About 279 Consulting
Real-world food, beverage, hospitality, entertainment, technology, and project experience applied to the problems owners face every day.
Built Around Operational Reality
279 Consulting is led by Chester Gomez and serves businesses from the Houston area across Texas and remotely. Our work is grounded in more than 15 years of high-volume restaurant and bar operations, consulting, project management, technology, and customer-service experience.
We have supported more than 200 concepts and helped owners, managers, teams, vendors, and growing brands translate complicated business problems into practical next steps.
Operator Perspective
Recommendations are built around labor, cost, service, execution, and what a team can realistically maintain.
Technology Experience
Experience includes POS, accounting, CRM, cloud, communications, and operational hardware and software.
Broad Project Support
Assignments can range from a five-minute red-flag conversation to openings, systems, and long-term operational work.
How We Work
We start by identifying the decision that needs to be made, the information missing from that decision, and the cost of waiting or choosing poorly. From there, we build the smallest useful scope and expand only when the project requires it.
