What Consult to Grow does

Consult to Grow is a boutique restaurant growth strategy consulting firm founded in 2019 by Jamie Griffin and operated virtually under Good Workforce, LLC, headquartered in Houston, Texas. The firm advises restaurant owners, founders, operators, and investors on scaling systems, profits, and geography, with its work organized around four practice areas: Scale Your Concept (strategic planning and organizational development), Improve Sales and Profit, Improve Operational Performance, and Grow Your Team (HR, leadership, and bonus/incentive program design). A fifth 'Grow Individuals' pillar covers executive coaching, manager development workshops, leader assessments, and one-hour consultations.

The underlying technology stack is virtual-first and lightweight: client delivery runs over Zoom for meetings, Asana for work management, and OneDrive for document collaboration, with no proprietary platform, no AI/ML components, and no mobile app. Supporting the core advisory practice, Consult to Grow distributes a portfolio of downloadable digital tools in MS Word format — including the Annual HR Calendar, Beating Burnout Handout, Restaurant Hurricane Preparedness Tools & Templates, and The Ultimate Hourly Hiring Playbook — which serve as top-of-funnel content assets and adjunct offerings.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees structured on a scaled basis across individuals, small businesses, and mid-sized businesses, priced according to the value the client is expected to realize. Go-to-market is sales-led and content-driven, with every engagement beginning from a free introductory call; brand building runs through an owned blog (reaching hundreds of thousands of readers), email newsletter, social channels (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube), podcast appearances, and webinars targeting restaurant operators. The firm is privately held, founder-owned with no external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed enterprise customers.

Broad incumbents

• Bain & Company: Bain's Consumer Products and Retail practice advises large restaurant brands and foodservice operators on growth strategy and operating model design. Like McKinsey, it represents a broad incumbent against which boutique restaurant growth firms must differentiate on vertical depth and accessibility.
• Deloitte: Deloitte's Consulting practice includes Consumer Industry teams serving restaurant chains on growth strategy, HR transformation, and organizational change. It overlaps with Consult to Grow's growth and people practices at enterprise scale rather than SMB.
• McKinsey & Company: McKinsey operates a dedicated Consumer & Retail practice that serves large restaurant chains and PE-backed multi-unit operators on growth strategy and organizational design. It does not specialize in the SMB restaurant segment that Consult to Grow serves, but competes at the upper end of the same buyer market.
• Boston Consulting Group: BCG's Consumer and Retail practice includes dedicated restaurant chain engagements on growth, digital, and organization transformation. It competes with Consult to Grow for senior executive attention at the largest restaurant operators, even though it does not serve the SMB segment.
• Accenture: Accenture Strategy and its Consumer Goods & Retail industry group serve large restaurant operators on growth, operating model, and workforce transformation. It competes for senior-level mandates at chain operators that Consult to Grow may eventually target.

Emerging players

• The GrowCo Inc. The GrowCo is a restaurant industry growth and development firm offering advisory services to emerging restaurant brands. It targets a similar niche of restaurant founders and multi-unit operators with comparable scaling and franchise development services.

Others

• Heartland Food Products Group: Heartland Food Products Group is a restaurant-adjacent consumer foods company and franchisor that illustrates the type of growth-stage foodservice operator Consult to Grow serves. While not a consultancy, it sits in the same restaurant growth ecosystem and represents the customer archetype rather than a direct competitor.

Direct peers

• The Restaurant Boss: The Restaurant Boss (Sid Raisch) is a restaurant growth advisory and content platform serving independent and emerging chain operators. Like Consult to Grow, it combines consulting services with content distribution (podcasts, books, online programs) targeting restaurant owners seeking growth strategy guidance.
• RestaurantOwner.com: RestaurantOwner.com is a membership-based advisory and education platform serving independent restaurant owners. It directly competes with Consult to Grow in delivering growth, operations, and HR-focused guidance to small and mid-sized restaurant operators via a subscription model.
• Pivotal Growth Partners: Pivotal Growth Partners is a restaurant industry growth consulting firm that helps emerging and multi-unit restaurant brands scale. It competes head-to-head with Consult to Grow on strategy, franchise development, and operational advisory for restaurant operators.
