Synopsis
From the Author
Start in the right direction, and get the "inn-side"We four authors each had different reasons for becoming innkeepers. What we left behind, what we found, and what we made of it tell the story of what innkeeping is about. For every innkeeper, the story is different. And that, in a way, is the point. So, whether you've already decided to take the plunge or have just started to dream about the possibilities, this is the book to read and study. Just a small taste: *You'll learn and refine how to evaluate and buy property; *how to renovate, furnish, and launch a new inn; *how to market and promote your business; *how to make your venture fulfilling for your guests and yourself. This revised and expanded THIRD edition also presents: 24 easy-to-use checklists; a chapter on including dinner service; essential tips on complying with the latest laws and regulations and hard-core, up-to-date financial information (from the Professional Association of Innkeepers International's biennial, national operations/financial study).
