Very thorough, well-organized and easy to read. I read this for my Food Purchasing class. This book has truly helped me to understand the purchasing aspect of the hospitality industry. I would definitely recommend for someone who is trying to move up within the hospitality industry.

Like most text-books, informative but dry.
