Operations Engineering for Foodservice

Four decades of engineering discipline.
A direct line to a Principal.

FPG applies industrial engineering rigor — the kind once reserved for automotive assembly lines — to restaurant and foodservice operations. Every engagement is led by a Principal and backed by an experienced team of engineers.

An Engineer's Approach

Not consulting advice. Engineered results.

Mark began his career on Ford's production lines, then spent decades applying that same industrial-engineering discipline to restaurants — at Taco Bell, and later as an independent consultant to dozens of foodservice concepts. FPG brings that discipline to every client through a principal-led engineering team.
