Small Business Services NYC: Restaurant Academy

The NYC Restaurant Academy is a progressive educational initiative that we developed from the ground up—designing the curriculum, addressing core industry challenges, and building the branding and technology to support it. The program equips aspiring restaurateurs and early-stage Food and Beverage operators with the knowledge they need on planning, startup processes, regulatory compliance, and operational best practices to drive profitability and long-term success.

Beyond education, we bring real-world results. Our team has supported over 238 unique entrepreneurs in navigating the complex food and beverage landscape, helping them transform ideas into thriving businesses. Participants in the Academy gain exclusive benefits, including insights from seasoned industry experts and entrepreneurs, access to the NYC restaurant network, and a complimentary consulting session tailored to their goals.
