Jeffrey J. Lavelle

President/CEO

Jeff has spent 32 years in the hospitality industry as a Restaurant Controller prior to opening Strictly Restaurants. His immense success is attributed in part to his detailed work experiences in various positions within the restaurant industry, and his strong financial background.

Jeff and his family previously owned and operated their own restaurant/deli for several years. His last full-time position as CFO/Controller was with French Chef David Bouley which led them to starting Strictly Restaurants thereafter. As being an industry insider, Jeff has come to understand what each and every position, and individual, brings to the success or failure of a restaurant.

Jeff has worked both in the FOH (front of the house) and the BOH (back of the house) in various capacities, then transitioned his way into the corporate office and is presently the owner of his own business. He has the expertise and experience to turn a less profitable restaurant into a profitable business, or an average restaurant into a Michelin star worthy place.

Whether you are looking to make a profit, increase your customer base, or take your restaurant to the next level of successful management, Jeff and his team have what it takes to make it successful.
