What People Are Saying

Some of our clients have something to say...



I worked with Artie for almost two years on a project and found him to be very professional and extremely knowledgeable. Artie help me immensely through all phases of the project which included the initial concept development, menu design, facility research and identification, lease review and negotiations, and restaurant operations. Because of his extensive experience Artie saved me much time, money and aggravation. I highly recommend leveraging Artie’s decades of experience if you are trying to get a concept off the ground.

-Michael Morehouse, Founder, MCW Ventures, Inc 



I have held every job there is in the restaurant industry over the last 25 years, yet the time I spent learning and working with Artie Simcox was more valuable than anything else in my career.

With Artie's guidance, I have been able to open and operate two successful locations and the success we have found is directly related to his teachings.

Having worked with Artie over the years on multiple projects he is my go-to person when a client needs consulting service. Artie has a clear vision of what the customer is trying to achieve and pays close attention to details. This makes for a seamless build-out and a finished location that stands out. Artie's knowledge of equipment and menus helps the client purchase what they need to do the job and meet their budget needs.
