Adding to the stress of LYFE Kitchen’s first day open to the public was the fact that its Palo Alto location is to be the first of numerous locations across the United States over the next few years. Enter, Synergy Restaurant Consultants.Hand-picked by LYFE Kitchen’s CEO, Mike Roberts, early in the concept development process, the Synergy team influenced and/or engineered everything from the menu to the kitchen design to training the service staff, and everything in between. Their sixteen month long involvement resulted in a “WOW Guest Experience” on opening day that was “out of the park” successful.“At the end of the day, in the restaurant business, success is measured by how well you execute, in every aspect of your food, beverage and hospitality strategy”, commented Dean Small, Founder and Managing Partner of Synergy Restaurant Consultants. “How well each component of a restaurant is executed is how we measure our success.” In preparation for the big day, Small and his partner, Danny Bendas, actually cooked alongside what would become the permanent kitchen staff, coaching, mentoring and helping the LYFE team streamline their process to insure consistency and flawless execution.Synergy Restaurant Consultants is best known for its ability to scale restaurant concepts and has supported over 200 National Restaurant chains both domestically and internationally.
