Who better to teach you how to start your restaurant than the guy who wrote the book? --Howard Cannon, author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Starting a Restaurant©, found in 76 countries around the world!

Do you dream of starting a restaurant?

Restaurants are one of America’s greatest success stories - and still one of America's greatest entrepreneurial opportunities.

McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Chili's, Subway, Pizza Hut, Ruth’s Chris, and hundreds of others, were once simply an entrepreneur’s dream written on a piece of paper, starting with one restaurant location. They dared to dream and took the necessary steps to make their dreams become a wonderful reality.

Your restaurant dream could become the next hot concept!

But, do you know what steps to take? Do you know how and where to get the funding you need? Do you have a punch list to get from “here” to “open for business”?

Since 1987, we have opened restaurants of all types and sizes in markets across the country and around the world, for many of America's largest restaurant brands, as well as dozens of independents; and, our books on starting a restaurant can be found in bookstores in 76 countries around the world.
