"The
QuickBooks guide is awesome! I was familiar with a lot of the
procedures but I can tell you that I will be using the Full
Service Chart of Accounts and input procedures described. I
knew I was doing things "wrong" but I just wasn't sure how to
clear it all up and your guide has helped tremendously."
Josh Devane, Devane's Italian Restaurant, Indio, CA
"Restaurant Resource Group
provided me with priceless information and guidance, enhancing
my current QuickBooks/Excel system. John’s approach to
QuickBooks is streamlined and to the point, and his ability to
write a software/accounting guide that is down-to-earth and
informative is cleverly entertaining. Yes, I said
entertaining...It's obvious he has done his homework! Grazia! "
David Militello, Tello's Trattoria, South Haven, MI
"John Nessel's guide turns
QuickBooks into an ideal restaurant accounting program. It's
logically organized, easy to follow and covers almost any
possible contingency. This book will save you time & will keep
your accounting headaches to a minimum. This has been one
of the better
purchases I've made!"
John
Agress, Tropical Treateries LLC, Estero, FL
"I am finally reading through the Restaurant Operator's Guide
to QuickBooks and looking at your memorized transaction
templates after purchasing the book awhile ago. It is sooooo
valuable. Thanks so much for doing this. I am familiar with
accounting concepts and used Peachtree for another business
years ago (the old DOS version!!) but your guide is a HUGE
timesaver for the setup and learning curve. I especially love
your notes and cautions."
Robin Saunders Ryan, The
Saunders Group, Chaska, MN
"I’ve tried several times to
use QuickBooks for my restaurant, but could never get it setup
to do what I wanted it to do. I have had QuickBooks for
several years and was giving it one last try! I was looking on
the Internet for information on General Ledger account numbers
for restaurants because the ones in QuickBooks just don’t
work, and I found YOUR site. After downloading and reading
your guide I knew it was what I had been looking for. It is
written so that “we” can understand, and it answers all those
questions I had on using QuickBooks in the restaurant
industry. I now have one less thing to turn gray over. Running
a restaurant is a life style, and this guide just made our
life a little easier THANK YOU!"
John and Kathi Leeds, CM Tuggs Grub n Pub, Port Deposit, MD
