From a recent class attendee, and longtime restaurateur,
“…Harris Eckstut is outstanding. He is the most knowledgeable restaurant consultant that I have met in my career in Philadelphia. His lecture was a tour de force. In a low key fashion, he covered a great amount of information….”
Another grateful attendee shared this thank you note:
“The information you gave us was beyond useful! We now have a more realistic perspective about the restaurant business.”
Greg Vernick, Chef/Owner, Vernick Food & Drink in Philadelphia:
“Vernick Food & Drink would not be as successful without the help of Harris Eckstut.”
Connie Correia, owner of the Pop Shop in Collingswood, NJ:
“Harris took us by the hand and taught us all the things about the restaurant business that we didn’t even know we didn’t know! Because of him, we are still in business and now thriving instead of floundering.”
His professional services include: leasing and development, sales and purchases, operational analysis and planning, “turnarounds,” and “start-ups” for the independent or prospective restaurant owner. He also evaluates business plans, operations and budgets for lenders, investors, developers, community organizations, and urban and suburban Main Street planning.
