Brooks Briz

Brooks Briz is an accomplished restaurateur, speaker, and sales consultant. Brooks believes that restaurants must be deliberate in their guest experience including the way that customers are acquired, retained, and referred. He also holds that all of your sales and marketing activities must be accurately correlated to your top-line and often says, “‘Brand’ is a byproduct of results. Demand results and nothing less.”

Before Brooks became a sales consultant, he accrued over ten years of experience working in multi-unit consulting, operational management, and virtually all FOH and BOH positions. Brooks has consulted with single unit restaurants to some of the largest restaurant chains in the world. He has also helped started multiple restaurant brands from scratch and most recently served as the chief marketing officer at Kamado Grille restaurants based in Raleigh, NC.

Brooks is a contributor to JonGordon.com, a contributing author to PurpleGoldfish.com, and is also the author of four other books including: Relevance- The Guide to Better Restaurant Sales and Operations in 2016 and Beyond, Purple Goldfish Service Edition, Hungry?, and Getting a Social Media Job for Dummies. He received his MBA and bachelor’s of science degrees in management and economics from the Franklin P. Perdue School of Business at Salisbury University. Brooks is originally from Silver Spring, MD, and currently lives in Raleigh, NC. He can be reached at heybrooks@brooksbriz.com or 301.512.7391.
