RESTAURANT RESOURCE GROUP INC
SARASOTA, FLORIDA

is the President of the Restaurant Resource Group. A 45-year veteran of the industry, John began his career in the kitchens of some rather unmemorable restaurants in the late 60's. Things started to look up as he charged his way through the ranks, first as an egg and pancake slinging short order cook at Flapjacks in Aspen, CO and then on to bigger, and more importantly, higher paying industry gigs in the New England region (with a few kitchen "jockey" positions thrown in to round out his rather limited culinary chops). Thank goodness he discovered that his skills lay in more entrepreneurial endeavors within the industry. He has since created, designed, brought to life and operated a variety of restaurant concepts ranging from City Market, a New York Style Gourmet Deli and Cafe; City Side, an upscale and eclectic fine dining restaurant, Jazz Bar and casual cafe and Aesop's Bagels, a Boston based chain of retail bagel cafes with a manufacturing plant selling frozen bagels to all main-line New England food distributors. In 1999 John hung up his apron, and created the Restaurant Resource Group. Initially the company provided financial management and support services to Boston area restaurants. John now provides these services to a national clientele. In 2002 he wrote and published the Making a profit in the restaurant business is a challenge. We know first-hand having owned & operated restaurants since 1982! We Help Assure Long Term Success Adequate sales, experience, and capital can help, but solid financial and operational controls are a must for long-term success.
