Expertly Guiding Restaurants and Owners Through Change, Challenge, and Growth.
From Interim Management to Operational Overhauls, We Deliver Clarity, Control, and Momentum.
Who We Are
Welcome to Advantage Hospitality Management and Consulting, where over three decades of real-world experience meets boots-on-the-ground restaurant expertise. Led by veteran restaurateur Scott Dixon, we provide interim management, turnaround consulting, and operational support tailored to your restaurant’s needs. Whether you’re facing a crisis, preparing to launch, or simply ready to level up, we bring clarity, consistency, and momentum.
Interim Management
Step into stability with seasoned leadership. We provide boots-on-the-ground management during transitions, crises, or leadership vacancies — ensuring your restaurant keeps operating smoothly while helping you to plan the next move.
Owner Support
Running a restaurant doesn’t mean that you have to do it alone. Whether you need a trusted advisor or an extra set of expert hands, we offer personalized guidance, crisis coaching, and hands-on help that protects your investment and peace of mind.
Business Consulting
We offer tailored consulting solutions for every stage of your restaurant’s life cycle. Whether you’re planning and launching a new concept, experiencing growing pains, or facing operational breakdowns, we step in with strategic insights and hands-on experience to help you streamline operations, increase margins, and build a sustainable path forward.
How We Work
“A Practical Process. Built for the Realities of Restaurant Life.”
01
Diagnose
Every engagement begins with a deep dive into your operation — whether you need temporary leadership, a second set of eyes, or a full-scale reset. We take the time to listen, observe, and evaluate so we can identify the issues beneath the symptoms. No assumptions, just honest insight rooted in experience.
02
Design
Once we understand the landscape, we build a tailored action plan designed around your goals, timeline, and team. Whether it’s a short-term stabilization strategy, ongoing owner coaching, or a full consulting roadmap, we create practical solutions you can actually implement.
03
Deliver
We roll up our sleeves and execute. From managing day-to-day operations to coaching your leadership team or overseeing critical changes, we stay involved until the work is done and results are measurable. We’re not here to impress — we’re here to make a real impact.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What type of restaurants do you work with?
We work with independent restaurants of all types — from full-service fine dining and fast casual to catering operations and event venues. Whether you’re in start-up mode or need a turnaround, we tailor our services to fit your concept and goals.
How do you charge for your services?
We offer hourly, project-based, and retainer options. All pricing is transparent, and you’ll receive a custom quote after your initial consultation. No surprises, no hidden fees.
How quickly can you get started?
We’re built for responsiveness. After your free consultation, we can often begin within days — especially for interim roles or urgent situations. We’ll map out a clear timeline based on your needs.
Do you offer one-time consultations or only long-term engagements?
Both. Some clients bring us in for a single project or evaluation, while others retain us for ongoing support. We’re flexible and will recommend what makes the most sense for your operation.
What is the difference between interim management and consulting?
Interim management means we step in to actively run your business — whether during a transition, emergency, or leadership gap. Consulting is more advisory: we evaluate, strategize, and support you or your team in implementing change.
Can you help if my restaurant is struggling financially?
Yes — in fact, that’s one of our specialties. We quickly identify where money is being lost, where it can be saved, and how to stabilize operations. Many of our clients see measurable improvements within weeks.
