Who we are

At Johnson Food Service Consulting, we help restaurants, food service operators, and corporate dining programs fix the things that aren't working—and make the things that are working even better.

Led by Brian Johnson, a culinary veteran with over 20 years of experience in the trenches (and occasionally in a suit), we bring practical solutions, strategic insight, and just enough sarcasm to keep things interesting.

Brian’s journey started like a lot of great kitchen stories: as a dishwasher who talked too much and got thrown on the line during a dinner rush. Twenty years, a few hundred menus, and a couple gray hairs later, he's helped lead multi-unit operations, corporate rollouts, and consulting projects for some of the biggest names in food service.

What We Do (besides drink too much coffee):

  • Menu development that actually makes money

  • Recipe and SKU alignment (especially if NetMenu has you seeing double)

  • Operational tune-ups to stop the daily chaos

  • Culinary training for teams that need a spark

  • Procurement and compliance support so you’re not overpaying for lettuce

If it’s broken, we’ll fix it. If it’s working, we’ll make it better. And if it’s a club sandwich… we might just remove it from the menu altogether.
