As a restaurant owner for over 25 years and experience in the industry spanning over 35 years,  I get it!   I know the struggles you face as a restaurant owner and that is why my mission is to “Help You Earn More and Stress Less.”  

​

There is no doubt that 35 years is a very long time, kind of like dog years.  Before opening JI Restaurant Consulting a few years ago,  I owned three successful, full-service restaurants,  fish-market,  marketing company and worked in corporate food service.

The best part for you is, you have access to my broad background and knowledge of what works and what doesn’t work which will help you achieve the success you deserve.

It doesn't matter if you are an existing businesses or a startup, avoiding costly mistakes, overcoming problems and  implementing  the practices used by the most successful restaurants in the country is what is going to set you apart from your competition.  Restaurant owners and manager call me to give them expert advice, strategies, training, and support. 

​

Although I consult on a laundry list areas restaurant owners need help with, my sweet spot and passion, is helping with social media, email and retention programs.

​

I like it, because nothing makes me happier than  seeing my clients see and feel the results.  The new world of marketing is complicated and you  should do what you do best, run your restaurants, and leave the world of digital marketing to an expert, like me.  

Nobody is going to argue, that as a restaurant owner, you are a unique breed.  I am sure you are very determined to be in control of your own business and don't often seek out help.  However, I bet you can think of several areas you could use assistance.  You might even think you are going to one day get to it yourself but , the real truth is that  you know you will either never find the time, you don't know where to start or just can't muster the drive to do what you need to do.

​

That is my main focus,  help you  get over the hurdles that get in the way of the success you desire. If I can help take away some of the burdens you bare, while having to be everything to all people at all times in your role of the boss in your business, I have done my job and you have peace of mind.
