Our Cafe & Bakery in South Seattle WA. A nostalgic bakery that focuses on "pastries that your Grandma used to make" and local Stamp Act coffee.
We recently expanded this into the unit next door to put in a full commercial kitchen to be able to keep
up with demand.

LJ Meat Shop 2020
This was created in the middle of the Covid 19 pandemic. We couldn't utilize all of our seating so we decided to bring in a meat cooler and sell meat to the neighborhood. Now it is it's own operation and focuses on all different types of Wagyu Beef, Prime Beef
and Heritage Pork.

My Philosophy
I'm not here to dictate the presentation of your dishes—you’ve got that covered.
However, understanding how to keep your finances in check is crucial. Even if you have a manager handling the business side, it's essential that you grasp these financial fundamentals.
As a restaurant business coach I will teach you the critical knowledge you need and what you should expect from your manager's weekly reports to keep you living in reality and NOT best case scenario.
The Custom Course
An easy 1 on 1 course (with me,) to create all the custom dashboards and checklists that you will need to run the business side of your restaurant AND manage your "Manager".
I will help be your guide anytime you have questions. I'm currently opening more restaurants now and will help you save SO much money and time on your first restaurant.
