The Founding Operator Program · Ten Seats · By Application

Run the proven ops playbook used by the best restaurants in the world.

Best practices customized to your location.

I’ve spent thirty years inside great restaurant groups, building the systems they run on. This program installs the right ones for you. Year one with me at the table: we build the playbook around your restaurant, set it up with your team, roll it out — and track that it’s actually running.

APPLY FOR A SEAT A short application, then a conversation with me. We’ll both know if it’s a fit.

The Arrow Up app, for all your restaurants

1–5 locations — training, photo-verified checklists, completion records. Runs on all devices.

Your playbook, built and rolled out

Arrow Up’s ready-built programs — compliance, safety, leadership, service & hospitality — blended with custom training quickly built for your restaurant. Loaded and rolled out with your team. Installed and running.

The Founders’ Table

A weekly working session with me and the other founding operators. Bring the problem. We work it together.

Tracked for you

Completion records, photo-verified checklists, signed acknowledgments, a weekly report in your inbox — you see it running without chasing anyone. On file when it counts: claims, audits, insurance renewals.

Fresh plays from the best operators

We work inside great restaurant groups every week. What’s working gets captured and added to your team’s training as we find it — trackable lessons with action items.

One goal a week

Weekly targets that get the whole team rowing toward profitability, together — one goal, set and tracked, every week.
