THIS IS THE BEST WAY FOR YOUR BUSINESS TO REACH THE NEXT LEVEL
Sometimes, you know what you want but you don't know how to get there. That's where Frank J. DiCola Consulting comes in. With over 40 years of experience in managing my own business and navigating the competitive world of restaurant management, I can figure out the steps you need to take to make your business a lasting success.
Consulting
Having successfully managed one of the biggest restaurants in NYC for the past 40 years, I'm uniquely qualified to grow your business to the next level. I'm not one of those consultants who gives advice to others based on theory or feelings. I've lived through the ups and downs of the most challenging restaurant industry in the world and now I'm bringing this experience to you.
Restaurant Management
​
I've been working 12 hour days in restaurants since I was 13, so I know how hard you have to work to keep a restaurant running. It takes years to build up the loyalty and confidence of your customers, and if you're not careful that can be lost in an instant. I've seen the pitfalls and I know how to avoid them. I've worked the long hours and I know how to train people to handle them well. I've managed the infrastructure and behind-the-scenes of a restaurant and I can give you the coaching you need to make something monumental into something manageable.
​
Each restaurant has its own personality and place in people's lives, so it's important to know who you are before we get started. Not every restaurant is going to be a 4-star establishment and that's fine, but if you try to be something you're not you can find yourself going out of business before you've even had a chance to get started.
Advising
No matter how hard you work, no restaurant can survive off the efforts of one person. You'll need to be able to delegate, train, and trust your employees and partners if you're going to be a success. While I always recommend being hands on and heavily involved in the day-to-day, for a restaurant to truly grow you have to have a strong team.
​
If you work hard, work smart and understand your place in the industry and your goals, you'll be successful. I can help you get there.
