“Oliver's impact was immediate and measurable. He took charge of our entire beverage strategy and program, successfully lowering our cost of goods sold through savvy operational adjustments. What truly set him apart was his ability to forge and manage a national partnership strategy, directly contributing to our bottom line. Oliver is a strategic, results-oriented professional, and I confidently endorse him for any consulting needs.”

Working with Oliver was a masterclass in what it means to lead with both heart and precision. He has that rare ability to bridge the gap between creative, bar-level culture and the high-level needs of ownership and investors. His systems and training materials didn’t just streamline operations; they built team confidence and delivered measurable results. Oliver communicates change clearly and implements it thoughtfully, and he always keeps an eye on both the guest experience and the bottom line. He makes operations cool, efficient and profitable.

I was able to watch Oliver quickly transform a widely spread out multi-unit national dining concept and turn it into a well-oiled machine in the span of a few months. I've spent the past two decades working with beverage directors and it's rare that I've seen someone so able to blend the fun and experiential parts of running a beverage program with such savvy business acumen. Folks that can make fun and inventive drinks are rarely the same ones that can drill down on a P&L report - and the bean-counters are rarely able to bring an engaging, human-oriented angle to the table. Oliver is able to adeptly do both.

"Oliver is one of the most financially savvy collaborators I’ve had the pleasure to work with in the restaurant industry. He expertly built out pricing for pours, cocktails, and beverage packages using precise COGS analysis. His easy-to-use templates simplified evaluating the financial impact of promotions and other pricing decisions. He aligned purchasing with both our sales data and broader market trends, while playing a key role in streamlining our inventory management and ordering processes."
