CLIENTS
"As one of the owners of Bistro Burger restaurants in San Francisco, we have been very pleased with the quality of work we have received from Five Star Restaurant Consultants services. This organization really took the time to understand our business’ unique needs both short term and long term. With their experience in the restaurant business, they were able to recommend strategies that we quickly implemented and have seen results almost immediately.
Five Star Restaurant Consultants are great to work with and are able to adjust their strategies to fit into our environment. I could not speak more highly of the efforts we have seen and we’ll be using their services to continue our growth and expansion at Bistro Burger."

"From the moment I first met Five Star Restaurant Consultants I knew they would properly guide me in the purchase of a kitchen for Left Coast Catering due to their own experiences in the food service industry. What I didn’t expect was the high level of care and concern they put forth in helping me with the purchase of the new space.
What was the most amazing part of working with Five Star Restaurant Consultants were the resources and contacts they had to offer. From the Small Business Development Center to the Golden Gate Restaurant Association these resources have offered invaluable contacts and information in taking my business to the next level."
