Restaurant Operations Leadership · Austin Metro
Director of Operations · Multi-Unit Restaurant Leadership
Thirty-six years in restaurants, fourteen owning my own. Built, ran and sold a two-unit full-service restaurant group under complete P&L ownership.
Executive Summary
Restaurant operations leader with 36 years in the industry, apprentice to owner, who built, ran, and sold a full-service restaurant business across 14 years of complete P&L ownership. Carries the ownership-grade accountability most regional leaders never face: full responsibility for the P&L, not a slice of it.
Deep command of food and labor cost control, multi-unit operations, vendor negotiation, talent development, and TABC and health compliance, backed by a 25-year systems-and-technology edge spanning restaurant POS implementation to operations software. Seeking to bring that operating discipline to a multi-unit Director of Operations role with a growing food group.

The Operator's Edge
The tech thread runs the length of the career: from installing Digital Dining POS as a technician, to enterprise support at Apple, to building ALSTIG's restaurant-operations software today. Scheduling, inventory, and cost-control tools designed from the floor up, by someone who has actually owned the P&L they're meant to protect.
It means margin problems get read like an operator, not a spreadsheet, and technology gets deployed to make service faster and more consistent, never for its own sake.
Built Under ALSTIG, Inc.
Built by an operator, for operators. A growing suite of tools, most for restaurants and one now serving pool-service pros, each drawn from a real operating problem I lived firsthand.
