The Gilkey Restaurant Consulting Group -

Scott Gilkey and his team at The Gilkey Restaurant Group have been a tremendous asset to Old Carolina BBQ Co. Initially implementing Performance Management techniques, Scott helped our team get focused through improved communication. Operations and financial performance were immediate beneficiaries. As new opportunities and projects emerge for our brand, we trust Scott and his team to devote the time we don't always have for research and/or implementation. Scott has been a trusted sounding board for this CEO looking to pick-the-brain of an experienced industry veteran. I highly recommend The Gilkey Restaurant Group and would be happy to speak to anyone considering their services.

The Gilkey Restaurant Consulting Group was particularly influential in assisting me refine my vision for my restaurant concept. Their advisory services included interior design, kitchen design, menu development, recipe development, culinary operating systems implementation, management training, opening team member training and concept launch.

Since our grand opening three years ago, the Gilkey Group has provided me on-going operations consulting, service training, management training, menu evolution and new recipe development. Crockett’s Public House was recently featured on the Food Network and enjoys the success associated with being a featured restaurant on the Food Network.

Rather than simply tell me "what I need to know", the Gilkey group listens carefully to my concerns and goals and assists me in tailoring a plan to specifically to address them. I've not experienced this with all of my consultants over the years and appreciate this aspect of their professionalism. I'm happy to recommend them to other business professionals.

At Holland America Princess Alaska, we have had the opportunity to work with the Gilkey group on a number of projects. In my opinion that statement is enough, as we continue to go back to them when looking for assistance on projects. They have worked with us on restaurant design, menu planning and training. Scott is a great listener and is not too married to any idea, whether his or others. The product you come out with will be top notch.

I am very fortunate that I selected The Gilkey Restaurant Consulting Group to assist me with the creation of my new restaurant concept. From project launch to opening day the Gilkey Group was by my side assisting and supporting my restaurant creation.

Their services included brand development, design development, menu and recipe assistance, operating systems and tools development, management and team member training, and concept implementation and launch. I would say their strongest suit is creating craveable menu selections. The reviews indicate I now have a highly successful business and I would highly recommend TGRCG for all your restaurant consulting needs.

Scott Gilkey helped us tremendously in regards to understanding ratios, industry best practices, and introducing us to state-of-the art software to help us manage inventory and employee expenses. Gilkey's experience is what you pay for when you hire his services, and his experience is invaluable. He continues to check in with us and is always open to a phone call if you want some advice. The investment was well worth it.
