ABOUT
My goal is straightforward – to help serious business owners generate more clients!
It began with a question: why do so many passionate entrepreneurs struggle to turn great ideas into thriving businesses? After years of working alongside global brands and small startups alike, I saw the same challenges repeat — lack of structure, inconsistent operations, and missed growth opportunities. That’s what led to the creation of Silver Spoon: a consulting practice dedicated to helping business owners build profitable, sustainable operations across food, retail, and service industries.
Since 2018, we’ve supported restaurants, coffee shops, boutique retailers, and local service providers through every stage of business — from launch to expansion. Whether you’re opening a new express location, planning a franchise rollout, or simply trying to stop financial leaks, we’re here with proven systems and hands-on support to move your business forward.
Our team brings deep operational experience, a strong focus on profitability, and the ability to uncover new revenue opportunities. We help entrepreneurs simplify their day-to-day, build efficient teams, and develop models that scale — without losing the soul of what they’ve built.
At Silver Spoon, we believe success shouldn’t be out of reach. With the right strategy and guidance, your business can thrive — and we’re here to help you make that happen.
