Turn Vision into Velocity

Catalyst Hospitality Advisors helps independent restaurateurs and hotel owners unlock hidden margin, elevate guest experience, and grow with confidence.

Why Catalyst?

At Catalyst, we’re operators first and consultants second. We’ve launched, managed, and grown concepts from waterfront pop-ups to Michelin-level dining rooms, so we know every percentage point - and every guest -matters. Our mission is simple: translate hard-won, on-the-floor insight into clear strategy and repeatable systems that move you from idea to industry leader.

Does this feel familiar?

• Labor hovering 35 %+ and climbing every pay period.

• Ticket times spike, guests skip dessert, staff morale tanks by Friday.

• Food cost is a black box; deliveries keep surprising your P&L.

• Owner stuck on the line, marketing and culture on permanent back-burner.

Picture this instead.

• Labor trimmed to ≤ 28 % in the first 4 weeks—without slashing bodies.

• 15-minute faster table turns & happier servers who sell a second round.

• Every recipe costed, & a live dashboard flags over-portioning in real time.

• Six hours/week freed for growth projects while culture KPIs stay green.
