Restaurant technology that actually works — no crashed systems, no disappearing vendors, and no tech stack that costs more than it earns. I help independent restaurants and growing groups simplify POS, online ordering, delivery integration, networking, and vendor decisions.
Two systems break most restaurants first: POS and online ordering. Fork & Firewall helps get both working right from day one, then keeps the rest of the stack from dragging the business down.
From selection to setup to support, your point-of-sale should be your most reliable tool, not your biggest headache.
Third-party apps are a tool, not a strategy. The goal is an ordering setup that works for your margins, not theirs.
A single Friday-night outage can cost more than a year of proper infrastructure. The fix is usually simpler than it looks.
For operators who want a real person in their corner, not a call center, when the pressure is on.
Fork & Firewall was built around one observation: talented restaurant operators are constantly let down by POS systems that fail at the worst moments, online ordering that does not talk to the kitchen, and vendors who disappear after the sale.
My approach is simple. Cut through the noise, identify the technology that actually fits the operation, get it set up correctly, and make sure it keeps working long after the install.
No vendor ties. No referral fees. Just honest guidance shaped by decades in hospitality technology and solution consulting.
No vendor relationships and no commissions. Every recommendation is based on what fits the operation.
Support for independent restaurants, small groups, and growing multi-location operators who need practical solutions.
No jargon. No upsells. Just clear answers, honest priorities, and realistic next steps.
When something goes wrong at 6 p.m. on a Friday, there is a real person to call.
No bloated proposals. No confusing contracts. Just a clean process to get the tech stack under control.
Tell me what is not working. No pressure and no pitch, just a real conversation about the setup.
Your current tools, vendors, and pain points get reviewed to pinpoint what is costing time, money, and uptime.
You get a plain-language plan with practical next steps, not a bloated wish list.
Setup, coordination, training, and ongoing guidance so the restaurant can focus on service, not systems.
This makes it easier for owners and operators to know where to start. Pricing can be customized, but the engagement types are simple.
Best for restaurants that need a clear picture of what is wrong and what to fix first.
For POS changes, ordering fixes, network cleanup, or rollout support where execution matters.
For operators who want a dependable advisor for decisions, issues, and growth planning.

Scott, you have been a trusted voice in this space for a reason. Your understanding of restaurant operations and the technology behind it is unmatched. Any operator looking to fix their systems and grow their business should absolutely lean on your experience.
No jargon and no pressure. Just a straight conversation about what is not working and how to fix it. The first call is always free.
