INTRODUCING
HOSPITALITY PRO SEARCH
BUSINESS PARTNERS
Strengthening Success Through Partnership
Over the past 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with many respected professionals in the hospitality industry. Many of the owners and principals in my network are people I’ve known for decades, partnering on numerous projects and sharing valuable insights through various hospitality networking groups. These long-standing relationships have played a major role in my success, and Hospitality Pro Search has often been the firm recommended when clients needed management or culinary talent.
When meeting with new or returning clients, I always ask whether they need support beyond recruitment. If so, I’m happy to connect them with trusted professionals from my network. I also maintain a curated list of partners across multiple hospitality specialties. If you need a specific service for your restaurant, bar, or entertainment venue, feel free to reach out—I’ll gladly discuss your needs and make the right introduction.

MATTHEW@SURRENDER.BIZ
Matthew Mabel, founder of Surrender, Inc. (est. 1991), helps owners of successful multi-unit restaurant groups boost revenue, profit, growth, and organizational harmony while gaining more personal freedom. His work has generated millions in increased profits, enabled clients to expand confidently, and strengthened senior leadership teams that work cohesively. Known for elevating best practices, guiding growth strategy, developing multi-unit management teams, and creating systems that allow owners to step away and enjoy life, Matthew believes owning an independent restaurant group should be a joy-and he helps make it one.
MATTHEW MABEL
“I’ve known Matthew for 30 years. We first met as competing nightclub operators in Dallas, Texas, eventually becoming friendly rivals, then friends, and ultimately business partners. Matthew and I collaborate on many projects each year, and he is consistently thorough, committed, and focused on helping his clients succeed. I highly recommend scheduling a call with him-he’s not a typical consultant. He concentrates on just three key areas with his clients, and you should contact him to learn what they are.”
