A groundbreaking new true-crime business book is sending shockwaves through the hospitality industry. How I Steal From You, authored by Chloe Rachel Howard and Jauna L. Werner, has debuted as the #1 Amazon Top Release in the Restaurant and Food Industry category, earning five-star reviews and immediate attention from restaurant owners, operators, and executives nationwide.
Unlike traditional business manuals, How I Steal From You pulls back the curtain on internal theft, fraud, and exploitation inside restaurants-told from the perspective of those who know the system intimately. The book delivers a rare, unfiltered look at how businesses are systematically stolen from, often without owners ever realizing it. Blending true crime storytelling with practical business insight, the 182-page book exposes the methods, psychology, and blind spots that allow theft to thrive in restaurants of all sizes - from independent operators to multi-unit groups. More importantly, it equips leaders with the awareness needed to protect their people, profits, and operations.
A Must-Read for the Hospitality Industry
Written specifically for bar and restaurant owners, general managers, investors, and hospitality professionals, "How I Steal From You" stands out for its candid voice, real-world cases, and actionable relevance. Readers have praised the book for being both gripping and eye-opening - calling it "required reading" for anyone running a food or beverage business.
Chloe Rachel Howard and Jauna L. Werner bring firsthand experience, sharp observation, and fearless honesty to a topic many businesses avoid discussing publicly. Their work challenges long-standing assumptions in hospitality management and opens the door to more transparent, resilient operations.
