The Doctor's Trip Reports

Bill Marvin, The Restaurant DoctorWhen I travel to other parts of the world, it has been my habit to post a daily log of the travels -- not so much of the "here's where I went, here's what I saw" variety -- although that is certainly in there -- but more from the perspective of "here's what I learned from it."

From time to time a reader confesses that they feel a touch of resentment that I am traveling while they are struggling to keep their restaurant going. If you are ever even slightly put off by the frequency of my travels, I promise there is more information than you have.

If you are interested in understanding why (and how) we travel so often, click here and I can put it in perspective for you. Consider it another lesson in listening.

I hope the daily diaries of a wandering restaurateur offer some helpful insights into your own operations ... at least I offer them with that goal in mind. Enjoy!
