Okay, let’s tackle this. So Mike Riesenbeck has 44 years of experience, which is extremely long. Typically, executives with this level of experience can charge higher rates. However, his industry is food service, which tends to have lower average salaries. I'll compare this to average salaries for executives in the food service industry. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual salary for restaurant managers is around $55,000. Considering Mike's experience and industry, I'll estimate his hourly rate to be around $75, which is slightly above the industry average.
