Our Story
Who We Are – International Restaurant & Hospitality Consulting Group
International Restaurant & Hospitality Consulting Group (IRHC) is a global restaurant, retail, and hospitality consulting firm built by operators, not theorists.
We started this company with one simple belief. Businesses deserve guidance from people who have actually been in their shoes. Our team is made up of former CEOs, owners, and senior operators from some of the largest and most successful restaurant, hospitality, retail, hotel, resort, and casino brands in the world. We have lived the day-to-day realities, the challenges, the pressure, and the decisions that come with running complex operations, and we bring that real-world experience to every client we serve.
Why We Started IRHC
We saw too many businesses struggling not because they lacked passion or effort, but because they were too close to the day-to-day to clearly see what was holding them back.
When you are deep in operations, it is easy to miss the bigger picture. Inefficiencies, missed opportunities, and outdated systems can slow growth. That is where we come in. IRHC was created to provide clarity, perspective, and proven solutions that help businesses move forward with confidence instead of guesswork.
What We Are Proud Of
We are proud of the results we have helped our clients achieve. Stronger operations, improved profitability, clearer brand positioning, and sustainable growth.
We are equally proud of the trust our clients place in us and the long-term relationships we have built across the globe. Our work spans restaurants, retail brands, hospitality groups, hotels, resorts, and casinos, and our success is measured by our clients’ success.
What Makes Us Different
Most consulting firms advise from the outside. We consult from experience.
Our consultants do not just analyze data. They understand it because they have managed teams, opened locations, scaled brands, and navigated real operational challenges themselves. We look at your entire business, including operations, sales, branding, systems, and strategy, to identify root causes, not just symptoms. Every solution we deliver is custom built. No templates. No cookie cutter playbooks. Just smart, practical strategies designed specifically for your business and your goals.
Our Values
At IRHC, client satisfaction is never optional. We operate with integrity, transparency, and accountability in everything we do. Our core value is simple. Over-deliver and exceed expectations every time. We treat every client relationship as a partnership, giving your business the same care, attention, and strategic focus we would give our own.
Our Vision for the Future
Our vision is to continue setting the standard for restaurant, retail, and hospitality consulting worldwide.
As the industry evolves, IRHC remains focused on helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive. This may include expanding into new markets, improving operational efficiency, or rethinking strategy for the next phase of growth.
With offices and partners in Orlando, Dallas, Portland, Philadelphia, London, New Delhi, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Kuala Lumpur, we are uniquely positioned to support clients on a truly global scale.
