About Breakwater Hospitality Consultants

We don’t just consult. We operate.

​

Breakwater was founded by operators who know what it takes to successfully open and run restaurants in the real world.

With six unique concepts launched and operating across Rhode Island and Massachusetts, we've lived through buildouts, menu overhauls, permitting nightmares, staffing challenges, budget crunches, and opening-day chaos. We've made mistakes, learned from them, and built businesses that last.

​

Now, we help others do the same, faster, cleaner, and with fewer headaches.

​

Whether you're opening your first restaurant or trying to manage your fifth, Breakwater gives you an experienced partner in your corner. We help you make the right decisions before you spend the money, create systems that don’t fall apart, and fix what’s costing you time, morale, and profit.

​

And if you’ve reached the point where walking away is the best option, we can help with that too. From negotiating lease terminations to liquidating equipment and wrapping things up cleanly, we’ll help you exit with clarity, speed, and minimal financial damage.

We serve operators across Rhode Island, southeastern Massachusetts, and nearby Connecticut, from fast casual to full-service restaurants and bars.
