​Driving Change needed for effective high functioning operations.

Early in my career, I quickly realized what's needed in an effective opening by witnessing what doesn't work.  I watched others struggle, tried to offer suggestions but it fell on big egos and deaf ears.  Even as a younger chef... had to assist some openings that missed the mark and I was stuck doing things that did nothing to advance the opening or stabilize the op post opening.

After leading, organizing and conducting my own openings... I realized although each venue is different and presents its own challenges - it requires a certain focus of mind to get it right - and this comes through watching what doesn't work and simply doing it better.

Simple but not easy. Let us help... this is our jam. 

"​After 2 years struggling to open, she opened our business within 2 months of being onsite. ​Lesa was contacted through word of mouth referral to deduce what wasn't working with our current, highly tenured restaurant chef. We struggled to open after 2 years and several millions in funds. The operation remained closed and not in a position to open. We had not seen a menu from our chef, who was the "project manager" and patience and funds were running thin. Lesa came in, lit the fire and got the unit open (with only one other person, 6 staff) within 2 months time after 2 years of closure. She gave us a profitable menu, re-designed the concept, created the systems to run it, and our business has been operating ever since." BG of NGC, Co.
