What We Do
My team and I offer end-to-end consulting and real estate solutions for the food and beverage industry. Having focused operators and the right concepts in place will always be key to any restaurant's long-term success, but the underlying real estate deal is of equal importance. Let’s work together to find strategic and creative solutions for your existing business model, and be alert for new opportunities that will inevitably arise.
Strategic Advice for Long Term Success
My team and I will help focus your concept, strengthen your brand and create a detailed plan for success. I worked behind the scenes of Daniel Boulud’s The Dinex Group for over 21 years building the company from two to twenty restaurants. I have experience building both freestanding restaurants as well as establishing partnerships and creating concepts with luxury hotels, casinos, and developers.
We can oversee the construction or renovation of your restaurant, and help you strategically manage your project from lease negotiations through concept development, pre-opening, and training to give your team the structure and the support it needs. Or ask us to take a deep dive to an existing operation to uncover opportunities, and present innovative ideas to increase revenue and improve profitability.
Maintaining trust and communicating effectively with guests is more important than ever. We will create an effective strategy to shape your brand and maintain your on-line presence by coordinating social media, your website, and all those madly overlapping digital platforms to work together in an intentional and coordinated way.

Testimonials
“Brett, and his impact of more than 2 decades, of course, is irreplaceable. The two of us created the Dinex Group together and have done some amazing things, all of which would not have been possible without his continued support and energy during each endeavor. I am also incredibly thankful to all those who helped Brett and myself along the way over the years to build wonderful places; making our customers happy and creating a wonderful school of training in every department of our restaurant group. ”
