Download EDMUND WOO ONE SHEET for speaking engagements

Edmund Woo is author of The 5 Hour Restaurant Work Week: Work Less, Make More and Have a Life, too. Edmund teaches and coaches independent restaurant owners how to Make More Money, Stress Out Less, Work Less, And Get Their Lives Back. An independent restaurant owner, himself, Edmund is the successful owner operator of Saskatoon: Steaks Fish and Wild Game, a casual fine dining dinner house with a North Woods Hunting Lodge theme.

Edmund’s career in the restaurant industry has been life-long, beginning at the age of four, when he started singing “Happy birthday” to the diners at his family’s Chinese restaurant. At five, he added to his duties of “entertainer” by joining the Woo family children dishwashing team at the three compartment sink (this was before the days of the dish machine). When Edmund was 10 years old, his father passed away so that by the age of 14, Edmund was in charge of hiring and training employees for the restaurant. By the ripe old age of 20, Edmund had already opened his first restaurant.

Edmund has a degree in Finance from Clemson University and a Masters in Business from the University of Georgia.

As a true restaurant entrepreneur, Edmund has owned and operated numerous concepts: Bar and Grill, Italian, Chinese, Diner, Upscale French and his current business, SASKATOON. He is a firm believer in the adage that “you never really know the restaurant business until you hold the keys.”
