Engineered Experiences Hospitality helps restaurants increase profitability by combining operational expertise, staff training, and systems designed to create authentic guest connections.
Most restaurant consultants talk about strategy.
My name is Eric Ridenour. I focus on what actually happens inside your restaurant:
your team, your guests, and the moments that determine whether people come back… or don’t.
Engineered Experiences Hospitality exists to turn those moments into measurable growth.
✅ More repeat visits
✅ Higher check averages
✅Stronger reviews
✅ Better operations
Our unique blend of hands-on operational experience and strategic consulting ensures lasting success and genuine guest satisfaction for your restaurant.

Over the past several years, something changed.
People became more distracted.
More disconnected.
More focused on screens than on each other.
After COVID, that shift became impossible to ignore.
At the same time, my previous consulting business was impacted,
and I found myself returning to something I had done years earlier...
working in a restaurant.
That experience changed everything.
It reminded me how powerful real, authentic human connection can be
• A genuine interaction
• A great conversation
• A moment where someone feels seen
And it made something very clear:
But most restaurants don’t design for that.
They leave it up to chance.
That’s the problem.
That’s why I built this company.
To help restaurants:
• Systemize great experiences
• Create consistent guest connections
• Turn those moments into repeat business and revenue

I’ve spent over a decade working inside restaurants — from the ground up.
Dishwasher
Line cook
Busser
Server
Bartender
Supervisor
Department Manager
I’ve seen:
• What actually happens during a rush
• Where service breaks down
• How small issues turn into lost revenue
I spent years solving these problems and implementing them with success wherever I go.
I’ve also worked high-level events and clients, where execution had to be flawless including serving several well known celebrities and serving private events with Stefan Richter
That level of precision changes how you see operations.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Operations + Consulting = Real Results
Outside of restaurants, I spent 10+ years in business and marketing consulting.
Helping companies:
✅ Increase revenue
✅ Improve efficiency
✅ Scale profitably
Most consultants have one or the other.
I combine both:
Real restaurant experience
Real business optimization strategy
That’s where results come from
Great service shouldn’t depend on luck or personality
It should be
• Designed
• Repeatable
• Consistent
Your team is your biggest asset.
When trained correctly, they:
• Increase check size
• Improve guest experience
• Drive repeat visits
Everything ties back to results:
• Revenue
• Efficiency
•Retention
• Reviews
No fluff. No guesswork.
You need to know:
• What’s working
• What’s not
• What to fix first
Most restaurant consultants only know restaurants. My background in broader business consulting exposed me to a much wider range of challenges — which is why I bring unconventional, high-impact solutions that others simply don’t see.
This isn’t just about improving operations.
It’s about creating environments where:
Guests feel something real
Staff take pride in their work
The experience drives the business forward
Because when you get the experience right
You make memories.
If you want to identify what’s holding your restaurant back and start improving performance immediately — let’s talk.
We help restaurants increase revenue, improve guest experience, and turn everyday service into consistent growth.
