'F&B operators across the country are increasingly familiar with websites that are solely dedicated to reviewing establishments.

'I’m going to be blunt. The best solution to the problem of how to navigate the dangerous waters of hiring a friend is just to avoid it. It’s hard, and it doesn’t usually end well. I hired a good friend early on in a former business, and it was much harder than I thought it would be. He ended up not having the skills I thought he did, and I ended up unable to afford to keep him on.

'Startups are, almost by definition, cash-strapped. Given that, keeping a tight rein on expenses is in most cases a smart thing to do. But there’s one area where you don’t want to be overly stingy in allocating spending. Taxes. On the one hand, good tax help should not cost you a fortune.
