Consulting

Services designed to help your business grow.

How do we know our management and consulting services work? They’ve worked for us.

Our management team possesses an awe-inspiring record of results crossing a variety of concepts. For instance, over a six-year period, we’ve expanded our Zea Rotisserie & Bar brand from 5 units to 9, despite spending 18 months rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina. Our brand’s profitability, sales per seat ratio, labor results and employee turnover are industry-leading. And the list of accolades is long, including the Best Places to Work award from New Orleans CityBusiness in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2016 and The Times Picayune Top Workplaces of 2017.

So, can we help your restaurant organization succeed?
