Experience
Director of Business Operations
May 2016 — Present · New York, NY, US
COCOZZA builds restaurants, bars and gyms across New York City. We offer a full-service process: Budget / Lease / Design / Build - so business owners don’t have to act as their own general contractor just to open a space.Most projects go over budget and behind schedule due to poor coordination between designers, engineers, and contractors. We solve that by managing every phase of the buildout, from site selection to final inspections, eliminating surprises before they happen.BUDGETWe produce layered, proactive estimates that reflect the real cost of your entire project. Our method protects your operational runway and reduces financial risk by prioritizing transparency from day one.LEASEWe help clients assess and negotiate for spaces that match their goals, budgets, and buildability. We’ve walked hundreds of NYC restaurant sites and know what to look for - and what to avoid.DESIGNWe assemble the right team of architects, designers, and engineers for each project. By coordinating their work early, we eliminate conflicts that typically lead to delays and change orders.BUILDWe act as general contractor on every project, managing trusted trades and keeping momentum with clear expectations, honest communication, and full accountability.Since 2012, our approach has helped open over 100 NYC locations and saved clients millions. Projects include Massara, Rezdora, Leon’s, Anton’s, Lola’s, Sereneco, and Bar Bianchi.We are not just contractors. We are partners who think like owners, plan like operators, and treat your project like it’s our own.Visit COCOZZA.COM to see more.
