I'm Libier Sandoval. For 15 years I've been running a 150-seat restaurant with 22 employees, and I still do today. As a SCORE mentor, I helped 45 entrepreneurs and business owners turn their ideas into real businesses. In one call, you walk away with decisions, not more doubts.
For you if: you dream of opening your café, restaurant or bar, but you're scared of risking your savings on the wrong move.
In 90 minutes: we pressure-test your idea with real numbers: what you actually need, how long until you earn it back, and the red flags you might be missing.
You leave with: a clear decision (go, adjust, or not yet) and your next 3 steps.
For you if: your business is busy, you're working nonstop… and the money still isn't there at the end of the month.
In 90 minutes: we review your menu pricing, food and labor costs, and how you're bringing customers in.
You leave with: 3 concrete fixes to put in place this week.
For you if: staff keep coming and going, you're covering every gap, and your business is eating your life.
In 90 minutes: we find where your operation gets stuck and you leave with a ready-to-use system (schedules, roles, opening and closing checklists). We also work on leading from calm instead of burning out with your team.
You leave with: a system you can use tomorrow and a new way to lead.
For a day and time that works for you.
So we can go straight to what matters.
And within 24 hours you receive your written action plan.
I live on the other side of the counter, right now: Friday payroll, the supplier who doesn't show, the cook who quits on a Saturday, the month that doesn't add up. I'm not speaking from theory or from memory. I share what works today, in a real operation.
As a SCORE mentor, I worked with 45 entrepreneurs: people leaving corporate to open their own bar or café, a drive-through coffee concept that validated its idea at the farmers market, an established wine entrepreneur already in Whole Foods launching her new varietal, and service businesses like salons and beauty studios.
And here's what almost no one else offers: I'm a Master Spiritual Psychology Coach. Behind every business is a tired human being, and an exhausted owner makes poor decisions. Here we work on the numbers and on the person carrying them.
If you want deeper support, at the end of your call I'll share how to apply for:
Do you only work with restaurants?I specialize in food and hospitality businesses: restaurants, cafés, bars, food trucks and catering. I have also mentored salons and beauty businesses, and I advise coaches and service entrepreneurs on marketing and launches. If your business is something else, email me and we will see if it is a fit.
What if my numbers aren't clear yet?That's fine. The questionnaire guides you, and part of the call is getting them in order.
Is it in person?No, it's on Zoom, so you can join from anywhere.
What language?English or Spanish, whichever you prefer.
What you're carrying can be solved, and you don't have to figure it out alone. One conversation can save you months of trial and error, or a lease you never should have signed.
Choose your call24-hour policy: you can reschedule at no cost up to 24 hours before your call. With less notice, or if you don't show up, the call is considered used, except in a verifiable emergency.
