“Kim’s focus on helping each team member find fulfillment and meaning in their work translates into a more welcoming and calm environment. She continues to advise me and other members of our team on how to create and sustain that positive culture while incorporating it into our daily routines. I didn't realize when I first met Kim what a gift ‘only yummy’ would become in my life and the life of the organization.”

“Kim Lerner was an exceptional resource for me in rebuilding Inday’s internal training program. Kim’s superpower lies at the intersection of hospitality and leadership, and her passion and expertise in these areas shine through in her work. In addition to helping me organize and codify a comprehensive, values based training program, Kim’ plan helped me reduce total dedicated training costs in our restaurant significantly. As a strategic thought partner, she brings passion, empathy and significant experience to the table and can back it up by executing on clear deliverables. I would highly recommend her to any organization seeking guidance or support strengthening this leadership and training competencies in both front of house and back of house contexts.”
