For over two decades as a national growth strategist, I’ve worked with restaurant Founders and leaders to successfully scale their businesses through every kind of economy—booms, busts, and everything in between.

And time and time again no matter what the economy there are two critical factor that separates those who win and those who miss the opportunity in a dynamic economy. This first factor is the best way to win is to proactively prepare to win. The second factor is to invest in the success of your business.

Right now, we’re heading into a Q4 that’s shaping up to be very dynamic – it will have winners and losers for sure. We are already starting to see what is happening:

- Customers are watching their spending.
- They’re craving value, yes—but more importantly, experiences they value.
- Costs will continue to a be pressure point both in COGs and Labor
- Uncertainty in the global market place will continue to keep the economy chaotic.

Let’s grow together and celebrate 2025!

What makes this different?

It’s based on the foundation of how I began Kathleen Wood Partners: when great leaders get access to great information, they achieve great things. That’s how brands like Raising Cane’s, Walk-On’s, Toast Coffee + Kitchen, Bango Bowls, and Tap Room went from small business to big business to billion-dollar brands. And we are committed to giving you the same access to strategies, tools, and resources to achieve greater success.

Ask yourself this one question – “in six months from now do you want to be celebrating 2025 or do you want to be stressing out about how you are going to paying your bills in 2026? The choice is truly yours on where you want to be and the opportunity is now to create your destiny. The Economy is...

Here’s something no one tells founders:
Sales struggles are rarely about effort.

They’re usually about systems.
Most teams are working hard — just not aligned.
Most menus are full — but not engineered to move margin.
Most promotions feel busy — but aren’t actually building revenue.

And if that sounds like your world… you’re not alone.
You’re just ready for something better.

The Revenue Revolution Series gives you the structure, systems, and momentum to change that — fast.

You’ll walk away with:

-A 90-day profit-first calendar you can implement instantly
-The Menu Margin Builder to increase high-profit sales
-Our six-figure gift card strategy (just in time for holidays)
-Playbooks your team can follow tomorrow

We built this for people like you — founders who care deeply, lead boldly, and deserve to see the numbers reflect it.
