About Shelley Knaeble

I am an executive in the service industry, specializing in restaurant operations. By leveraging my deep experience as an operations leader, I develop strategic plans that achieve operational excellence, sales growth and retention of great people. Through innovative proto-type design work and gross profit improvement programs, I deliver strong results in turn-around, franchise, and co-branded business models. Known as a highly driven professional who can roll up my sleeves and easily see opportunities, I quickly identify solutions that simplify processes, strengthen operations and then lead implementation. I thrive in an environment that requires balancing multiple priorities and cross-functional collaboration. As a champion of change and continuous improvement, I am responsive to changing consumer and business needs and have implemented critical initiatives including brand standards, migrating to digital platforms and food safety execution. As a leader, I provide a senior leadership team with a bridge to the field through my expertise and respect garnered. I build strong partnerships between the operations and support teams to grow diverse talent in a respectful environment. I create an energizing culture by leveraging individual’s unique strengths and fostering ideas from all levels of the organization. I will work with the team to execute at the highest level, simplify and strengthen operations and ignite growth.
