For restaurant owners doing $10M a year and up
Meet people at your level (and above).
Join the F&B Founders Board and build a restaurant business that runs & grows without you.
Inside the F&B Founders Board, you’re in the room with other founders at your size across different industries. You’ll see what they’re doing, what’s actually working, and you will get personalized & actionable insights from Alex Yanovsky.
Common questions
How do I get an invitation?
If you are doing more than $10M a year, request an invite from this page and we will talk. At that size there is normally a leadership team in place already, and the room runs on that.
Under $10M, the way in is the Restaurant Accelerator. You install the operating system over six months, and we can talk about the board when the business gets there.
What does it cost?
We go through pricing on a call, once we have looked at your business together and know the board is the right fit. It is an annual commitment, because a board gets more useful as the people in it get to know your business.
Membership includes weekly coaching with Alex, the full operating system, the private board and the live events.
My partners would need to agree. Can they join the call?
Yes, please bring them. A decision like this usually involves a partner, an investor or a family member, and it is better for them to hear it first hand and ask their own questions.
Do I have to do the Accelerator first?
Not above $10M a year. At that size the systems are usually there in some form, and six months installing them would waste your time, so request an invite and we will talk.
Under $10M, yes. The room works best when every owner in it has stepped out of the daily questions, and the Accelerator is how that gets done.
Am I big enough for this room?
The board is for owners doing more than $10M a year. What usually comes with that size matters as much as the number: a leadership team, managers who own their own numbers, and reporting that reaches you without being chased.
If you have all three and you are a little under $10M, ask anyway. If you are over $10M and none of them are true, the Accelerator will get you further, and we will say so.
Why is it invitation only?
The value of the room is the other people in it. An owner who is still answering every question on every shift cannot add much to a conversation about opening the next three locations, and the conversation gets worse for everybody, including them.
What actually happens in the room?
You bring the real problem, with numbers. The room works on it, Alex included, and you leave with your next move. Between sessions the chat stays open and your documents get reviewed.
It works more like a board meeting for your business than a class about restaurants.
How is this different from the Accelerator?
They do different jobs. The Accelerator installs the system over six months. The board is where you decide what to do next with it, with other owners at your size and with Alex.
What if I already have managers?
Good, at this size almost everyone does. The question is whether anyone ever wrote down what each of them owns and how they are measured. If that is missing, the Accelerator is the faster fix.
Do you guarantee results?
No. We provide education and coaching and we never promise revenue, profit or growth, because every business is different. The results on this site are real and dated, they come from owners who did a lot of work, and they are not typical.
Results vary and are not typical. Outcomes depend on each owner's business, market, team and effort. We provide education and coaching, not guaranteed revenue, profit or growth.
