The Firm
About Bridge 2 Opportunities —
operators first, advisors second.
B2O was founded in 2010 to help restaurant owners solve the hard problems behind growth. We are restaurant people first. We know what it feels like when the dining room is busy, the team is stretched, and the next decision cannot wait.

The Founder
Charles Wilkinson
Founder
"With over 40 years of restaurant consulting experience and working with some of the biggest chains in the world, I have been able to build the network that I have today. I'm blessed to be in a position where I get to connect passionate people with the resources they need to succeed."
— Charles Wilkinson, Founder
Who We Are
A small team with a deep bench.
Across B2O, our team has worked in operations, finance, people, development, training, marketing, technology, and growth. That range matters because the problems inside a growing restaurant company are connected. We bring the right experience around the problem without asking the owner to build a corporate office of their own.
The Practice
Meet the partners in the seat.
Finance, marketing, culinary, operations, and learning design — every engagement is led by partners who have actually run the room they are advising on.
