Virtual yard sale

Unlike most restaurant inventory, intellectual capital has a rather long shelf life if the ideas are sound to begin with.

Over the years, we've updated the packaging on our standard products. The result is a storeroom full of odds and ends with great value.

These books are sold "As Is." They come as books only — no computer disks, sometimes no "Table of Contents," and not the most up-to-date versions of our product. And the dated covers will give you a peek at the evolution of our graphic design flair. They are, however, great templates and resource guides for those of you ready to do it yourself. They're full of information, are the building blocks for our current product line, (some haven't changed much at all!) and they're a great deal!

If you're a bargain hunter, or if you've been looking for a good excuse to get going on these projects, here's your chance to purchase quality products at low cost. But don't wait... there are limited quantities of our best selling policy handbooks, special reports, job descriptions, evaluation systems, bonus plans — all at fantastic discounts.

See the list below and give us a call at 800-858-7876 to place your order. Operators are standing by! (Full, up-to-date versions that come with customizable computer disks can be ordered from http://store.yahoo.com/tradesecrets)
