ABOUT ALEXIS COSGROVE

I’m a dynamic operations executive with over 20 years of experience leading multi-unit restaurant and food production operations, managing 50–100+ employees and portfolios generating $3.5M–$12M annually. My focus is on optimizing performance, scaling growth, and developing strong leadership teams that drive lasting success. I’ve directed operations across multiple locations, leading openings, rebrands, and strategic expansions that delivered consistent year-over-year growth and more than $4M in incremental revenue. With deep expertise in P&L oversight, KPI development, and labor optimization, I’ve reduced labor costs by 10%, improved COGS 8–12%, and strengthened margins through smarter forecasting, scheduling, and vendor negotiations. My leadership approach is hands-on, people-focused, and data-driven. I take pride in mentoring high-performing managers, creating accountability systems, and fostering cultures built on collaboration and excellence. Under my guidance, cross-functional teams of 100+ employees have achieved measurable improvements in retention, productivity, and compliance. Operationally, I’m skilled in HACCP, FSMA, SQF (in progress), and GMP standards, having implemented food safety and compliance frameworks that reduced non-compliance incidents by 70%. From streamlining workflows to managing multi-million-dollar procurement strategies, I specialize in aligning operations with business goals to maximize efficiency and profitability. At every stage of my career, my goal has been simple: build scalable systems, empower great teams, and deliver exceptional results that move the company forward.
