For 44 years I’ve worked inside independent restaurant operations — coaching operators, diagnosing what’s actually breaking, and building the systems that fix it. That work is still available. So is everything I’ve learned from it.

The Operator’s Playbook — a five-volume professional reference system for the independent restaurant operator — ships August 2026. Every fundamental. Every system. Built for operators who are done settling for good enough. Pre-order at jeffreysummers.com/the-operators-playbook.
