About Feldman
I help restaurant and bar owners improve performance fast.
Hospitality Operations Consultant & Remote Restaurant Auditor delivering KPI-driven audits, menu engineering, cost control, SOPs, and EU-wide offsite bar events. I combine hands-on operator experience with data-led tools to fix leakages, lift margins, and design seamless mobile bar setups (coffee breaks, custom beer, corporate/private events).
What sets me apart: end-to-end ownership (from concept to P&L), clear commercial proposals, and measurable results within weeks.
Typical projects & deliverables: 72-hour remote audits with action plan, full ops audit & SOPs, menu & pour-cost models, staff training and run-of-show, EU-wide mobile bar logistics and budgeting, post-event P&L and KPI dashboards.
