From chaos to clarity: the transformation your operations need
AI Integration & Automation for Restaurants
Restaurants, food trucks, and catering operations are drowning in repetitive admin work that AI can handle in minutes. I help operators identify the right tools, build practical workflows, and roll out AI for restaurant operations without disrupting the floor. The result: your managers spend less time in the back office and more time running the operation.

SOPs & Training Systems for Restaurants and Catering Companies
Inconsistency costs you money—in wasted labor, food errors, and constant retraining. I build SOPs and training systems for restaurants and catering companies that are actually used: role scorecards, opening and closing checklists, 30-60-90 onboarding plans, and micro-training for your highest-turnover positions. Your team runs the playbook whether you're there or not.

Local Store Marketing for Restaurants and Food Trucks
Most independent operators are leaving money on the table with their immediate community. I build 12-week local store marketing calendars for restaurants, food trucks, and catering companies that drive repeat visits, fill slow shifts, and build neighborhood loyalty—without a big ad budget. Every offer is trackable so you can see what's actually working.

Menu Engineering for Independent Restaurants
Your menu is either making you money or costing you—and most owners don't know which. Menu engineering for restaurants maps every item by contribution margin and popularity so you can promote what actually drives profit, retire what's dragging it down, and price with confidence. Most operators find 3–5 high-cost items hiding in plain sight on the first pass.

Advisory & Fractional Operations Support
For operators running $1M+ operations who need strategic support without a full-time COO. I work as an embedded partner—weekly calls, KPI reviews, and on-call guidance to help you make better decisions faster. Think of it as having a seasoned restaurant operations consultant in your corner every week, without the overhead of a full hire.
