The mind of a culinary business owner is always in motion.

Management and production; logistics and staffing; financials and forecasts; goals and leadership all demand attention, and yet, for all this complexity, one simple thing remains at the heart of it all: great food. As a consultant, I offer expert support in every aspect of culinary business from its most complex operations to the delicious simplicity at its core.

Organizational excellence- I learn about the whole business and where you want help in bringing the organization to the next level. Often I focus on a few areas at a time but the overall objective is to make the business cohesive and optimized.

The areas that I have deep experience in and knowledge of are business strategy, branding, marketing- which includes direct mail campaigns, PR and positioning. Operations- which includes assessment and restructuring of bottlenecks. Financial systems and forecasting which include food, beverage and labor cost analysis as well as forecasting for growth or achieving financial benchmark goals. And of course, the food at the heart of it is all is great food.
