Restaurant & Hotel Hospitality Consulting
I help restaurants attract more guests with delcious plant-based dining!
Plant-based diners are already at your table...
They are a growing part of your customer base and a real OPPORTUNITY to MAXIMIZE PROFITS and CONFIDENTLY ACCOMMODATE all guests with deliciously prepared, thoughtfully-described menu options, knowledgeable service staff and a memorable dining experience.
Together we can remove the guesswork and the very real in the moment mayhem when a diner asks about plant-based options, and turn this shift into an opportunity: thoughtfully developed dishes, clear menu language, and a dining experience that makes every guest feel confidently taken care of, without alienating your regulars, creating kitchen chaos or overhauling your menu's identity.

Have you heard of the 'Veto Vote'?
In a group of diners, they are the decision-maker, usually the person who potentially has the most limited menu options for an enjoyable dining experience and who typically chooses the restaurant for their entire party.
That person is me.
I've checked your menu online before deciding to visit. When I don't find a decent plant-based dish or even a veggie burger option for substitution, I go on to the next restaurant's website.
This happens alot when we're on vacation, roadtrips or traveling in real time. I check the "restaurants near me" on my phone and quickly assess the website menu before putting the address into my GPS navigation.
- How many of your potential customers are doing the same and going elsewhere?
- How much is a lack of plant-based menu options impacting your revenue and profits?
Don't leave your money on the table of another restaurant.
As a customer, I can relate.
As a consultant, I can help.

The Art of Slowing Down (With a Little Help From My Slow Cooker)
October had its moment exhaling its pumpkin-scented breath everywhere while gracing me with cooler Texas mornings. Fall is always welcome as it breathes its sigh of relief into my overheated summer soul.
November’s arrival suddenly feels like an all-out sprint to the finish line of 2026.
During my nearly crisp, by southern standards, morning walks, pushing my recovering dachshund in his stroller while my older 4-legged boy trots alongside on his leash, I can’t help but feel both the weight and…
Summer Vegan Travel Vibes
Traveling is my happy place.
In an airport or on a plane, the rest of the world and its grippy anxiety just falls away and I feel as free as if I’m swimming in a cold, fresh mountain lake in the woods.
Another of my happy places.
My eyes pop open before my alarm. My DNA hums with bliss and excitement, intuitively knowing all the steps, like a choreographed dance on the world’s most exciting stage.
From cozy bed to “0-dark thirty” dog walk; gulp down yesterday’s leftover cold coffee; half-ass…
Supper Clubby Love Vibes
As we are just days away from Valentine’s Day, a holiday I’ve long believed is nothing more than a marketing ploy to break up the monotony of winter, (just me?) my thoughts turn toward food. What else?
Food has always been my love language, with or without the $20 rose bouquet or heart-shaped chocolate box. No offense to rose bouquet or heart-shaped chocolate lovers, but we deserve every day to dabble in the things that bring us joy, whatever those things may be.
Delicious food and wine (inse…
