RESTAURANT FREEDOM ACADEMY
Stability. Profitability. Relief.
What Restaurant Freedom Academy Is
Restaurant Freedom Academy is built for
one type of owner: the one carrying the
entire business on their back, trying to
hold everything together while
the pressure keeps rising.
If your restaurant feels chaotic,inconsistent,
or heavier than it should — RFA gives you
a place to breathe again. A place to think.
A place to get support from someone
who’s lived this life.
How It Works
I’ll be teaching and coaching twice a month and bringing owners together inside a private online
community where they can ask questions, get clarity, and learn from each other. RFA is built
on live coaching, Q&A, and community, and I’ll keep turning your real-world
needs into a growing library of support.
2 LIVE SESSIONS EVERY MONTH
Real coaching + focused
teaching on the issues that
actually hit your bottom line.
PRIVATE ONLINE COMMUNITY
Owners helping owners.
Honest conversations.
Real solutions. No judgment.
TOOLS THAT GROW WITH YOU
I build tools, checklists,
and trainings based on what
the group is facing — not what
a consultant “thinks” you need.
The Core Framework: Restaurant Triage (4S)
This is the survival-stage blueprint we use inside RFA:
About Jason
I’ve spent more than 25 years in this business, and Chick-fil-A consistently put me on the toughest assignments — the restaurants that needed a reset and a steady hand. Over time, I built a reputation for getting struggling restaurants stable again: stronger culture, cleaner execution, higher sales, and profit returning to the business.
While I was a franchise owner, Chick-fil-A also asked me to work with new franchisees to help them get off to strong starts. That gave me an even clearer view of what owners actually need on day one — simple structure, clarity, and someone who can take complex problems and make them feel doable.
LaterI took one of the lowest-performing Chick-fil-A restaurants in the chain and rebuilt it into a $10M+ operation. And since then, I’ve led seven full turnarounds. Different circumstances, same pattern: stabilize the culture, simplify the systems, and sales and profits follow.
Part of what’s fueled my success is that I see potential in people long before they see it in themselves. I’ve always had a gift for helping owners believe they can win again — and belief changes how they lead.
At the heart of all of this — I want people to find joy in this work again. We’re part of a unique group who choose the restaurant life. It’s not for everyone, but for the ones who feel it in their bones, it becomes part of who we are. Helping them reconnect to that — to the pride, the fun, the sense of purpose — that’s what drives me more than anything.
Today, my wife and I own Sidewalk Coffee & Bagel, built from the ground up. And I’m using everything I’ve learned — the scars, the victories, the turnarounds — to help other owners get out of survival mode and finally feel proud of their business again.
I know what it feels like to carry a restaurant on your back.
And I know the way out.
MISSION
To help owners get their restaurant under control, lead with confidence, and finally get back to the life they imagined when they opened their doors.
