Setting the Table
By Daniel Meyer
Categories: Business & Money
Danny Meyer opened his first restaurant, Union Square Cafe, in New York at 27, and went on to found the Union Square Hospitality Group, which created Gramercy Tavern and Shake Shack. Setting the Table tells how he did it. At its heart is his idea of "enlightened hospitality": take care of your employees first, then guests, community, suppliers, and investors. Full of hands-on advice and stories, it offers lessons for any manager or entrepreneur, not just restaurateurs.
