You don’t have a demand problem. You have a system problem.
I work with restaurant founders and operators to fix throughput, labor inefficiencies, and operational bottlenecks that quietly
destroy margin as you scale.
Most restaurants don’t fail because of demand. They fail because the system can’t handle volume.
Service slows. Labor creeps. Execution drifts. Margins disappear without anything feeling “broken.”
I help restaurant brands grow with control, by building systems that hold whether you’re at 2 units or scaling toward 50+.

FROM OPERATOR TO SYSTEM ARCHITECT
SCALING MULTI-UNIT RESTAURANTS & DRIVING EBITDA EXPANSION
I’ve led operations inside high-volume, multi-unit restaurant platforms where systems either hold — or break under pressure.
At DIG, by Chloe I helped scale from a single location into a multi-unit platform serving thousands of guests daily. At Fireman Hospitality Group, I operated across a $90M portfolio, focused on throughput, labor discipline, and margin performance.
This isn’t theory. It’s built from real kitchens, real service pressure, and real P&Ls.
Today, I work with founders, operators, and investors to install systems that drive repeatable execution, labor efficiency, and measurable EBITDA expansion across locations.
The goal is simple: build systems that perform as you grow, whether you’re running 2 units or scaling toward 50+.

I build restaurant operating systems that scale concepts into multi-unit platforms with consistency, strong unit economics, and expanding margins.
I turn strong concepts into repeatable, high-performance businesses through disciplined execution and operational infrastructure.
I operate at the intersection of culinary, operations, and economics—using data and modern tools to improve throughput, increase profitability, and drive sustainable growth.
