👨‍🍳 About Nick

 I’m Nick Martinez—and I’ve spent the last 18 years living the same reality most restaurant owners are navigating right now.

I’ve opened restaurants from the ground up, run high-volume kitchens and dining rooms, and led teams for brands like Wingstop, Red Robin, Texas Roadhouse, Olive Garden, and more. I know what it’s like to wear every hat in the building, stay late because someone didn’t show up, and wonder if the profit will actually show up after payroll hits.

That experience is exactly why I started Food Service Partners—to be the kind of support I wish I had back when I was in the grind every day.

Today, I work directly with independent restaurant owners who are feeling stretched thin, stuck in the chaos, or unsure what to do next. My job is to bring clarity, profit, and strategy back into your business—through personalized consulting that focuses on your unique operation. I believe in hospitality that’s unreasonable, marketing that actually drives traffic, and systems that give you your time back.

But more than that—I believe in people. This industry is built on connection. And when your business is aligned, your vision is clear, and your team is thriving, that’s when the magic of hospitality really comes to life.

“I’m not here to change who you are—I’m here to help you build a restaurant that reflects it.”
 

I’m also a proud partner and a new dad, which means I understand the deeper reason why many owners want to build something that works: to have more time with the people they love.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start growing, I’d be honored to guide you.
