Howard Cannon is the 4-Star General, Creator, and Founder of Restaurant Turnaround & Profit Improvement Boot Camp™.
He is also the President/CEO and Founder of Restaurant Operations Institute, Inc., a national restaurant-based consulting firm specializing in turnarounds, start-ups, operations, and expert witness services since 1987. He is recognized across the industry as the leader in tactical and strategic systems development & training to instantly improve restaurant operational execution and profit performance.
Mr. Cannon is the author of several books, including: The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Starting a Restaurant©, volumes I & II, found in bookstores in more than 76 countries around the globe, and the soon-to-be released: We are a FOR-PROFIT Restaurant. Any Questions?© series of books. He has written and presented more than 200 industry articles, speeches and seminars and has spoken at industry events, corporate gatherings, high schools and universities across the country. A renowned speaker, author, consultant and advisor, Howard is considered by many to be a foremost authority and expert on restaurant turnarounds. He is called on by restaurant companies of all types and sizes, from Fortune 500 firms to independent owner/operators, to implement his strategies to improve day-to-day operational performance and profits within days. He has worked in every state across the United States and in several countries around the globe and has implemented his strategies and techniques in concepts ranging from quick service to fine dining; however, one constant remains the same - cultural changes and results happen quickly.
Mr. Cannon attended the University of Wisconsin and has obtained his MBA; and, much like the mascot of his alma-mater, the Badger, Mr. Cannon takes on all turnarounds with an intensity, ferocity, and drive that has to be witnessed to be appreciated and must be implemented to demand instant results. This "no-holds barred” approach is required to stop the flow of red-ink and stop the loss of customers and employees. Howard promotes a short-term environment of bold, brash, demanding and intense behavior but also creates an atmosphere of excitement, inspiration and vision for those who want to step-up. “Mediocrity is not an option.” He speaks from his heart and soul with conviction and fights for “what’s right” and for performance that is required for the business to be successful.
This same passion has been incorporated into Restaurant Turnaround & Profit Improvement Boot Camp™.
Mr. Cannon has also enlisted the assistance of dozens of the restaurant industry's very best - covering every imaginable industry discipline to assist in Boot Camp presentations. Each Boot Camp is unique and special, and each Boot Camp employs different people with varied skill-sets to deliver a truly world-class experience. Their bios are available prior to any scheduled presentations.
