    The Origin

    From server to Managing Partner, through every slammed Friday night and thin margin - this is the story of why Rooted & Rich exists and how nearly two decades in restaurants shaped every strategy we create.

    Born in the Restaurant Grind

    Seventeen years wasn't just time served - it was a masterclass in understanding what really moves the needle. From turning around underperforming stores to leading teams through the chaos, I learned that great marketing isn't about pretty posts - it's about filling seats and building relationships that last.

    "Every shift taught me something new about what customers actually want and how to deliver it consistently."

    The Gap

    Marketing That Actually Gets Restaurants

    Too many marketing agencies treat restaurants like any other business. They miss the nuances - the seasonal rushes, the review sensitivity, the tight margins, the fact that your reputation can change with a single bad night. We get it because we've lived it.
