Checklists, profiles of successful bakeries, plus an appendix of further reading, baking/culinary schools, professional associations, a model personnel manual, and a list of software supplement the text.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - RambleThere is some good information in here, but the author really seems to enjoy listening to himself talk. He rambles quite a bit, and because of that I just leafed through the second half of the book looking for important bits. If they cut out all the the passages where he pats himself on the back and brags about his success, it'd be a good book. Rating:  - Great bookIf you look for a book that explains clearly and concretely the baker job and how to run a bakery business, buy this book. It's very useful and very practical. Rating: - Great read for daughterMy daughter will be opening up a bakery and this book is a valuable tool. After just reading a couple of pages she announced, "this is just what I needed." Rating: - Editing a bit sloppy but message clear - BUY THIS BOOK!Too many books written for people interested in starting their own business are written by professional writers who have no conception of just how deeply one's determination must be if they are to succeed. This book is not one of those. Zachary Schat has done a great job explaining the pitfalls and rewards of owning your own bakery. I re-lived my early days in starting my bakery, Billy Boy's, that one day would venture before the world as Billy Bob's Pot Pies fast food franchise. Although this book concentrates on his experience in bread-baking, it is general enough that it can be used in any sort of bakery and many deli's and restaurants. [...] Again, this is an excellent book that I will keep in my reference library.
