Reviews “Finally we have an accounting/finance book that takes a practical approach. . . . What Dr. Jung has done is give us a textbook that emphasizes the practical skills that operators need to have to be leaders in the industry. I wish that I had this book to learn from when I was a young restaurant manager. It would have made my journey as an operator much easier. It wasn’t until I learned the language of the finance world that I really became successful. Having been an executive with three major corporations (almost twenty years with Walt Disney World Co.), I can tell you that the lessons of this text are crucial for every leader’s ability to achieve their goals. Dr. Jung has laid out the book in an easy-to-follow manner that allows the student to understand the building blocks of accounting and finance. The case study approach allows the learner to absorb the information and realize how to apply it in the world that they will soon be entering. Whether it be revenue, expenses, ROI, or budgeting, the lessons of this text will soon become everyday living for our students. They need this information.” —From the Foreword by Duncan R. Dickson, EdD, Associate Professor, Tourism, Events, and Attractions, Rosen College of Hospitality Management, University of Central Florida, Orlando “A fresh and pioneering effort to provide business practitioners and/or students who have limited knowledge of accounting or finance with a framework that develops a bird’s eye view over business operations by consolidating necessary financial aspects. . . . The book’s strength is the gradual progress that connects the concepts of financial accounting to managerial accounting, and finally to that of financial management. By doing so, this book introduces the entire apparatus of concepts and relevant techniques as tools to use in management decision-making process. For this reason, although it is titled Restaurant Financial Management, this book can also be applied to other types of business.” — Gil Sung Kim, PhD, Dean and Professor, College of Culture and Social Sciences, Chonnam National University Yeosu, Korea Now Available in Paperback CONTENTS: About the Authors / Editors: Hyung-il Jung, PhD Associate Lecturer, University of Central Florida, Rosen College of Hospitality Management, Orlando, Florida Hyung-il Jung, PhD, has been teaching at the Rosen College of Hospitality Management of the University of Central Florida since 2005. Before joining the Rosen College, he taught at Roosevelt University in Chicago. Throughout his academic career, he has been emphasizing for students the qualitative interpretation of quantitative data by teaching hospitality financial and managerial accounting, hospitality finance, and feasibility studies. His interest in this line was developed during his days at Florida International University when he was studying for his master’s degree, after which he spent almost ten years in the industry to practice and cultivate his ideas further, working as a systems designer, an operations analyst, and the controller of a few nationwide foodservice companies that served convention centers and big sporting events, such as ball games, Winston Series Stock Car Races, and National Final Rodeo games. His industry career helped him advance his specialty of liaising between operators and the back of the house with structured assistance that combined accounting information and operational data.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press. They provided me with regular and useful information and updates throughout the publishing procedure. I am also very happy with the final product, which is of good quality. The books are now available and are professionally distributed through the various channels.
