“I had the pleasure of working with Gil from Profit Plus on numerous occasions. Our improved food cost and better understanding of our financials is a testament to his experience and knowledge of the restaurant business. He genuinely cares about the employees and does an excellent job of conveying goals to the staff. He was always available to take my phone calls and would visit us at a moment’s notice whenever needed. Thank you Gil!”

“Gil has been and continues to be instrumental in assisting us implement the proper procedures and processes that make up a successful operation. Having Gil available to us is a value added benefit that truly makes a difference. What makes Gil especially unique in my opinion is the manner in which he is able to deliver so much useful material without the inclusion of ego. Gil’s technique should appeal to both the seasoned restaurant veteran wanting to expand their knowledge as we as a beginner such as myself interested in starting their operation on the right foot. ”

I can certainly say that in each and every conversation I have ever had with Gil I have gained new insights and valuable information which have allowed me to make better decisions for our organization.
