Fix Your Restaurant’s Biggest Problem in 30 Minutes
For independently owned restaurants with real business headaches — get a clear plan in 30 minutes for $50.
“I usually work with owners on longer strategic engagements — but too many restaurants need clarity now, not another long program. Pick My Brain is for owners who want quick, tactical answers without commitment.”
Running a restaurant shouldn’t feel like trying to put out a fire with a wet napkin.
But these days?
You’re juggling slow sales, chaotic staff, rising costs and a marketing plan that feels like shouting into the void.
You need some help. And you need it now.
You don’t need a six-month program.
You don’t need another overpriced agency.
You need one sharp brain on your problem—fast.
That’s where I come in!
Before we get into it…. who am I and why should you listen?
I’I’ve worked with thousands of locally and independently owned restaurants over the course of my career — not national chains, not franchises, and not “concepts on paper.”
Real restaurants.
Real owners.
Real pressure.
Over the years, I’ve noticed two things that show up again and again in struggling restaurants:
1. Overwhelm blocks clarity.
Owners are so deep in the weeds that they can’t see the obvious fix sitting right in front of them.
2. The solution is usually simpler than expected.
Not easy — but simple. And often fast once you know where to look.
I’ve learned how to spot the real issue quickly, cut through the noise, and focus on what will actually move the needle — not what sounds good in theory.
I normally work in longer-term consulting engagements.
But I created Pick My Brain because too many owners need answers now, not another long program.
I’m passionate about helping independent restaurants level up, stay profitable, and realize the vision they originally had when they opened their doors.
Small businesses have the most potential, the most room to innovate, and the biggest impact on their communities — and that’s exactly why I work exclusively with them.
“In 30 minutes Angel helped us see why we weren’t selling repeat nights — and gave us the exact playbook.”

Here’s what you get when you Pick My Brain
In a 30-minute Pick My Brain session, you bring one or two pressing challenges.I give you clear, specific, “do-this-today” answers and execution tips.
No jargon.
No vague theory.
No “let’s circle back on that.”
Just practical strategies that I’ve used to help restaurants level up sales, fix operations and turn quiet rooms into money-makers
Why $50 and 30 Minutes?
30 minutes
$50
One problem solved
Real, practical answers
Fast, relatable tactics
30 minutes. $50.
Real solutions you can implement this week.
One Call. One Problem. Real Results.
“I usually work with owners long-term — but too many restaurants don’t need a program. They need a smart second set of eyes right now.”
You might be wondering: “Why so short? Why so affordable?”
Here’s the truth:
It’s focused and fast. In 30 minutes, we get to the heart of your biggest problem. No filler, no fluff, no long-term commitment. Just actionable solutions you can use immediately.
It’s low-risk. $50 is a fraction of the cost of guessing or trying random tactics that may not work. Think of it as a “fast-track problem solver” — small investment, real return.
It works. I’ve been consulting with independently owned restaurants for decades. I know how to identify the key issue, cut through the noise, and give you steps that actually move the needle.
Optional next steps. If you want deeper, hands-on help after, we can discuss a “done-with-you” program — but there’s no pressure. You leave the session with value no matter what.
Bottom line: 30 focused minutes + $50 = clarity, solutions, and a plan that works.
Let’s roll up our sleeves and dig in
Bring one or two of these to your session — or something just as specific:
“We post on social media constantly, but it’s not turning into tables or repeat guests.”
“Our regulars disappeared and we don’t know why.”
“Our menu sells… but not profitably.”
“We have a bar, but it’s not pulling its weight.”
“Promotions bring people in once — then they vanish.”
“My staff doesn’t execute consistently, no matter how many times I explain it.”
“Food costs and labor are creeping up, but I refuse to cheapen the experience.”
“We don’t have a real loyalty loop — just random discounts and hope.”
Or…
That nagging problem you keep circling but can’t quite solve.
We’ll identify the real issue, not the surface symptom — and you’ll leave with clear next steps you can act on immediately.

How can this possibly help me?
I’ve tried everything!
You’re too close to the problem. You’ve been inside your restaurant dealing with the day-to-day.
