Kallas Company has built its 75 years of success on the success of the independent restaurant industry and its owners.  So we are encouraged when anyone with something to contribute supports our industry. 

RestaurantOwner.com and Restaurant Startup & Growth Magazine are two excellent sources of information for closely held restaurant owners.

Jim Laube is the founder and publisher of RestaurantOwner and Restaurant Startup.  I have a lot of respect for Jim and what he does. 

I met Jim many years ago as he started his career in Michigan.  And I have learned and borrowed liberally from his restaurant templates, checklists, inventory controls, worksheets and articles on all facets of independent restaurant operations.

Jim began his restaurant career at the age of 15 working in a quick-service food operation and earned his way to a Michigan State accounting degree by working as a server and bartender.

During the late 80’s and 90’s, Jim practiced as a CPA and advisor to independent restaurants throughout the United States regarding operational, financial, cost control and profitability issues.

He is an author and lecturer and during the last 15 years, Jim has conducted over 700 presentations and training programs to thousands of restaurant owners.
