Holistic Operations Analysis and Overhaul

I will analyze all aspects of your operation (FOH and BOH), identify problems, make recommendations based on best practices, and offer both customized and time-tested solutions to your specific needs.

Specific Issue
Problem Solving

Whether it's sorting out financial issues (high food-liquor-labor costs, waste, inefficiency), modifying or improving existing service systems, designing or redesigning work spaces that are efficient and highly functional (and properly outfitted with the requisite tools/equipment), selecting and/or formatting an affordable and efficient POS system, training staff for an opening and/or re-opening, or designing food-cocktail-beer-wine menus, I have all the expertise and experience your organization requires.

Designing A Complete Food & Beverage Program

I have extensive experience building food and beverage programs from scratch, most notably at Telluride Ski and Golf in Colorado, recognized regularly as one of America’s best year-round resorts. I will design for you an attractive, inventive, sensible, and delicious menu that accurately conveys your concept, and a lean and profitable service model that will stand the test of time.

Staff Training

Knife Skills, Cooking Techniques, Steps of Service, Essential Wine Training, Bartending Techniques, Workspace Ergonomics, Flow, Tool Selection/Use, Health and Safety Protocols

I can do on-site training, off-hours or prior to opening, most any time of day or night, at your place of business, in a format which is thorough, educational, non-intimidating, even fun. There is always something new to learn in this business, even for seasoned professionals. I strive to stay ahead of the curve on the latest food and beverage trends.

Nutritional Labeling/Product Development

Are you struggling with nutritional labeling on your menu or consumer food product? Short on knowledge or experience? Or just don’t have the time or patience to learn the nuances of yet another software program? I am currently developing a line of food products to be sold commercially (coming soon!) and have gained a high level of competence in nutritional labeling and FDA compliance that can save you time and money. Let me guide you through the process and/or build your labeling for you.
