Who should be calling us?

We focus on operations that have large investment bases -- groups who range from investment fund and asset managers to hospitality management groups.


If you have significant investment into a single or multiple properties, and your goal is to see a greater return on your investment, we can help.

But "why" you ask?
Because we specialize in providing opportunities for profitability. Wouldn't you rather direct your saved assets toward uncontrollable operating costs and into revenue generation?

The current economy is challenging and all of our clients want to retain more of their profits. However, we see their efforts to create revenue through saving always directed toward the one area which directly affects revenue, and that is Labor.

Labor on the surface seems to be the last bastion of flexible control. And with labor reductions, those who have a direct role in revenue generation find their ability to meet service standards minimized, resulting in management teams spending more time in supporting roles than they do managing and growing THEIR (your) business.

We can provide for you a competitive advantage which will minimize economic lows and maximize economic highs.We can bring back to your operation controls which allow for all of your assets to work for, not against you.

Can't we do this ourselves?
Can you leverage your local buying power 10 fold? If your supplier says that they can give you better prices, then what are they waiting for? If your team says that they can do this, then why haven't they already?

We specialize in the fine details for your benefit, and that is our advantage over others. We're hands-on, and that advantage we have is that we do this for many of the best operations out there. We surround ourselves with this type of work each day; you can use that specialization to your advantage. Simply put, we work on the fine details that make a difference.


Industry Leading and Innovating, these clients represent but a small sample of the resorts, hotels and restaurants that have put their trust in the strength and quality of our work.

Hotel Bel Air

Surrounded by 12 acres of lush gardens Hotel Bel-Air has 58 guestrooms and 45 suites, including 7 one of a kind specialty suites.

The Bel-Air’s design has always mixed the influences of Spanish colonial, layered with the smooth finishes and graceful shapes of French Deco, the last word in fashion of the time. The style that emerged was young, fun, fresh and elegant. Stone floors in limestone and polished marble, smooth, pale plaster walls, natural wood ceilings and rich finishes and textures with bold strokes of color in furnishings were melded to create a confident style that complements the glorious garden atmosphere.

Wolfgang Puck at Hotel Bel-Air features modern California with European and Mediterranean influences in a spectacular garden setting embracing the fabulous California lifestyle of indoor and outdoor living. All of our menus showcase the best of California's wonderful, fresh ingredients such as produce from Chino Farms and local farmers' markets, all natural poultry and sustainable seafood.
