate for Service Management courses at the
graduate level."
*Richard Ghiselli, Purdue University*
"Both authors have extensive restaurant backgrounds. I highly
recommend this book for Services Marketing, Human Resources,
Strategic Management, Catering, and general seminar-type
courses."
*Mark Bonn, Florida State University*
