About Rick Zambrano

Washington, DC (March 6, 2023) The combination of ongoing cost increases and a subdued recovery has hit restaurants hard. Eatery Pulse Media is readying its online learning center to provide strategies and tools based on financial principles to thousands of restaurant owners, managers and staff.

Through the Restaurant Learning Center, Eatery Pulse Media’s editor, Rick Zambrano, continues to feed his expertise back into the industry that launched him 22 years ago. With a background in finance and experience in fast casual, operations services, consulting, writing, and work for a boutique research firm, his knowledge of the industry is second to none.

Says Zambrano, “Initially, we were disappointed that we weren’t able to launch a local school due to the onset of COVID. But this is an effective way to disseminate a knowledge base to industry stakeholders and fortify their ability to succeed in a very challenging restaurant environment. The silver lining is that this instruction can now reach restaurants across the country.”

Sales, food cost, inventory and other foundational topics will appear in the Restaurant Learning Center.

A new link will be forthcoming in March, and the launch will take place in April.

Rick Zambrano serves as editor for Eatery Pulse Media and managing principal of eatery pulse consulting. Through his work in finance, consulting, publishing and research, he developed a unique blend of skills to serve the restaurant industry. Zambrano shares his expertise through information services and consulting.

In the recent past, Zambrano has consulted for the entrepreneurs behind some of the fastestgrowing restaurant brands in the Mid-Atlantic Region. His work began in the fast casual industry, working for Au Bon Pain, now owned by Ampex. Advising senior management and working with restaurant managers and the technology group, Zambrano made a significant impact to the cafe-bakery chain.
