Fractional F&B Operations Leadership for Miami Restaurants, Hotels & New Openings

18+ years opening, stabilizing, and scaling hospitality operations across Miami. I partner with owners and leadership teams who need senior operational expertise without the full-time overhead.

What I do

The site should answer one question fast: why bring in Leander instead of hiring another manager? The answer is focused operational leadership that installs systems and improves execution.

Fractional leadership

Fractional F&B Leadership

For restaurants and hotel groups that need a veteran operator 2–4 days per week. I step in to stabilize operations, build systems, and develop your team.

New concept support

Pre-Opening & New Concept Builds

From construction walkthroughs to opening night, I help build the team, write SOPs, coordinate vendors, and create an operating backbone before doors open.

Performance recovery

Operations Recovery & Restructuring

When labor costs drift, service standards drop, or turnover hurts consistency, I diagnose quickly and install systems that stick.

Selected experience

Use this section as proof, not a résumé dump. These examples create confidence that the consulting offer is grounded in real work.

Is this your project?

Let’s build something that runs well.

Whether you’re 90 days from opening or trying to fix a difficult quarter, this site should make the next move obvious: start the conversation.
