“I had the pleasure of working with Lise for over a decade, during which time she held several key roles across my restaurants in a management capacity, most recently serving as Operations Director. In this capacity, Lise oversaw every aspect of our business — from commercial strategy and team development to refining our guest experience and operational systems. She was a natural problem solver who approached every challenge with a fresh perspective, efficiency, and a sense of fairness.

Throughout her career with us, Lise proved herself to be an invaluable asset. Her deep understanding of how restaurants truly operate meant she worked seamlessly with both kitchen and front-of-house teams. Lise excelled in guest-facing situations and had a gift for shaping service culture — ensuring every touchpoint, from booking to departure, reflected our values and created meaningful experiences.

Lise also had a solid grasp of the legal and HR challenges that arose in a restaurant setting. She was trustworthy and consistently maintained a professional attitude, even when dealing with sensitive information or high-pressure situations. Her ability to remain composed and focused on the task at hand was one of her greatest strengths.

I have no doubt that Lise will be an incredible asset to any business, and her new consultancy will thrive. Her dedication, experience, and professionalism will serve her clients exceptionally well.”
