Founders / Owners / Operators

01 / The network

You don't have to
figure it out alone.

A vendor decision. A staffing problem. Your next location. Someone in the room has been there.

MOM brings restaurant founders and owner-operators together to compare experiences, share useful introductions, and talk honestly about running a business.

01

Compare notes.

Find out what other operators are paying, what's working, and what they'd do differently.

02

Know who to call.

Build relationships with peers who understand the day-to-day decisions behind the business.

03

Get a second opinion.

Talk through vendors, tools, and tradeoffs with people who have used them.

02 / Gatherings

Off the floor.
At the table.

Dinners, industry events, and conversations that continue long after the room clears.

Andrew Wang

Better information starts with people you trust.
