The Heart of Hospitality

Not sure if this is the right fit?

Consider Setting the Table by Danny Meyer. Recommended by 15 sources.

“Part memoir, part management manifesto, this book takes you inside Danny Meyer’s rise from novice to celebrated restaurateur. The core argument—that putting employees first drives outstanding guest experiences—is illustrated through candid stories of openings, mistakes, and daily decisions. You’ll likely take away a nuanced understanding of hospitality as a deliberate, teachable mindset. The downside: the anecdotal, sometimes self-congratulatory tone may wear thin, and sections on the mechanics of restaurant operations can feel like inside baseball if you’re not in the industry.”
