Hi. I'm Steph Jarm, and I'm here to help the restaurant industry thrive – from the front line to the leaders. I believe that when restaurant owners and their teams are empowered, supported, and truly connected, everyone wins. I help restaurant owners build rock-solid foundations through streamlined systems and killer training programs that create a culture of growth and success. And I help team members find their voice, advocate for themselves, and develop the skills and confidence to absolutely crush it in their careers (even if they're just here for the free breadsticks!).
With almost 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry—from hostess to line cook to C-suite executive—I understand the challenges and opportunities from every angle. My approach is all about compassionate leadership and sticking to the systems, because I believe that real human connection and an easy-to-follow structure are the keys to building killer teams and thriving businesses.
If you are ready to create a more joyful, balanced, and profitable future for your restaurant or hospitality career–I'm here to help you get there.

TESTIMONIALS
I grew up in restaurants and backstage at concerts. (Talk about a crash course in organized chaos!) I've plated 200 covers an hour, and organized festivals for crowds over 100,000. Here's what I learned from both: systems and structure are the secret sauce to success, whether you're serving up a killer dish or a killer show.
In the restaurant world, I've done it all—hostess, expo, server, line cook—you name it. I hustled my way to the C-suite in the corporate world, and now I'm bringing those hard-earned lessons to independent restaurant owners, helping them streamline their operations, build rock-solid training programs, and open more doors.
After almost 20 years of working with brands, owners, and operators, if you ask anyone who knows me what lights me up the most? It’s the teams. Teaching them, watching them grow, seeing them rise through the ranks— it’s everything to me. I was blessed with wonderful mentors on my hospitality journey, and I’m always happy to share industry wisdom with a new generation.
Let's face it, your frontline crew—the rockstars slinging drinks, crafting culinary magic, and keeping the energy high for double shifts and cl-opens—they are the ones who truly fuel this industry… and it’s a different world post-pandemic. They have different needs, desires, and challenges and the restaurant world is often slow to adapt to new things. That's why I created The Training Table...
My online community where restaurant teams can level up their skills, connect with each other, and find support and inspiration to thrive in this crazy world of hospitality. Think of it as your backstage pass to a community where you can learn the secrets to rocking your role, share your wins (and frustrations!), and find your tribe.
Beyond the restaurant biz, you can still find me stage-side at live music events (Did I mention I’ve worked with legends like Lady Gaga, U2, and Madonna?), cheffing it up for my friends, and attempting to keep my plant babies alive (it's a work in progress!). Oh, and I'm a proud breast cancer survivor and advocate for cancer research – because life's too short to play it safe.