I’m not emotionally attached to your daily chaos—which means I can see the blind spots instantly. But most importantly, I’ve been working with locally-owned restaurants for over 20 years. I have PROVEN strategies that you probably haven’t heard of. They’re easy to execute and most times, cost little or nothing.
You’ll walk away with:
A clear plan
A new perspective
A short list of steps
Confidence in what to do next
Relief that someone finally gets it.
$50 for 30 minutes
That’s it.
A tiny investment for solutions that can drive thousands in revenue.
And just in case you’re still apprehensive, I’ll take it one step further. If you don’t feel like I’ve given you at least $50 worth of value on our call, I’ll refund your money.
Before you sign up, let me be perfectly clear
Restaurants Today Need More Than Just Food & Service
Customers aren’t coming back because your food is fine.
They’re coming back because they remember the night, the vibe, the experience — and your restaurant feels like a place worth telling friends about.
I help owners build restaurants that:
Create memorable experiences that keep guests talking
Turn casual visitors into loyal regulars without expensive gimmicks
Make every slow night profitable with smart, tested strategies
Bring your vision to life while fixing the invisible problems holding you back
This isn’t theory.
It’s what’s working in restaurants RIGHT NOW — and I’ve done it for dozens of operators.
Bring me your challenge, and I’ll show you how to turn your restaurant into a place people don’t just eat — they remember, recommend and return.
Beyond the Plate — Building Experiences That Stick
Your customers aren’t just hungry — they’re looking for a night they won’t forget.
I help restaurants create:
Moments that make people take photos, post online, and tell friends
Unique mini-events that turn slow nights into busy ones
Small touches that make guests feel like VIPs — even in casual spots
Bring me your biggest challenge, and I’ll show you how to turn your restaurant into the place everyone wants to be.
Loyalty That Doesn’t Require a Punch Card
Forget generic loyalty points. Today’s diners want connection, relevance, and excitement.
I help owners:
Reactivate lapsed customers with personalized campaigns
Make one-time visitors return again and again
Build systems that make guests feel noticed and appreciated
3Marketing That Actually Makes Money (Not Just Noise)
Posting Instagram pics and running random specials isn’t enough anymore.
I help restaurants:
Craft offers that guests respond to immediately
Create promotions that fill tables on slow nights
Turn your marketing into measurable revenue — not just likes
Bring me your one biggest marketing headache and walk away with a clear, actionable plan you can implement this week.
And we solve many of the other challenges locally owned restaurants face!
What Happens on the Call
Once you book your Pick My Brain session, here’s how it works:
Step 1: You fill out a short intake form
Before we ever get on the call, you’ll answer a few focused questions so I can do real prep — not wing it.
You’ll share:
The 1–2 challenges you want to work through
Your restaurant website
Your social media handles
Anything else you think I should see beforehand
This allows me to review your business, spot patterns, and come to the call ready with ideas — not questions.
Step 2: We meet for 30 focused minutes
This is not a “tell me your story” call.
It’s a working session.
We’ll:
Zero in on the real issue (often not the one you think it is)
Talk through what’s holding you back right now
Identify practical changes you can make immediately
No slides. No fluff. Just real conversation and real solutions.
Step 3: You leave with clarity and next steps
By the end of the call, you’ll walk away with:
Clear direction
Specific actions you can take right away
Ideas tailored to your restaurant and market
If it makes sense to continue working together, I’ll tell you what that could look like.
If not, you’ll still leave with value you can use immediately.
Who This Is NOT For
Pick My Brain is not for everyone — and that’s intentional.
This is not for you if:
You’re looking for a magic formula or “one weird trick”
You want someone to do the work for you
You’re not open to direct, honest feedback
You want generic advice that could apply to any restaurant
You run a national or corporate brand
You’re not willing to make changes once you see what’s not working
This is for independently owned restaurant operators who want clarity, fresh thinking, and real solutions — fast.
If that’s you, we’ll get along just fine.
30 minutes. $50. Real solutions you can implement this week.
Still on the fence?
“I’m too busy.” → 30 minutes on your schedule.
“Will this help my actual restaurant?” → I only work with independent restaurants — your struggles are my specialty.
“How do I know it’s worth it?” → If you don’t feel you got at least $50 in value, I’ll refund you.
