description: Eating out has gone from a special occasion treat to a daily occurrence for many people. Cooking TV shows usher viewers into restaurant kitchens and freezers, while smart phones allow diners to analyze wine list prices before placing an order. The author, who developed and sells restaurant management software attributes restaurant success and longevity to managing four factors: ingredients, beverages, space, and an "X factor" unique to each entity. Two chapters detail the real-life "Underground Culinary Tour," an exclusive New York City tasting tour, overseen by Mogavero, for a select group of restaurant executives. Other chapters explore how detailed income and expense data can minimize waste, manage inventory, help with training personnel, and uncover theft.
