Why Aces?

Flipping Aces Hospitality Consultants exists because great restaurant concepts deserve operational excellence to match their vision. Too many talented operators and entrepreneurs struggle not from lack of passion or creativity, but from gaps in strategic planning, systems, and execution support.

Our Story

Founded by Andrew King, Flipping Aces was built on a foundation of hands-on experience and proven results. After partnering with iconic hospitality brands like Momofuku (FUKU), GENJIGO, Hill Country Hospitality, Num Pang Sandwich Shop, and Hillstone Restaurant Group, Andrew recognized a critical need in the market: independent operators and growing brands needed access to executive-level expertise without the overhead of full-time leadership.

Andrew's approach is rooted in real-world experience—he started as a busboy and worked his way through every level of restaurant operations. This foundation shapes our leadership philosophy: teach, empower, and support teams at every level to drive sustained performance and profitability.

We don't just build brands, we define them and drive their success.
