Simple on purpose

How it works

Start wherever feels right. Every option uses the same workbook, so nothing you’ve done ever needs redoing, and you only add more help if you want it.

The workbook

$37One time

Work at your own pace. Type last month into the yellow boxes and the workbook tells you, in plain words, how the month went and three good places to start.

A second set of eyes

$147One time

Send me your filled-in workbook. I look over what you typed and we talk it through on a call, from outside the daily rush.

A visit to your kitchen

$497One time

I drive to you and sit in your dining room between lunch and dinner. We walk the kitchen together and you finish with a simple path, one step at a time. Farther out, we meet on Zoom.

Ongoing one-on-one help

$97 a monthFor now, regularly $147 a month

A weekly check-in, support while the changes take hold, and someone who knows your numbers and notices when an old habit creeps back. If you bought the workbook in the last 30 days, your $37 comes off your first month, so your first month is $60. After that it’s $97 a month while the limited price lasts, then $147 a month.

Help bringing people in is an optional extra, $25 a month, alongside ongoing help. The workbook is licensed for one business; please don’t copy, share, or resell it.

How we get started

  1. 01

    We talk. It’s free.

    Write me and tell me the one money problem you’d love to solve tomorrow if you could, in your own words. I come in ready to listen. If none of this is the right fit, I’ll say so kindly.

  2. 02

    We look at your month

    Most people start with the workbook. It puts last month on one page and shows where money may be slipping away. If you’d rather, we can start with a call or a visit instead.

  3. 03

    Three small things

    You finish with three practical things to try this week, each small enough to do on a busy Tuesday.

  4. 04

    Stay as long as it helps

    With ongoing help, we check in each week, keep one good habit at a time, and look again at day thirty so the changes don’t slide. You never have to stay longer than it’s helping.

What we look at together

The money is almost never hiding in one place. It is in how the restaurant actually runs — and we look at that kindly, together.

The line and the list

Portions that wander. Recipes that live in someone’s head. A walk-in at the end of the night. We write it down together, so Tuesday can look like the plan on the wall.

The people and the night

A schedule built for last week’s worry, not this week’s night. Too many hands in the slow hours, not enough when the ticket printer is chattering. We match the people to the flow.

The menu and the little fees

A dish that takes more work than it returns. A menu so long the walk-in holds bottles for plates nobody ordered. We keep what earns, let dishes share the same chicken and cream, and stop paying for software nobody opened this month.

How you buy

Everyday items — oil, chicken, flour — so you aren’t staring at a price list by yourself. Missouri farms when a dish should taste like here. Keep the truck that already knows your dock if they can meet a kinder price.

Help bringing people in (optional)

If filling a few more chairs would help, we can add a quiet weekly habit I call Bring Them In. Once a week, we take one true thing from your kitchen — the steam rising from the soup, the Saturday special coming out of the oven, a beautiful plate, the glow of the porch lights — and put it where a hungry person can see it. Maybe that’s a Google update. A short video. A simple post that makes a regular think, “That looks good. Let’s go.” I’ll sit with you until it feels easy enough to do on your own. $25/month, only while we’re still walking together.
