About this listen
In this landmark book, Danny shares the lessons he learned while developing the winning recipe for his way of doing business � what he calls "Enlightened Hospitality". This innovative business philosophy emphasizes putting the power of hospitality to work in a new and counterintuitive way: the first and most important recipients of hospitality are the people who work for you. In descending order of priority, the next most important receivers of hospitality are guests, the community, suppliers, and investors. This way of setting priorities stands more traditional business models on their heads, but Danny considers it the foundation of every success he and his restaurants have had.
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, Setting the Table is a treasure trove of innovative insights applicable to any business or organization.

Restauranteur Inspiration
I loved the breadth of the kinds of restaurants that this covers. An easy-listen and an inspiring subject matter.

I wanted this to be less biographical
I prefer how-to books so found this too biographical. It would be perfect for somebody who is learning how to play the long game in biz after focusing on short term growth hacks. But I've spent my career focused on the slow game and customer delight, so didn't find much new information.

To clinical
This book was interesting and well written, but reads a bit like a text book.
