Build Leaders. Build Systems. Sustain Excellence

Hi, my name is Levi Ratliff, I’m a father first, and I intentionally structure my business around being present for my daughter. That means I don’t operate on the traditional consulting model of being available around the clock or charging by the hour. Instead, my pricing and service options are designed around focused, high-impact work that can be completed efficiently and delivered on a schedule that works for both of us.

 

This structure allows me to prioritize my family while giving you something that many traditional consultants don’t: direct access to experienced operational leadership without the overhead, long-term commitments, or inflated consulting fees.

​

You’re paying for the experience, strategy, and solutions and not for how many hours I sit at a desk.

My wife Carissa has been coaching Division 2 women's basketball for a few years as the head coach, and as a family we travel together to all of her away games and catch all the home games as well. And yes, she is taller than me and I can't beat her in basketball...I've tried. 

 

A little more about me:

​

I've spent 18 years learning how to run tight restaurant operations. I didn't start as a consultant. I started on the line, worked my way to manager, then to operations leadership. I've managed multi-million-dollar locations, built and led teams, and most importantly, I've learned what separates profitable operations from chaos. The core principle I've learned is that systems are greater than heroes. Most restaurant operators think success comes from finding the right people. I learned it comes from building the right systems, then putting good people inside them. That's what I build for my clients at LNR Consulting Services.
