Run the Playbook of the World’s Best Restaurants
In 90 minutes I’ll hand you the plays working right now: a radical approach to hiring, simplified SOPs and training, manager habits that hold the standard, and one weekly target that gets the whole team rowing together.
Four reasons to give me 90 minutes
Walk away with one idea that changes how you run next week.
Stop the Bleeding
Callouts, no-shows, turnover — all have root causes. Fix what you control this week.
Hold the Standard
How to leverage your team to help build your training.
Row in the Same Direction
An innovative approach to mutual accountability.
Protect the Margin
Every callout and resignation leaks money. A system that holds pays for itself.
Three answers. One session. Real tools you keep.
The Secret to Simplified Training
A bottom-up approach to quickly build training that lands. The most important tool to hand a new hire. And the day-one move that decides whether they stay.
Checklists Pulled From the World’s Best SOPs
How the world’s best kitchens bake training into every task — so the checklist teaches while it runs. And the one change, made with the phone already in their pocket, that makes a checklist impossible to fake.
A Team You Can Count On
Why sharp operators are done interviewing one candidate at a time — and how your crew helps choose who joins them. The scorecard where the team grades management back. And one weekly target that gets everyone rowing together.
Walk out with tools built on real restaurant floors
A monthly check-in both sides fill out: how did we do on what we promised?
We build one live in session.
Candidates together, your crew in the room — with a vote.
Trade panic for trust, clarity, and accountability.
How to find the one goal this week: your revenue driver, your season, your scorecard.
Your bottom-up build — capture, simplify, verify — plus the outline you hand every new hire.
Built for owners, GMs and chefs
One strong location up to five. Owners who are already winning and ready for the next level — and the GMs and chefs who hold the standard every day.
30 years on restaurant floors and in the executive seat
Jason Berkowitz has spent three decades stepping in as VP and COO to build the operating systems that let restaurant groups run, hold their standards, and grow.
He turns award-winning training into simple, repeatable playbooks operators actually use — and he spends his days inside great restaurant groups around the country, so you get the best of what’s working everywhere, not just one person’s opinion.

“I watched Jason sit down with some of the most difficult, Forbes-awarded servers who had been doing it their own way for years. Instead of explaining anything, he just said ‘talk to me’ — and then he was quiet. He got more out of three words than anything else he could have said.”
“Our supervisors are now handling sensitive situations better, having more productive conversations, and showing real ownership of their shifts. The shift in confidence has been noticeable across the board.”
“It’s something our shift leads actually want to engage with, and the results have shown across our locations.”
90 minutes. Real tools. Plays you can run today.
Come sit in — it’s free, and kept small on purpose.
