Shop Book of the Month How to run a successful pub Author Mark S. Elliott has spent 25 years working in various management roles within the tenanted and leased divisions of the UK's largest breweries and pub companies. His extensive knowledge and day-to-day involvement with pubs and publicans make him well qualified to know what is required to run a successful pub. He shares his knowledge and many 'insider tips' with you in this book. This is aimed at people coming into the industry for the first time. But because it so comprehensively ticks off just about everything debutants need to know, existing licensees might also find it useful. It could prove invaluable for filling in those gaps in knowledge or perhaps finding out where they might be going wrong if things aren’t quite working out as well as they planned.
