 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Morgan and Pinnacle Hospitality Consulting are really the best. Not only does he have an incredible depth of knowledge, but the compassion and caring manner with which he is able to point out and implement areas that could be strengthened...*chef's kiss*
As a business owner who can say "this isn't my first rodeo" - I thought I knew systems and at first just wanted a little bit of guidance from Morgan. Boy howdy does he ever go above and beyond and just deliver! I have learned a ton working with him, gained several valuable resources and in my line of work, that hospitality part...he just lives and breathes it. Morgan is a true pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him to any business owner looking for help ranging from some coaching to recruiting, to fully integrated systems that make your business sing. Thank you, Morgan!
