Partnering with Savory Hospitality over the past three months has been a game-changer for Descanso. Their consulting sharpened our operations, strengthened our brand focus, and elevated the standards of service across both locations. The training was practical and motivating, giving our team the confidence to deliver consistency at every touchpoint. More than just operations, their insights helped us clarify who we are as a brand and how to communicate that to our guests. The results are clear; our team is stronger, our culture is tighter, and the guest experience has never been more aligned with our vision.

Thanasi P.
F&B Director @ Metropolitan Theaters
I contacted Savory Hospitality for a new restaurant and bar concept in Colorado. They helped our team with the overall concept, menu, layout design, and staffing for a head chef. Working with Salar and his team went so well, that I had him consult on a restaurant turnaround in Long beach. They worked with our staff on training, hiring and menu development
