Run a restaurant that doesn't run your life.
Restaurant Freedom Academy helps independent restaurant owners build a more profitable restaurant that works without them. Learn from an owner who spent 25 years inside restaurants, took one to $10 million, and still runs his own today.
and counting
I have run restaurants from the inside for 25 years.
I am Jason Purvis. Chick-fil-A sent me into seven of their hardest restaurants to turn around, and I brought every one back to profit. Then I ran my own franchise for thirteen years, took the lowest-performing restaurant in the country to $10 million, and earned their highest honor six times.
Chick-fil-A had me coach their new owners, because I had seen nearly every problem a restaurant can throw at you and found a way through it. Today my wife and I own Sidewalk Coffee and Bagel, our own independent restaurant. I built Restaurant Freedom Academy to hand independent restaurant owners the systems and support I wish every one of us had.
The business should not run your life.
Most owners are stuck working every shift, making every call, and carrying the whole thing on their back. That is not ownership, that is the most expensive job you will ever have. Restaurant Freedom Academy is built on the opposite: real systems so the restaurant runs without you, real leadership so your team carries it, and the freedom that comes when both are true.
Where to start, wherever you are.
Three ways in, from a free first step to the full build. Every one is built from real operating experience, not theory.
The Restaurant Owner Snapshot
A 60-second check that shows exactly where your restaurant stands right now, plus a free toolkit to fix the first thing that is costing you.
- Takes about a minute
- A clear read on your biggest gap
- Free owner toolkit included
The Restaurant Owner's Club
A private club for independent restaurant owners. A room of people who get it, live sessions with me and expert guests, and answers before a problem gets expensive.
- A room of owners at every stage
- Live sessions twice a month
- Ask anything, any time
ROOS: The Restaurant Owner Operating System
The full build, step by step. Design the life you want, build the blueprint that runs your restaurant, and jumpstart it with me on the coaching calls.
- Step 1: Design Your Life
- Step 2: The Blueprint
- Step 3: JumpStart, plus coaching
I am in it every day, same as you.
This is Sidewalk Coffee and Bagel, the independent restaurant my wife Azadeh and I own and run. Everything I teach comes straight from this.
Build a restaurant that works for you, not the other way around.
Start free, join the room, or build the whole system. Wherever you are, there is a next step here.
