## About

I help hospitality owners turn vision into profitable, operationally sound, and memorable guest experiences.

With 25+ years across restaurants, hotels, nightlife, entertainment, culinary operations, and hospitality consulting, I bring an operator's perspective to strategic business decisions.

As Founder & CEO of Strategik Eyedea, I advise restaurant owners, hospitality entrepreneurs, investors, and F&B executives on:

• Hospitality & restaurant strategy
• Guest experience
• Concept development & positioning
• Operations & SOPs
• P&L, food & labor cost
• Menu engineering & profitability
• Leadership & team performance
• Openings, turnarounds & scaling

My approach connects five critical areas: *Guest Experience, Concept, Operations, Product, and Profitability.*

Whether you are building, opening, re-brand, streamlining operations, repositioning, or scaling, I help identify the real problem, prioritize the highest-value opportunities, and determine what should happen next.
