Four Star Restaurant Marketing Cookbook -
Recipes for Restaurateurs™

2010 Self Published Book Awards Judges Comments

This book is gorgeous, well-written, creative, and technical –it leaves no stone unturned.

Duke’s advice is scalable, something restaurant owners/managers need to liven their marketing and sales strategies, and appropriate for trendy night spots and franchises, as well as neighborhood cafes and small catering, personal chef, or specialty food retailers.

This is a fantastic, well organized, easy-to-read marketing guide for those restaurant owners/managers to consider in this unpredictable economy. 

Duke doesn’t drown her readers with pages of boring , dense text; rather she leads by example with this colorful “recipe book”: format, complete with colorful photos, beautifully formatted text—particularly for those interested in the food business. 

What is valuable about this text—particularly for students—it offers a sneak peek into the business and technical aspects, and will help creative types work on the “logical” and critical thinking skills they need in the restaurant world.
