Hey!
I'M KRISTEN
Want my recipe for less stress?
I'm not just a systems expert with tons of experience managing operations and growth for corporations and small businesses—I'm also a dedicated lover of all things delicious and delightful.
I started this agency to help food & hospitality entrepreneurs streamline and automate their business processes—so you can wash your hands of all those time-consuming vital chores and get back to your craft and service.
HOW WE GOT HERE
As a kid, I always wanted to feed people and I dreamed of the day when I'd grow up and work in a kitchen. That day never came—professionally anyway; I've put in plenty of hobby hours behind the apron—but my career path has been anything but disappointing.
Along with culinary adventure, I've always been excited by systems. As a key member of executive teams working to grow businesses, my relationship with creative systems deepened to a profound passion.
How could it not, when I repeatedly witnessed the transformative power of effective business systems?
Founding this agency was my creative solution for merging both of my passions and—like you—building a business doing what I love, for the kind of people who truly feed my soul.

HOW DOES SAVING 5 EXTRA HOURS SOUND?
If you're like many of our clients, any new lead could mean 3-5 hours of emailing, planning, customizing proposals, and following up—for a lead that might not even pan out.
Enter Dubsado.
Imagine if the whole process—from collecting a lead, to gathering vital info, to scheduling a discovery call, to building a proposal, sending a contract, invoicing, following up, and offboarding—what if all that only required 2-3 points of your attention?
We're keenly aware of the value of time when it comes to running a business. Especially because quality service inherently takes up so much of it.
We're also familiar with the stress of keeping track of a million moving parts, and the terror of letting crucial things slip through the cracks.
Our core goal is to lighten your administrative burden wherever possible, with automations and business systems that let you take a step back and focus on what got you into the food & hospitality industry in the first place: passion, creativity, and drive.
