Since being introduced to John in the mid-90s, I've referred many clients to him. Each time, their experience has been favorable— they speak uniformly of the breadth of his network, his knowledge of the industry, and above all of the high standards to which he holds his business and personal dealings. I find John to be a valuable advisor, and expect to rely on his expertise for my own projects.

National Restaurant Search is a truly unique management resource, not simply a search firm with revolving chairs and a short term business strategy. John is a consummate business professional and an individual that values the meaning of integrity which is a rare combination in the search industry. When you absolutely want to build the best team he has the network and contacts to make it happen.

Employers

National Restaurant Search has been successfully operating since 1981.

We believe each company is unique— with its own style and culture. Each assignment begins with original research and a meeting with your company's executives to determine search specifications and strategy. We only present candidates that meet your qualifications, search profile, and fit your culture.

We focus on the restaurant/hospitality industry only. We know who the 'players' are and how to network within our industry to find the 'needle in the haystack.' All NRS executives have restaurant/hospitality industry experience, giving us the insight needed to find creative solutions to your problems.

We understand the sense of urgency that is necessary to be successful in the restaurant/hospitality industry. We produce results in a timely manner, completing most searches within 30 to 90 days.

By design, we are a boutique firm that works with a limited number of companies, giving us a larger number of companies to recruit from. We do not have the problem of larger search firms— too many 'off limits' companies. With the help of our state-of-the-art computer networking system, we have access to over 25,000 candidate profiles.

We are client driven search firm, sourcing only the strongest candidates for our clients. We will not waste your time and money interviewing unqualified candidates. With accurate and off-the-record references, we source executives who not only look good on paper, but can actually perform. When an executive needs to be replaced, we search confidentially.

We charge a reasonable fee, with a guarantee on all assignments. We are committed to building long term relationships, built on integrity and trust. We represent your company like you want to be represented— professionally.
