Restaurant Bootcamp, Bootcamp Your Dreams into Reality

All day Industry Conference slated for May 13 at Fort Mason

? An intensive day of classes, roundtables and networking, produced by

San Francisco-based Five Star Restaurant Consultants and a group of local sponsors

? Debuts at San Francisco's Fort Mason Center on Tuesday, May 13, 2008 - 8:30 am to 6:30 pm

? Arms novice restaurateurs with how-to basics while "elite" training focuses on issues for those already in business

? Dawson, a restaurant consultant and teacher, created the symposium after realizing her students - both potential and established restaurateurs - had identical challenges. "I realized very quickly that I was giving the same advice over and over," Dawson said, citing undercapitalization as a common industry mistake. With restaurants failing at a rate of sixty percent in the first three years, Dawson hopes Restaurant Bootcamp will educate attendees on how to overcome the odds.
