Jos recounts his challenging expansion of a Chicago restaurant franchise to Mexico City, sharing hard-won lessons on building a profitable business. Through chapters, it covers market research, calculated risks, trust-building, organizational culture, productivity tracking, cost management, data leverage, and mindset mastery. Blending personal anecdotes with practical advice, Jos emphasizes strategic execution over passion alone, highlighting overlooked "insider secrets" for sustainability. Ideal for aspiring restaurateurs, the book inspires resilience amid cultural and financial hurdles, though it occasionally lacks depth. A motivational guide for navigating the competitive food industry.
