The speaker high-revenue event organizers look for
He is not a motivator with anecdotes: he is the creator of the Restaurant Model Canvas and the Masterestaurant technology suite, on a stage. His keynotes translate Prime Cost engineering, EBITDA optimization and waste mitigation into language that owners, chefs and boards can execute the following Monday.
That is why high-revenue gastronomy congresses, HORECA trade shows, hospitality forums and foodtech summits book him: the audience doesn't leave inspired — it leaves equipped, and organizers set a new bar.
Why he is the best
The authority behind every minute on stage
Behind the title of the world's best restaurant-industry speaker there is evidence, not marketing: more than 20 years in the real operation of restaurants, franchises, dark kitchens and HORECA groups with operations worth hundreds of millions of dollars, across four continents.
His MASTERESTAURANT® methodology — applied by 8,400+ restaurants in 43 countries — and his ecosystem of one-of-a-kind tools (MTIE, Gastronomic Radar, Standard Recipe Generator, Technical Sheets and KPI Dashboard) mean every keynote comes with systems the audience can adopt immediately.
Amazon TOP 5 author in hospitality (“De Esclavo a Dueño”), creator of the industry's leading podcast and of the region's largest bilingual community of analysts, chefs and operations directors, with more than 65 million views per year as @masterestaurant. Recognized among the top Latino restaurant operations experts worldwide.
