So... You Decided to Open a Food Business

I don't know about you, but I got into this business because I love food.

I wasn't thinking about payroll, marketing, food costs, hiring, branding, customer service, or all the other hats that come with owning a food business. I just wanted to cook.

Then reality hits.

You realize pretty quickly that building a successful food business has just as much to do with the business as it does the food.

That's where I can help.

I've spent more than 20 years in hospitality, including nearly 15 years in fine dining before building Patria's Kitchen. I've worked front of house and back of house, learned from businesses with systems that have stood the test of time, and built a business of my own.

I love helping people take the vision that's in their head and turn it into a business people can actually experience. Whether that's strengthening your brand, creating a menu that makes sense, improving your customer experience, organizing your operations, or simply talking through ideas, my goal is to help you build a business that's true to your vision while sharing the experience and perspective I've gained along the way.
