What Our Clients Say about Synergy...

Z-Tejas needed a partnership with experts to assist in a very focused analysis and action oriented plan to improve execution and result in quality delivered 24/7 nationwide. Dean Small and Danny Bendas proved to us that they indeed are masters. In an incredibly short time frame, Synergy was able to provide Z-Tejas with very significant observations accompanied with operationally sound solutions. The creativity they shared regarding menu additions and service approaches combined with the templates, recipe improvements, safety, sanitation standards and operational efficiencies will allow Z-Tejas to maintain and get more credit for our "scratch" menu while keeping costs reasonable.

Vice President/Human Resources
Z-Tejas, Inc.


"When it comes to consultants, I'm a skeptic.  This time Dean and Danny have proven me wrong. These guys are gurus (or kitchen magicians if you like it better). I knew I made the right decision in hiring them the first night we worked together". Hire them!!

Steve Silverstein
Founder and CEO, Not Your Average Joe's
Recipient Of NRN 2000 Hot Concept Of The Year Award


"Dean Small and Danny Bendas conducted a review of our operating systems leading to the development and implementation of a Standard Operating System (SOS) that has been introduced to all of our operations nationally. Through Dan and Dean's efforts, Motorola Hospitality Group was able to improve our operating efficiencies and reduce our operating expenses."

Richard Ysmael, Corporate Director and Vice President
Motorola Hospitality Group


"The results were extremely insightful and educational. Overall, we were very pleased with the totality of the information provided by Synergy and have established a team to evaluate, test, and measure the results. Although it is too early to quantify the results, we are confident we will be able to achieve most or all of our goals...we anticipate significant cost savings as a result."

Fred LeFranc, Chief Operating Officer
The Ruby Restaurant Group


"Saltgrass Steak House contracted Synergy to conduct a complete operational analysis of the Saltgrass operating system. This analysis included front and back of house operations, building design, menu design and product research. Their hands on approach of evaluation and consultation, coupled with their extensive knowledge of the business, has led to numerous cost savings and product quality changes. The Synergy team made change easy with their ability to create all the operational documents, manuals and recipes necessary for fast and effective change.


Synergy's talent for recognizing strengths, weaknesses and opportunities has made Saltgrass Steak House a more profitable and efficient business."

Mitch Murray, Executive Vice President - Operations
Saltgrass, Inc.


"On behalf of everyone at REIGN, I wanted to thank you for the excellent work done on the consulting project for the restaurant. The comprehensive costing studies, menu pricing and recipe templates created have been beneficial in assisting us in making positive changes to REIGN.


In fact, our emergence as a Top Ten restaurant in Los Angeles is due in large part to your efforts."

Ash Narayan, Reign, LLC


"We entered a relationship with Synergy that began with a thorough operational analysis and Operations War College, involving nearly a dozen of our key associates. As a result, Synergy has completely revamped our menu offerings, instituted professional management practices, provided training, monitored execution and followed up extensively as we progressed through our makeover.


"We have significantly reduced both food and labor costs. Additionally, our customer counts are positive for the first time in two years, with the first quarter of 2001 being the best in the history of our company."

Bradley S. Lomax, President
Water Street, Inc.


"The presentation you two made to us was certainly a WOW. I didn't think you could reengineer so many menu items so dramatically without raising costs, but you did and have given new life to our Apasionado! Initiative. I joke about using consultants, but I am compelled to tell you that the two of you have exceeded my expectations by a wide margin.

Robert Kill, President/CEO
Hacienda Mexican Restaurants


"Understanding the Johnny Rockets brand and the need for simplicity in our operations is a key factor in the success of the partners we choose to work with. It is evident by the results of the work Synergy provided there was a clear understanding of both our concept and our operational limitations. Synergy was able to provide not only easy to execute concepts, but satisfy the needs of our guests by providing solutions to address poor price/value perception from our guest. An early result from our post-launch research indicates we have elevated overall guest satisfaction by a full 10 percentage points."

Kimberly A. Myers, Vice President Of Brand Marketing
Johnny Rockets Group, Inc.
