A renowned speaker, author, consultant, and advisor, Howard is considered by many to be a foremost authority and expert on restaurant start-up, turnaround and profit improvement. He is called on by restaurant companies of all types and sizes, from Fortune 500 firms to independent owner/operators, to implement his strategies to improve day-to-day operational performance and profits within days. He has worked in every state across the United States and in several countries around the globe and has implemented his strategies and techniques in concepts ranging from quick service to fine dining.
His 22+ years of experience, also makes Mr. Cannon one of the most sought after Restaurant Expert Witnesses in the country. He has provided expert opinions, reports and testimony in cases involving wrongful deaths, slips and falls, FACTA, and franchise infringement – just to name a few. He takes pride in providing the most detailed, well-written, unbiased reports backed up by not only his vast experience in the restaurant industry, but also with the most current information and research available; AND, he never misses a deadline!
In addition, Howard Cannon is also the Drill Sergeant for Restaurant Turnaround, Start-up & Concept Design Boot Camp™. Mr. Cannon attended the University of Wisconsin and has obtained his MBA; and, much like the mascot of his alma-mater, the Badger, he takes on all turnarounds with an intensity, ferocity, and drive that has to be witnessed to be appreciated and must be implemented to demand instant results. This "no-holds barred” approach is required to stop the flow of red-ink and stop the loss of customers and employees. Howard promotes a short-term environment of bold, brash, demanding and intense behavior but also creates an atmosphere of excitement, inspiration and vision for those who want to step-up. “Mediocrity is not an option.” He speaks from his heart and soul with conviction and fights for “what’s right” and for performance that is required for the business to be successful. This same passion has been incorporated into Restaurant Turnaround, Start-up & Concept Design Boot Camp™.
