I Help Teams Run Smarter
I build systems, documentation, and training that help hospitality and technical teams work with more consistency, less friction, and less dependence on any one person. Built on 16 years in restaurants and a process development mindset.
What I Do
Fix the Workflow. Document the Standards. Train the Team.
Every team has friction they've learned to live with. I identify it, fix it, and build systems that keep it from coming back.
Hospitality Operations Consulting
Your bar setup shouldn't change depending on who's working. I audit service flow, fix coordination gaps, and build systems that keep shifts tight even when you're not there.
SOPs, Playbooks & Training Systems
If your best employee quit tomorrow, could someone else do their job by Friday? I turn the knowledge stuck in people's heads into documents your whole team can follow.
Technical Documentation & Workflow Support
Underdocumented processes, inconsistent reporting, context that disappears between meetings. I clean it up and build systems that make information usable.
AI Workflow Setup
You're already writing reports, SOPs, and emails every week. I set up practical AI workflows so those tasks take less time and come out cleaner, faster, and more usable.
Who I Work With
Built for People Who Run Things
Restaurant & Bar Owners
Shifts that run clean without you babysitting. Opening checklists that don't depend on who's on the schedule.
GMs & Hospitality Groups
Consistent standards across shifts and locations. Training that works without your best people doing all the heavy lifting.
Labs & Technical Teams
Documentation that's current and useful. Processes that survive when someone leaves or a new hire starts.
Founders & Operators
The systems and documentation your team needs so you can stop being the answer to every question.
Why Work With Me
I've Done the Work You're Trying to Fix
Most consultants study operations from a distance. I spent 16 years inside them.
My perspective was built from the ground up—from busboy to bartender, from student to teacher, and from manufacturing tech to process development scientist. I build systems that work where they matter most: in the day-to-day execution.
16 Years in Restaurants
Busboy, dishwasher, prep cook, line cook, barback, bartender. I've held every position in a restaurant and know exactly where operations fall apart.
Two Industries, One Skill Set
Hospitality taught me pace, pressure, and people. Process development and scientific operations taught me documentation, precision, and system design. Both inform everything I build.
I Build Things People Actually Use
A 40-page manual nobody reads is worthless. I write one-page checklists, scannable SOPs, and shift guides that work at 8pm on a Saturday.
I See the Problem Fast
Most operational friction hides in plain sight. I find it quickly because I've lived inside the same systems your team is struggling with.
Selected Projects
I Build Tools, Not Just Documents
When I see a gap in training, thinking, or execution, I build something to close it.

Insights
Writing on What Makes Teams Run Well
What Great Operations Actually Look Like
Great operations aren't dramatic. They're quiet, consistent, and almost invisible. Here's what separates well-run teams from the rest.
Why Most Training Systems Fail
Training programs fail not because people don't care, but because the systems behind them are broken. Here's what actually goes wrong.
The Hidden Cost of Friction in Restaurants and Teams
Operational friction is expensive, but it rarely shows up on a P&L. Here's how to recognize it and what it's actually costing you.
