About Us

Upgrade your event sales, market reach, organization and staff training to improve your guest experience and increase your profit line.

Our Mission

We are an event sales driven consulting company.  We are passionate about helping restaurant and hospitality companies succeed financially in our proven area of expertise.  Event sales are often an underutilized revenue stream for an organization, and we know first-hand that sharpening this area can exponentially increase existing revenue, as well as create brand new revenue streams. 


We believe that increasing the profit line begins with hiring and training the right event sales team, and then creating tools, a plan, and a culture where all team members are set up for success and can be valued assets who champion your business.  We look forward to meeting you, learning what makes your company unique, and creating a plan that will maximize the revenue potential for you.
