About Laurent

I support restaurant managers, networks, and multi-site groups who want to regain control of their profitability, organization, and management.

My intervention is particularly useful when revenue is growing but complexity is increasing faster than performance: squeezed margins, organization too dependent on the manager, lack of visibility on per-site performance, decisions made under pressure.

I intervene with a simple, factual approach rooted in the realities of the field:
- Structured diagnosis
- Identification of priority levers
- Realistic action plan
- Ongoing support.

Before consulting, I managed and led restaurant structures with high stakes for over 30 years, in multi-concept, multi-site, and demanding environments.

My career has involved economic management, organizational structuring, upskilling management teams, coordinating with head office functions, and making strategic and operational trade-offs.

I do not act as a theoretical consultant, but as a partner for reflection, decision-making, and structuring, with a manager-to-manager approach.
