I help the restaurant owner plan & implement strategies that directly impact profitability & success. I am the founder of Eckstut Restaurant Consulting, which advises restaurateurs, investors, lenders, and landlords and implements strategies for successful, stable, and profitable operations. My career as a restaurateur, small business expert, mentor, educator, real estate, and financing adviser sp

ans 40+ years and is filled with successes: mine and others. For the past eighteen years, I have used my experience, knowledge, and skills to help scores of restaurants. From concept, menu, financing, real estate, leasing, operations, management, marketing to budgeting, bookkeeping, and partnerships, I teach, coach, and share all the ingredients that make for a successful and profitable restaurant. I understand the details of ownership and operations and can find and correct the mishaps.

What do I do? I "SAVE" RESTAURANTS!

Folks in every walk of life sometimes need "saving." Those who famously succeed have often had earlier missteps.
• Peyton Manning threw 26 interceptions his first year, but he turned things around and is in the Football Hall of Fame.
• Milton Hershey’s first two candy companies went "belly-up" - but that didn’t stop him from bringing chocolate to the masses.
• Steve Jobs? Fired from his own company, but got his business back and then made some incredible Apple business magic.
• Albert Einstein wasn’t too successful in school, but....you know the rest!

We all make errors/mistakes/miscalculations. That’s how we learn.

All successful people have determination AND mentors/advisers/coaches helping behind the scene!

In the restaurant business, those miscalculations can lead to significant financial consequences.

To counter this, mentors can pinpoint problems, and by using their own past experiences, help get businesses back on their feet and moving towards success.

If your restaurant is facing challenging times, perhaps I am the coach who can advise you. This is what I have done in the past. Let me help you in the present --- towards a better future!

My clients succeed!

Don't sign anything ……..without a lawyer to review and advise.

If you are new to business ownership, then my number one piece of advice is: "Don't sign anything binding without legal review - especially a lease. And, if you don't know if what you are signing is legally binding, then ask a lawyer!"

Lawyers are your protection, and they are protecting your investment, your business, and you. So in a way, what you pay them for services is "Protection Money." And, if your lawyer is good at what she does, then she is more than worth the money!

In addition, make sure the attorney you hire is a business/real estate lawyer, not your divorce lawyer or the like. After all, you wouldn't want your knee doctor operating on your heart.

Like any other major purchase from a vendor, check references. You and your attorney will be working together for many successful years to come. You want to know it's someone you can trust.
