What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities to lead innovative hospitality projects that enhance guest experiences and drive operational success.

I am a results-driven restaurant consultant with over 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry. My career has been dedicated to improving operational efficiency, increasing revenue, and enhancing guest satisfaction across various restaurant concepts. I have a proven track record in menu development, staff training, and understanding market trends, which allows me to provide actionable solutions tailored to each client's needs.

As the founder of The Anaya Group LLC, I have worked with numerous establishments, including Kokomo, Cantina46, and Pier 115 Bar & Grill. My role involves creating brands, concept design, and providing financial planning to ensure the success of each project. I believe in promoting inspirational leadership through motivation, which adds value to the overall success of any operation I am involved with.

Previously, I served as the Manager of Operations for OneFive Hospitality, where I trained staff across multiple Michelin-starred restaurants and implemented effective operational processes. My experience as a General Manager has equipped me with the skills to increase sales and improve service efficiency, making me a valuable asset in any hospitality setting.
