Dear Buzz - I apologize if you felt mistreated during your interaction. As the owner of Blue Orbit, I want to be sure that everyone who reaches out to us is treated with respect and care. That said, the intent of our website is to discuss potential client needs and challenges. We receive calls every day from outside entities seeking discussions about vendor partnerships, jobs, product endorsements or simply to access to our client list. We are very protective of our client relationships so, as a rule we dont give much oxygen to unsolicited help offerings. Based on the brief details you shared, it appears that you were seeking a relationship other than client/consultant so Im not surprised you experienced a short call. If you called today, wed answer and, upon discovering that you were seeking a relationship other than client/consultant, wed politely end the conversation as quickly as possible. If you were insistent, belligerent or otherwise forceful, wed accelerate our efforts to end our conversation with something like, thank you for calling but were not interested. I dont know what a not-for-profit think tank is and seeking help from one is not in our strategic plan. Upon searching for you online, we an find no one with your name associated with a non-profit think tank so I have no choice but to flag your response as inappropriate and inapplicable. Considering I take most new business calls and dont recall speaking with you, and cant find any relationship between the names you shared and a non-profit think thank, I can only assume nefarious intentions.

I dont normally do this. My name is Barry Shortman This is not a normal review because all I experienced from them was their customer service and PR. Thats all I can attest to. I run a not for profit think tank which actually, ironically enough, consults restaurant consulting companies, and I found their reaction to my earnestly open hand of help to be extraordinarily disappointing. Im not leaving a one star review because Im not sure if the reaction of one single man ought to reflect on the whole company, Im willing to take my review down if I receive an apology. But if I dont, Ill have no choice but to keep it up. Merry Christmas and I hope to hear from you :) All the best Buzz
Chris, you and Ann have really done a remarkable job creating your dream. I'm honored to have been part of it and I look forward to seeing you soon! Thanks for the kind words :-)

There is no way how we in writing can describe how much Ray and Blue Orbit have changed our lives. We moved to Atlanta from Europe with the dream of running our own business and had decided that a restaurant was the ideal thing for us. However, we did not know enough about the American market to get things going alone and ended up hiring Ray as our consultant. After a few meetings Ray sat us down and told us the truth. He said: "Don't follow through with it. Your passion is not in the restaurant, but in the building of the restaurant". And he was right. We had not thought it through and was about to spent our life savings on a project where we were not 100% dedicated - what a disaster that could, and most likely would have been. Instead, Ray looked at us, what we were passionate about at guided us through the complicated process of understanding business financials. Today, 2.5 years later, we own a very successful furniture studio in Atlanta where we design and fabricate furniture and more for both residential and commercial clients all over the South. Actually we are doing exactly what Ray said - we build restaurants! Ray was able to see us for who we are and guiding us in the right direction. Thank you!
Chris you're very kind. Thanks for your support and wisdom throughout the years!

As someone who has been in the Restaurant Industry since the second term of the Nixon Administration, I write from the real Restaurant World where I served as a Restaurant Operator for several NYSE Restaurant Companies as well as a Director of Operations for an Independent Restaurant Company enhanced by 30+ years of Restaurant Management Recruiting to say this: Blue Orbit Restaurant Consulting represents the Gold Standard of Restaurant Consulting. Period. Ray Camillo, the President & Founder of Blue Orbit, and Mike Maxwell, Ray's business Partner, along with their incredibly talented Team of Experts have always displayed the utmost in ethics coupled with a passion for excellence in every project. As a fellow professional service provider who has made his living the past 36 years recommending Management Talent, I am proud to give my highest recommendation ever to Blue Orbit Restaurant Consulting.
Thanks Jim! We're optimistic about the spring and think it will be a great time to make moves to grow more concepts. You're in a great position and we love working with you and your team!

Blue Orbit has consulted with us on two restaurants. I find them to be professional, knowledgeable, responsive and caring. I would recommend them to anyone.
Thanks Ryan! Your kind words mean a lot to us! Congrats on getting the food truck launched too... a great "COVID Buster" :-) Ray
