Full-service restaurant dining room and bar

Four decades of building restaurants people return to.

For nearly four decades, Ladeki Restaurant Group has built, operated, and grown successful restaurant concepts across California and Nevada. Founded by restaurateur Sami Ladeki, whose concepts — including Sammy's Woodfired Pizza, Toasted Gastrobrunch and Roppongi Restaurant & Lounge — have served generations of guests, the group's practice is built on innovation, operational excellence, and long-term success.

Through years of hands-on experience, we developed the systems, strategies, and operational expertise needed to navigate every stage of the restaurant journey — from concept development and culinary innovation to financial management, marketing, human resources and technology.

Prospect Restaurant Consulting brings that same real-world experience to independent restaurants, hospitality groups, and entrepreneurs looking for practical guidance from professionals who understand the unique challenges of the industry. Our experience spans multiple cuisines, service styles, and concepts — from casual neighborhood favorites to elevated dining destinations, and from single storefronts to multi-unit groups operating across two states.
