They guided us from naming, design, concept, mission statement and beyond. Thankful for their partnership and would highly recommend!

Mara Littman: Experience, expertise, and excellence can all be found at RealFood. I was most fortunate to land a graduate residency with RealFood after completing my Masters in Management in Hospitality at Boston University. I can tell you from an insider’s perspective, RealFood walks the talk. I immediately felt welcomed into this mighty team of ten hospitality strategy and design experts representing over 250 years of industry experience.Every single member of the RealFood team shared their process with me. I was especially impressed and inspired by Ed Doyle, president of this company, whose leadership was a guiding force for the team and the hospitality community at large in reimagining and rebuilding the future of hospitality as a result of COVID-19.I am grateful for the one-on-one mentoring from Joelle Creamer, brand development lead, and Kealoha Pomerantz, operations manager. Exemplifying what puts RealFood in that “above and beyond” category, Joelle and Kealoha are thoughtful in their approach, passionate about the business, and deeply invested in the success of their team members, partners, and clients.I benefited greatly on both a professional and personal level by working with RealFood. I look forward to continued collaboration and connection with this formidable and most hospitable team.

Jim Infantino: Working with RealFood RFHSD has been a pleasure and a challenge but a challenge in a good way. Since they were my client and not the other way around, I was pleasantly surprised that they stuck with the project and were pointedly demanding, resulting in good communication flow and results that were extraordinary. I can only imagine that this sort of intense attention to detail and excellence pays off well with their clients. I'm glad to have had the chance to work with them.

Rick Graves: I have had the privilege to work with RealFood Consulting many times with several different projects.I was first introduced to the team when the companies co-founder and culinary director left. Ed and his team dove in and not only helped us develop our menu but fine-tune it to better cross utilize products and reduce the ever-expanding need for more workforce. The goal was recipes and the results were impacted all over our P&L and operating procedures.The team at RealFood helped us design a very complicated space. It was round. How do you produce, store and serve in a round building with walls of glass? They created a space that was not only stunning but functional. They use innovative technology to help you see and understand the finished product.Over the years RealFood as been my go-to team for nearly every challenge I have faced in restaurants. The team is always willing to help and they think outside the box, but only after truly understanding your current situation and needs. I am not sure how they do it, but they have the experts to solve any problem while making you feel like you are their only client.Rick GravesCEO - Jessie and Laurentrick@jessieandlaurent.com

Abigail ODonnell: Used RealFood to help design two restaurant spaces that had some real layout challenges. Matt D was our main point of contact and he was incredible. Not only did he manage to get everything we needed in the limited spaces but he also managed to utilize the space better then we could have ever asked for. Will definitely be using their services again with any future restaurant locations and would recommend them to anyone.

Gary Safer: Being an owner of a Hospitality Executive Search firm also based in New England for over 30 years, I've known Ed and his team for a long time.Our companies have collaborated on multiple projects together so I witness first hand the positive results they achieve for their clients. They've taken successful operators and made them better and they've taken failing concepts and turned them into thriving, profitable businesses. Concept development, facility layout, financial analysis/controls, SOP's, menu engineering are all in their "wheelhouse." In addition, the passion for what they do, the genuine care for their clients and their high level of integrity is immediately evident.
