I worked closely with Ellen for four years when I worked in field marketing at Popeyes restaurants. Having worked with hundreds of franchisees while while I worked for some of the best known restaurant chains in the U.S., Ellen has stood out as the best franchisee and restaurant operator with whom I have worked. Nobody understands what it takes to run a first rate restaurant better than Ellen. She manages costs, provides first rate food and service, hires top-rate managers and has a customer-focused staff. Her restaurants were always spotless and her team well trained. Ellen never cuts corners and built some of the very best looking restaurants in the system often putting in extra touches that put her restaurants ahead of those of her competitors. Unlike many franchisees Ellen saw the big picture, often better than most people inside the franchisor organization. She was regularly consulted by other operators as well as corporate staff for recommendations that can be implemented throughout the chain. At Popeyes she essentially led the entire San Francisco market when it came to marketwide marketing plans and purchasing opportunities and took on responsibility of planning and negotiating for all of the restaurants without personal gain. That is just the kind of professional Ellen has always been. Within literally minutes of meeting Ellen I realized that she was a businesswoman with great insight, integrity, honesty, intelligence and drive. Ellen isn't shy and is willing to offer advice and share her knowledge. I always advise others to listen carefully because she knows what she is talking about! Anybody who is fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Ellen will be most fortunate. I recommend her without reservation.

The pleasure of knowing Ellen is an honor. She is a vibrant inspiration in the franchise industry because of her knowledge and common sense approach. Ellen is highly regarded and respected as an expert in the multi-unit franchise arena. Every opportunity to work with Ellen is entirely worthwhile.
