We are veteran hospitality entrepreneurs, designers, and operators with deep roots in the restaurant, bar, foodservice distribution, and supplier industries. Our leadership team is composed of former CEOs, CFOs, general managers, and founders who bring unmatched experience and perspective to every project we touch.
Our founder, Eric, was raised in the foodservice industry. His stepfather, a true industry pioneer, was the first manufacturer of plastic cutlery and straws in the 1950s and helped launch the foodservice disposables market—becoming an early supplier to iconic brands like McDonald’s.
From a young age, Eric was involved in manufacturing ventures focused on plastic cups and food containers, laying the foundation for what would become a lifelong career in the industry.
Eric is the founder of Packaging Resources, a renowned foodservice and retail packaging consultancy, and US Delivery Consultants, which supports both businesses and delivery providers in scaling their operations. Alongside his work in packaging and logistics, Eric became a trusted advisor to many of the world’s top foodservice brands over the last 35 years, including:
McDonald’s, Starbucks, Chipotle, Compass Group, Darden, Restaurant Brands International, Yum Brands, Taco Bell, Panda Express, Wendy’s, KFC, Cracker Barrel, Panera Bread, The Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden, Outback, Carl’s Jr., Subway, Applebee’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Red Robin, CPK, Jamba Juice, Texas Roadhouse, Chili's, Waffle House, PF Chang’s, Capital Grille, Costco, Walmart, Target, and dozens of other premier and chef-driven hospitality concepts.
Eric’s restaurant career began at the age of 16 and took off after his early work with Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises in Chicago. He went on to establish US Restaurant Consultants, now recognized as one of the nation’s top restaurant consulting firms. His expertise has earned him roles as a Consulting Board Member of the California Restaurant Association and the National Restaurant Association’s Consulting Board.

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.
