Jeffrey Summers - Restaurant Consultant & Coach
Jeffrey Summers

44 years. 200+ independent operators coached. 34 restaurants opened from scratch.

I work with restaurant operators who know something is wrong and are ready to find out what it actually is — and with leaders who are ready to build something that lasts.

The complete framework is in my new book: The Operator’s Playbook

Not Sure Where To Start?

Take The Operator’s Assessment. 15 minutes. It will tell you more about where your operation actually stands than most operators learn in a year. Come to the call with your results and we’ll have a much sharper conversation from the first minute.

If you know something is wrong and you are ready to find out what it actually is — call me. If you are at an inflection point and need someone who has already navigated it — call me. If you are not sure what you need yet, that is exactly what the free consultation is for. Tell me what is going on. I will tell you what I see and what I think it means. No pitch, no obligation, completely confidential.

The conversation costs you nothing. Not acting on what you learn will.
