About Us
Restaurant experience.
A personal approach.
Jesse Duron is the independent restaurant consultant behind Tokyo Dining Group. Based in Los Angeles, he works across cuisines, with a specialty in Japanese dining.
01 / Experience
From the first idea to a full dining room.
Jesse’s experience comes from building, opening and running restaurants. He’s worked the floor, trained teams, developed menus and helped turn around struggling operations. Today, he brings that hands-on experience to the brands he owns and the restaurants he works with.
That experience includes hands-on turnaround work at Hamasaku, opening-floor operations at Tokyo Noir, and shared projects in Japanese, Mexican and Vietnamese dining. Each restaurant has its own story and its own team.
02 / Working together
You work directly with Jesse.
The starting point is your restaurant: what you want to build, how it runs today and what is getting in the way. Jesse connects the food and brand with practical decisions about costs, staffing, service and everyday systems.
In the brands he owns, his current work includes marketing, food costs, menu development, HR and payroll. Consulting scope is shaped around the restaurant’s needs, with the owner, chef and team involved in the decisions.
03 / English & Japanese
A conversation that carries across markets.
For Japanese restaurant teams entering the U.S., Jesse helps connect the original idea with local guest expectations. Menu language, prices, portions, staffing and opening plans all deserve attention before the doors open.
English and Japanese support makes those discussions easier. The same practical approach applies to restaurants of other cuisines and to existing U.S. operations.
