Become a better manager or owner by understanding how these detailed costs drive the big picture.

"This is essentially a business consultant in a quick-to-access book! It's what I do every time I am hired as a consultant to a business having problems; I run down this same list to find the opportunities hidden in the P&L and balance sheet. Now you can be your own auditor and consultant and pass the knowledge onto your subordinates." —Jeffrey L. Uher; Uher Hospitality, LLCFood service consultant and expert on gaining efficiencies, controlling costs, and improving team building.
