We are veteran hospitality entrepreneurs, designers, operators, and strategists with decades of experience across the restaurant, bar, foodservice distribution, and supplier industries. Our leadership team is made up of former CEOs, CFOs, GMs, and founders who bring unmatched real-world expertise to every engagement.
Our founder, Eric Faber, grew up in the foodservice industry. His stepfather—a true industry pioneer—was the first manufacturer of plastic cutlery and straws in the 1950s, helping launch what would become the modern foodservice disposables market and supplying early giants like McDonald’s.
From a young age, Eric was involved in manufacturing ventures focused on plastic cups, containers, and foodservice packaging, laying the groundwork for a lifelong career that bridges operations, manufacturing, distribution, and brand strategy.
Eric went on to found Packaging Resources, a leading foodservice and retail packaging consultancy, and U.S. Delivery Consultants, which supports both operators and delivery providers in optimizing and scaling their logistics operations.
Over the last 35 years, he has become a trusted advisor to many of the most respected names in hospitality, including:
Applebee’s • Buffalo Wild Wings • Capital Grille • Carl’s Jr. • Chipotle • Cipriani • Compass Group • CPK • Cracker Barrel • CUT by Wolfgang Puck • Darden • Fleming’s • Four Seasons Dining • Jamba Juice • José Andrés Group • KFC • Lettuce Entertain You • Mastro’s • McDonald’s • MGM Resorts • Morton’s • Nobu • Ocean Prime • Olive Garden • Outback • Panda Express • Panera Bread • PF Chang’s • Red Robin • RBI • Ruth’s Chris • Starbucks • Taco Bell • Texas Roadhouse • The Cheesecake Factory • Waffle House • Wendy’s • Yum Brands • Zuma
…and dozens of other premier, emerging, and chef-driven concepts worldwide.
Eric’s restaurant career began at age 16 and accelerated during his formative years with Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises in Chicago. He later founded U.S. Restaurant Consultants, now regarded as one of the nation’s top advisory firms. His leadership experience includes service on the Consulting Board of the California Restaurant Association and the National Restaurant Association.

When we work together, it’s a partnership from day one. You’ll receive personal attention and first-class results from the very beginning—because that’s what you deserve.
We operate with honor, integrity, and relentless hard work. You won’t be treated like just another client; you’ll be treated like our only client. Every call you make will be answered directly by a stakeholder in the firm. No gatekeepers. No excuses. No barriers to excellence.
We offer a complimentary initial phone consultation of up to 30 minutes. After that, we bill hourly to consult on the best path forward. Together, we’ll outline a clear plan: timeline, milestones, objectives, and how we can help you achieve your goals.
Once we agree on the scope and level of involvement, we’ll present a detailed proposal. This may include a retainer, and could also involve shared ownership and investment—both in time and capital.
