Most restaurants rely on heroics. That’s why they break.
Chef calls out—everything collapses.
Staff turns over—culture disappears.
Owner burns out—nothing changes.

After 33 years in the kitchen, I’ve seen it all.
I’ve run high-volume operations, trained green teams into machines, and led groups through chaos and culture collapse.
And here’s what I know:

Culture eats talent for breakfast.
Systems beat talent when talent doesn’t have systems.

Today, I help restaurant leaders build kitchens that don’t rely on superheroes.
I work with chefs and operators to:

→ Define their way of doing business
→ Build leadership systems that teach it
→ Create operations that run consistently—even when they’re not there

It’s not theory. It’s not fluff.
One client cut turnover by 60% and grew profit by 15% in 90 days.

If your team is talented but inconsistent…
If your culture changes depending on who’s in charge…
If your restaurant falls apart when one person is out…

Let’s talk.

On the CULINARY MECHANIC podcast, I host candid conversations with hospitality's most innovative leaders. From kitchen culture to tech innovations, we blend battle-tested wisdom with modern insights that challenge 'the way it's always been done.' It's where restaurant wisdom meets real systems that work.

Hello, I'm Stephanie Huskey and I'm currently working for WisperISP as a Customer Service Advocate.

A little about my life outside of my professional life. I have a green thumb, I like to play video games, and listen to all sorts of music. I have two wonderful doggies that are my babies.

My background in business management with the hospitality industry gives me a unique perspective that will be valuable asset to any role.

When im looking for a job, I search for  values that align with mine. I have a huge heart for helping and branching out to learn and climb up the ranks. My goal is to find a remote position with a culture fit company.

My knowledge in exploring sales and analytic have been my favorite part. To take the data and use my skill with data wrangling and data cleaning. Researching and taking my time with exploring the data to find solutions and problems. 

I have experience with Excel, Tableau, SQL, Pivot Tables, Experia, QContact, WinBox, and many more.

Lets just say I'm becoming a data nerd. :)
