Christopher has been an elite-level restaurant director and operating partner for decades, and now that he is taking that wealth of knowledge and experience to a larger client base, the results are guaranteed. He displays a passion for details, an exuberance for the craft of service and hospitality, and continued growth towards business and team leadership. Many consultants are in it for themselves. Christopher is always focused on the client’s condition and what matters to them first and foremost! This focus on the client issues, the ability to solve those problems, both tactically and strategically, in collaboration with their teams, is high value. If you’re a restaurant operator and want to break the echo chamber for innovative thinking towards bettering your team and processes, then Christopher is who you want as your consultant.

You rarely meet an individual as enthusiastic and well-versed in hospitality as McFadden. His excitement and eagerness to share his knowledge with other people are infectious. Through his teachings, you cannot help but share in that excitement and become inspired to perfect your skills. He is a wealth of knowledge and an exceptional study of the restaurant craft. I have had the privilege of working with McFadden on three separate occasions, and all have been enlightening cornerstones to the success of my career thus far. For a restaurant professional, every moment with McFadden is an opportunity; seize it!

After 35 years in this business, I can honestly say that only a handful of individuals fall into the category of “true hospitality professionals”. Chris McFadden is absolutely one of those guys. He truly loves hospitality and has mastered it like its second nature. He is one of the great empaths out there, leading the charge on making hospitality a better place for staff and customers alike.

I worked with Chris from TMG recently as he coached me through a significant transition. He helped me focus on current and future goals and keep positive energy. I would definitely work with him again.
