…playing a key role helping to build and operate one of Mid-Missouri’s most loved and recognized restaurant brands.
Of course, it was a group effort. But if there’s something that I didn’t do myself, I was right in the middle of it

Let me help you with yours.

No one part of running a restaurant is difficult, but there are thousands of parts. Juggling them, all at once, while keeping your brain from melting and running out of your ears, is the tricky bit.

• You’re recipes are great, you have a loyal staff, the dining room is warm and welcoming… but when your bookkeeper starts talking about all those numbers, it may as well be Chinese. Do you want a plain English translation?

• How do you set up effective training?

• Should you buy all your groceries from one outfit, or have several vendors bid against each other, or maybe just go to Sam’s yourself?

• How do you navigate licenses and permits?

• What do you do when the health department shows up for an inspection, and you get cited for dirty fingernails?

• It turns out that a trusted long-term staffer that is a core member of your gang is stealing six packs. What do you do?

• What the heck is “menu engineering”?

I’ve already done all that. Don’t re-invent the wheel from scratch. If you want someone to help you have a blast playing the restaurant party game, I could be your guy.

Let me help.
