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've overseen the openings of dozens of restaurants across the country, with first-year revenues ranging from $2M to $12M. Our work spans restaurants, stadiums, commissary operations, and online retail platforms.
We successfully opened and revitalized locations during the COVID-19 pandemic—proving our ability to navigate crises, adapt rapidly, and uncover growth opportunities under pressure.
We've assembled specialists across operations, finance, real estate, and culinary development. When you work with Flipping Aces, you gain access to a collective of experienced professionals who cover every aspect of hospitality success.
We deliver comprehensive support through both long-term advisory partnerships and targeted, project-based engagements. Our strategies aren't one-size-fits-all—they're customized to your organization's specific needs and positioned for sustainable success.
