On: Turning a Failing Business (Restaurant) Around

[petercooper]

Ridiculously short summary: Different markets respond to different techniques.

This is as true in taking a restaurant from NYC to the boonies as it is in shifting (or porting) a Web app from B2C to B2B.

Part of getting a business advantage is to realize this and to take advantage of your competitors who don't realize it ;-)

I also got the feeling that the first restaurant could have been world class and made huge dollars, but they just didn't try hard enough (or something). The second one sounds decidedly mediocre.
