About CHEKERS

Your restaurant deserves a partner — who has been in your shoes.

The restaurant industry has changed forever. Online ordering, digital marketing, staffing crises, and rising costs demand a new kind of consulting — one built on real operational experience, not slides and theory.

Over a decade in the trenches of the food & beverage industry — managing 50+ locations, leading 800+ employees, and building businesses that outlast the people who built them. CHEKERS is the system he wished existed when he was an operator.

We don’t work with everyone. First, we take the time to truly understand your specific challenge — then we give you exactly the tools you need to fix it. Nothing more, nothing less.

Restaurant Consulting

Deep expertise where it matters most —
on the floor, in the kitchen, and on the balance sheet.

Running a restaurant is one of the most demanding businesses in the world. Razor-thin margins, unpredictable demand, perishable inventory, and a workforce that turns over faster than any other industry. Most consultants study these problems from the outside. CHEKERS has solved them from within.

With over a decade of hands-on experience across 50+ food and beverage locations — from neighborhood cafes to high-volume restaurant chains — CHEKERS delivers consulting grounded in the daily reality of restaurant operations.

Whether you are opening a new concept, scaling an existing operation, or trying to stop the bleeding on a struggling location — we bring the playbook that only comes from years of actually running the business.

Online Marketing & The Digital Shift

The restaurant industry went digital.
Your marketing strategy needs to follow.

A packed dining room means nothing if it's invisible online. In today's environment, Google rankings, social media presence, delivery platform positioning, and review management are as operationally critical as your kitchen efficiency. CHEKERS integrates digital strategy into the operational consulting process — not as an add-on, but as a core pillar.

We have helped restaurants build their online presence from scratch, recover from negative reputation cycles, optimize delivery platform rankings, and implement content systems that create consistent brand presence across every channel — without requiring the owner to become a social media manager.

Crisis Management

When the crisis hits, you need someone who has already been through it.

COVID-19 taught the restaurant industry a brutal lesson: businesses without resilience plans don’t survive. But crises come in many forms — economic downturns, security situations, supply chain disruptions, or sudden staff shortages.

CHEKERS was forged in crisis. During COVID lockdowns, we turned a failing burger restaurant into a 550% revenue growth story by finding opportunity where others saw only shutdown. During wartime in northern Israel, we helped local businesses maintain operations and protect their teams.

We help you build operational resilience before the crisis hits, and we stand beside you to navigate it when it does. Cash-flow emergency plans, rapid pivot strategies, team communication frameworks, and supplier contingency systems — all built from real-world experience.

Human Resources & Operational Order

Your people are your product. Your systems are what hold it all together.

The number one reason restaurants fail is not the food — it’s the people and the lack of systems.

CHEKERS specializes in building the human infrastructure that allows restaurants to operate independently of the owner. Recruitment processes, onboarding programs, performance tracking, shift management systems, and leadership development — we build it, implement it, and stay until it runs on its own.

Recruitment & Onboarding

Structured hiring processes and training programs that reduce turnover by creating a professional, growth-oriented workplace.

Operational Systems

Checklists, SOPs, shift protocols, and quality standards that ensure consistency whether you are on-site or not.

Performance & Accountability

Mystery shoppers, KPI dashboards, and team reviews that keep standards high and problems visible before they become expensive.

The Philosophy
“The restaurant industry doesn’t need more theory — it needs partners who understand that great food means nothing without great systems, great people, and great execution.”

CHEKERS does not produce strategy decks that collect dust. We get inside the operation, build the systems, train the team, fix the numbers, and stay until the results are measurable and sustainable. That is the only consulting worth paying for.

CHEKERS was built on this premise. Every engagement, every framework, every recommendation exists to put this principle into practice — for every client, at every stage of their business.

Client Results

What clients say

★★★★★

"Lioz came in when we were bleeding. Six weeks later our food cost was down 8 points and our team finally had clear roles. I wish I had called him a year earlier."

Dani Rosenberg

Bar Rosenberg, Tel Aviv

★★★★★

"The GIKON system changed how we manage shifts. We used to have chaos every Friday night. Now it runs like clockwork and the team knows exactly what to do."

Miri Katz

Cafe Katz, Jerusalem

★★★★★

"I was skeptical about consultants. Lioz is not a consultant — he is a partner. He worked the floor alongside us, found the leaks, and fixed them. Profit up 22% in 3 months."
