“Our marketing was just the ’shotgun’ approach until I called Jeffrey and he helped us realize that a focused approach utilizing a real marketing plan that planned and measured results would allow us to reach our growth goals. We are actually up over 40% consistently now and continuing to grow!”

“I was a couple days from signing a lease on our second location when I stopped and caught an article Jeffrey had written about “Restaurant Leases”. I was intrigued and I called him. I was so impressed, I proceeded to hire him right in the middle of the “Free Consultation” to negotiate our lease. We just signed off on the LOI (Letter of Intent) and we will have saved nearly $60,000. Obviously, I will have Jeffrey negotiate our 3rd location’s lease also!”
Wondering what’s going on inside your customers’ heads these days? You can learn a lot about what they value in a full-service restaurant dining experience by checking out the July, 2006 issue of Consumer Reports magazine, in which the ad-free magazine ranks 103 casual and family dining full-service chains. There’s good news on many fronts for every operator, chain or not, and even the nitpickers at CR say there is already enough nutritional information and healthy dining options on most full-service menus. But, wow, did they ever have it in for Friendly’s.
