Chris Hughes, restaurant operations consultant, New York City

Nearly Three Decades in
New York City Restaurants.

I started with Danny Meyer at Gramercy Tavern, led the opening teams at A Voce and Lilia, and ran operations for Bowery Group and Patina — fast casual and fine dining, beverage programs, and world class catering.
​
Today I advise independent restaurant owners in New York and around the country, as a fractional Director of Operations. My past work included Coaching Operations Management at Restaurant Strategy, where I lead weekly sessions of up to 50 restaurants, working through P&Ls, labor, food cost and management systems. I've also been a featured guest on the Restaurant Strategy podcast.
​
My mission is to help operators open smarter, build better teams and create profitable businesses. I know I can help you MAKE MORE MONEY and create the restaurant that you have always envisioned!
