Book Description
In October 1985, at age 27, Danny Meyer, with a good idea and scant experience, opened what would become one of New York City's most revered restaurants--Union Square Cafe. Little more than twenty years later, Danny is the CEO of one of the world's most dynamic restaurant organizations, which includes 11 unique dining establishments, each at the top of its game. How has he done it? How has he consistently beaten the odds and set the competitive bar in one of the toughest trades around?

In this landmark book, Danny shares the lessons he's learned while developing the winning recipe for doing the business he calls "enlightened hospitality." This innovative philosophy emphasizes putting the power of hospitality to work in a new and counterintuitive way: The first and most important application of hospitality is to the people who work for you, and then, in descending order of priority, to the guests, the community, the suppliers, and the investors. This way of prioritizing stands the more traditional business models on their heads, but Danny considers it the foundation of every success that he and his restaurants have achieved.

Full of behind-the-scenes history on the creation of Danny's most famous restaurants and the anecdotes, advice, and lessons he has accumulated on his long and ecstatic journey to the top of the American restaurant scene, Setting the Table is a treasure trove of innovative insights that are applicable to any business or organization.

Service with a Smile: Dishing with Danny Meyer

Is the customer always right? According to Danny Meyer, one of America's leading restauranteurs, the answer is no--but "they must always feel heard." Named one of the most influential New Yorkers of 2006 by New York magazine, Meyer, the founder and co-owner of 11 of Manhattan's most influential restaurants, including Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, Tabla, The Modern, Blue Smoke, and Shake Shack, has penned Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality, a business book that reads like food lit and equal part personal memoir. Amazon.com senior editor Brad Thomas Parsons took some time from his daily long-distance day-dreaming of Shake Shack and caught up with the ever-gracious Danny Meyer over e-mail to ask about his new book, the Food Network, his favorite cookbooks, insider tips on dining out, and much more.

Book Description

Think investment banks are all the same boring old vanilla (no sprinkles)? Not Bear Stearns. Founded in New York in 1923 by Joseph Ainslee Bear, Robert B. Stearns, and Harold C. Mayer, Bear has gained a distinctive reputation on Wall Street as an aggressive trader and a champion of the little guy. It's also famous for exhorting employees to save paper clips and reuse rubber bands and envelopes, even in the late-'90s bull market (not just interoffice envelopes, either—all envelopes).

If this is a company that piques your interest, then check out this guide, which contains information on:

How things like the paper-clip saving policy translate into what the company stands for
What insiders like—and dislike—about working at Bear Stearns
What the company's history is
How Bear Stearns compares to other top Wall Street firms
What the company's insiders say Bear Stearns recruiters look for in interviews
What ex-CEO and legend Ace Greenberg is up to these days, and whether he's still a presence at Bear

Customer Reviews:

Great advice.......2003-04-10

I liked the way this guide was set up--it was very clear and informative and easy to work my way through. I especially liked the cheat sheet up front that summarized some key points, like strengths of Bear, recruiter advice, insider quotes and salary ranges. I'm now gonna buy a few other guides from WF to help me along with my job hunt and interview research. Cheers!

Like actually being there!.......2003-03-04

This guide was great! I felt like I had the benefit of having interviewed dozens of people from the company, without actually having to do the work. I had my eye on Bear Stearns before, but now I know for sure it's where I want to be!

All nighter.......2000-08-10

This book kept me up all night, I couldn't put it down.

I was so tempted many times while reading to drop the book, run the the computer and start right then in the middle of the night.

Book is very easy to understand, not a lot of those fancy words you hear on CNBC or read in the Wall Street Journal. They take that stuff and bring it down to the level that an individual investor can understand.

Authors very motivating and relate their experiences in the market very well.

This is THE book for IPOs!.......2000-06-05

The authors of this book helped me get started in online IPO trading. I followed their steps and am finding huge success with IPOs! On my first trade, I bought 100 shares at $12 and sold at $20. I was pleased with this profit, because it was considerably more than I get from other "short term" investments. I waited for the right IPO to "freakin' hit!" as the authors say, and hit one that made me over $11,000 profit in about two hours on the first day of trade. I STILL can't believe it! The book clearly details everything you need to know and do to get into trading IPOs online. If you have more questions, the authors even have their own website where you can contact them and get your questions answered. They know their stuff! What a great book!

Outstanding Analysis/ Instruction for Online IPO Investing.......2000-05-31

The authors of this book have done an outstanding job of discussing and explaining techinques for investing in IPOs online. I believe that both the beginning and the experienced IPO investor will find this book to be a tremendous benefit in analyzing their IPO investment strategy. The presentation of the techniques in IPO investing available via the internet is clear, well written and certain help you increase your personal wealth. IPOs are no longer an investment vehicle for the elite investor.
