Thirty years inside the P&L of America’s biggest pizza franchises.
I’ve led operations for as many as 118 Pizza Hut restaurants doing over $100 million a year, built the labor and pricing models behind 900 more, and sat on the ownership side as a franchise partner myself. Now I help multi-unit operators find the margin buried in their operations.
Most operators can’t build the model. Most analysts never ran a store. I’ve spent my career doing both.
In the field, I’ve developed hundreds of managers and run operations the rest of the system was measured against, the benchmark other franchisees were compared to. At the desk, I’ve built the labor models, executive scorecards, and wage‑impact forecasts a 900‑unit group runs on. And as a franchise partner, I’ve signed the checks, so I know what an outside consultant looks like from the owner’s chair. You don’t get theory or a slide deck; you get systems proven across hundreds of restaurants before they reach yours.

Dan found six figures of labor savings in his first month, without cutting a single hour that mattered to our guests.
He’s the only consultant we’ve worked with who could coach a shift manager in the morning and rebuild our labor model that afternoon.
Every successful operation shares the same foundation.
Great leadership. Clear accountability. Data‑driven decisions. Simple, repeatable systems. A culture built on people and performance.
I’ve spent three decades building that foundation inside some of the largest franchise organizations in the country: as an operator, an owner, and an analyst. I work alongside your leadership team, in your restaurants and in your numbers, to make improvements that hold long after I leave.
