Greenwood Advisory was founded to better adapt the realities of everyday foodservice operations intrinsically within the development process.
Far too often, a clear understanding of potential risks & how to best integrate the actual demands of a foodservice program are missing from the planning, design, and construction phases of restaurant projects. The application of our multi-industry experience offers hospitality clients, as well as Landlords & Developers, the opportunity to better protect their investment as they execute their project vision. Our holistic approach, combined with the breadth of our experience, means that we can adapt our services to meet the myriad needs of any project.
Josh Drew, Founder + Principal
With over 15 years in foodservice & hospitality, followed by 10+ years in construction & development, Josh’s expertise integrates the day-to-day ergonomics of foodservice operations with the specific demands of architecture, engineering, and design within the development process. Over the course of his culinary career, he has had the privilege to work in the kitchens of Thomas Keller, Michael Tusk, & Marc Vetri, among many others.
This variety of professional experiences helped to form the basis for the founding of Greenwood Advisory, with an intense desire to better integrate the myriad disciplines that participate in bringing hospitality projects to market. His transition from hands-on culinary roles to strategic development began with consulting work at Sprout LA, and flourished during his tenure as VP of Restaurant Development at Tartine Group. There, he honed his skills in site evaluation, project management, and construction administration. With Greenwood Advisory, he now leverages this wealth of experience to forge strategic partnerships, while ensuring that each project benefits from his comprehensive expertise and innovative vision.
