Learn About Our ConsultingWhat Partners Say
“Finally, consultants who actually understand what it's like to run a kitchen during a Friday night rush. Their advice works because they've lived it.”
Restaurant Owner
Multi-Unit Restaurant Group
“The construction team designed our new shop layout with an operator's eye. Every decision made sense for how we actually work—not just how it looked on paper.”
Shop Owner
Automotive Service Center
“We've worked with consultants before who gave us fancy reports and disappeared. Brobata stayed until we actually saw results. That's the difference.”
Operations Director
Regional Catering Company
“Their software feels like it was built by someone who's actually dispatched technicians before. Because it was. No learning curve, just works.”

Common Questions
We still run businesses. Both founders operate companies daily—restaurants, hotels, automotive shops, contracting firms. Our advice comes from current experience, not theory or past careers. When we recommend something, it's because we've tested it in our own operations.
No. Our consulting and construction services stand on their own. The software is there for partners who want it, but we're just as happy helping you optimize what you already have. We'll recommend what actually fits your situation.
We specialize in service-based businesses: restaurants, catering, hotels, automotive service, field service (HVAC, plumbing, electrical), and contracting. These are the industries we come from and still operate in today.
It starts with a conversation—no pressure, just understanding your situation. If there's a fit, we do a discovery phase to understand your operation deeply. Then we propose solutions, implement them alongside your team, and stay involved until you're seeing results.
It depends on the engagement. Consulting projects are typically project-based or retainer. Software is subscription-based. Construction is project-based with transparent budgeting. We're always upfront about costs—no surprises.
Usually within a week or two. We're a focused team, not a massive consultancy, so we can move fast. For urgent situations, we've started same-week before.
Both. We've helped single-location restaurants and multi-state service companies. The approach scales—we right-size our recommendations to what makes sense for your operation.
That's fine—most partners start there. Book a call and we'll help you figure out what's actually going on. Sometimes it's a quick fix, sometimes it's more involved. Either way, you'll leave the conversation with clarity.
