On April 20, 2004, the U.S. Department of Labor released its final revised regulations governing the so-called “white collar” exemptions from overtime pay requirements under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

A Review Of Restaurant Valuation Literature, M. C. Dalbor, Andrew H. Feinstein, Z. Mao Jan 2006

A Review Of Restaurant Valuation Literature, M. C. Dalbor, Andrew H. Feinstein, Z. Mao

Office of the Provost Scholarship

We also explore the continuing usage of “rules of thumb” in restaurant valuation. Although these rules are often based in theory as well as practice, their breadth can severely limit their usefulness. …
