JGL is a boutique consultancy serving the corporate, cultural, and higher education markets. We are passionate about developing successful food service and retail operations at our client locations. “Success” may mean the hot new destination restaurant in an expanding museum, increased retail merchandise sales at a zoo, a revitalized event rental program at an aquarium, or identification of a food service partner with aligned sustainability initiatives at a college or university. JGL’s customized management advisory expertise enables our team to deliver on client goals.

FROM THE PRESIDENT
“JGL is passionate about helping our clients achieve their goals related to food service, event rental, catering, and retail stores. Our clients recognize the importance of these functions but do not have a core competency in them. Talk to our clients about our work; you will see why 60% of our business comes from client referrals. Better yet, give us a call. We love to share our thoughts and are always happy to answer questions.”
– Tracy Lawler, President of JGL Consultants
