I help restaurant groups get their operations under control when growth starts outpacing their systems. For the last 6+ years I ran operations for Fox Restaurant Concepts, overseeing $180M in annual revenue across 15 locations and three brands. I had full P&L ownership, led new unit development, built leadership pipelines, and collaborated across culinary, HR, finance, construction, and marketing.
Before that I scaled a multi-concept pub group from 1 to 15 locations in under three years. What I actually know how to do. Take a growing restaurant group from reactive to systemized. Find the margin leaks that operators miss when they are too close to the business. Build the management bench that stops turnover from killing momentum. Run new unit openings without the chaos that derails most operators the first time. Create accountability structures that work without micromanagement. I work with founder-led and private equity-backed groups in the 3 to 20 location range. I have seen what happens at $10M, at $50M, and at $160M in revenue. Most of the problems at each stage are predictable. Some of them are preventable. That is where I come in. If you are an operator in the Phoenix market and something is not working the way it should, I am worth a conversation. Christopher Melly 919-360-0855 [email protected]More...
