Is What Could Possibly Go Right? Worth Reading?
by Danny Meyer
Ada’s Score
Meyer recounts the formative episodes behind his restaurant empire, framing setbacks as the engine of eventual success. The hospitality philosophy is sincere and occasionally sharp, but the book settles into the familiar grooves of the entrepreneur memoir — triumph retrofitted into lesson. The warmth is genuine; the insight is intermittent.
“Meyer's hospitality ethic is the real thing, and when he writes about service he's specific. The success-story scaffolding dulls the rest.”

What Could Possibly Go Right? Review
Meyer's hospitality ethic is the real thing, and when he writes about service he's specific. The success-story scaffolding dulls the rest.
Rating: 3.7 / 5
Ada’s reservations
The hindsight framing turns every mistake into inevitable triumph, flattening genuine risk. Readers wanting the messy texture of building a business get polish instead. Pleasant, not essential.
Ada’s score reflects both strengths and reservations.
