The Restaurant Man: Salt Bar

Restaurateur Russell Norman helps struggling newcomers to the trade find their feet. Fifty-year-old Debbie in Macclesfield loves Sweden and its food and thinks everyone else will as well. So, she has sunk her retirement nest egg into a property and hired a chef off the internet. But is basing a restaurant on your favourite holiday destination a sound business decision? Russell Norman is forced to give Debbie a reality check and tries to convince her to stop treating the business like a hobby and start thinking like a professional. He is shocked to find that Debbie has not faced the facts of her finances and struggles to get her to tackle her spreadsheets. With rash hiring decisions, no consideration of her service and no marketing before the launch night, Russell worries that Debbie is going to lose money hand over fist from the very beginning
