Leadership When You Need It Most
Running a restaurant isn’t just about serving great food—it’s about managing people, processes, and profit margins under constant pressure. Many owners know what it feels like to be stretched too thin: trying to balance labor costs, control food waste, train staff, and keep the business profitable—all at once
But here’s the truth: you don’t need a full-time executive to achieve executive-level results.
That’s where fractional leadership comes in.
As your fractional Director or VP of Operations , I step in with the experience and systems to stabilize operations, coach teams, and create measurable improvements. Whether you need short-term executive support, guidance through a transition, or focused help to tackle stubborn challenges, I act as both a leader and a partner in your success.
What You Gain
Executive-Level Leadership without the cost of a full-time executive.
Streamlined Systems for labor, food costs, compliance, and operations.
Hands-On Mentorship to strengthen managers and build leadership capacity.
Strategic Insights grounded in real-world data to grow profitability.
Why It Works
Restaurants often operate on razor-thin margins. Without the right leadership, inefficiencies in labor, inventory, or training quietly eat away at profits. My fractional leadership model allows you to tap into decades of executive expertise exactly when—and where—you need it most.
I don’t just advise. I lead. I mentor. And I treat your business as if it were my own.
Case Study: Turning Strain Into Strength
A multi-unit foodservice company brought me in as a fractional VP of Operations to stabilize its production facility and restore profitability. In less than 18 months:
- EBITDA grew by 186% through smart operational changes.
- Employee turnover dropped by 70%, thanks to leadership development and better training.
- Production efficiency increased by 50%, creating a stronger, more sustainable operation.
They didn’t need to hire a permanent executive—they needed focused leadership that delivered results.
If you feel like you’re carrying the weight of your business alone, fractional leadership might be the game-changer you’ve been searching for.
