Most owners think the fix is more sales, more hours, or more money. Chef Melly breaks down the three beliefs keeping you stuck, and what to do instead.
01
Busy Doesn't Mean Profitable
Learn how to cost your menu, read your food and labor numbers, and see which items actually make you money, so a packed Saturday finally shows up in your paycheck.
02
Your Team Can Carry It, With the Right Systems
Discover how clear roles, simple SOPs, and shift routines stop the constant questions and let your team run service without you stepping back on the line.
03
Fix Location One Before You Chase Location Two
See how to use the POS you already pay for, organize your numbers, and plan your owner pay, so expansion or funding adds freedom instead of more stress.
Hear directly from food business owners who have worked with Chef Melly.


Chef Melly (Melissa Gardner) owns Coasis Restaurant & Bar, LOVE22, Love Cafe, and Three Generations Food Truck. She's a chef and operator first. She knows the early mornings, the call-outs, the supply problems, and the nights going over sales wondering where the profit went.
What changed things wasn't working harder. It was realizing the owner was the bottleneck. With her background in Information Technology and Management, she started connecting the menu, the team, the POS, and the numbers, so her businesses could run without her holding everything together.
Now she teaches established restaurant and food truck owners to do the same: know their numbers, build a team that follows clear standards, and create a business that pays them consistently. Her mission is simple: help owners build the business they pictured when they started.

You didn't open your doors to work seven days a week, cover every shift, and take home whatever is left. You started with a vision. In this free workshop, you'll see where your profit is going, what still depends on you, and the first steps toward clear numbers, a team you can trust, and a planned paycheck.
Why is it free? Chef Melly wants to show you exactly how she looks at a menu, a team, and a set of numbers, so you can decide for yourself what your business needs next.
