We've worked the line. EXPO was founded by a team with five years of hands-on F&B experience who combine kitchen-tested instincts with technical expertise in cybersecurity and systems architecture. We build solutions that survive service, not just theory.
Missoula, Montana. We primarily serve the Northwest (Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon), but many services — systems documentation, security audits, training development — can be delivered remotely anywhere.
Both. Our sweet spot is 2-10 location groups, but single-unit operators preparing to scale benefit from getting systems right before opening location two.
Project-based engagements typically range from $3,000-$15,000 depending on scope. Retainers and fractional partnerships are quoted based on depth and commitment. Every engagement starts with a free consultation and a clear proposal.
Most projects take 2-8 weeks from kickoff to final deliverable. We move fast because we know your time is your most valuable resource.
Absolutely. Need just a security audit? A service playbook? One specific SOP? We're happy to tackle single, well-defined projects.
Both. Project-based work for specific deliverables, monthly retainers for ongoing optimization, and fractional operations partnerships for deeper engagement. You choose what fits.
Free consultation to discuss challenges and fit. If we move forward: discovery/audit, solution development, implementation support, and optional ongoing optimization. Clear deliverables and regular communication at every step.
We need access for discovery (observations, interviews, document review) and collaboration on design to ensure solutions fit your culture. Implementation requires team engagement for training and adoption. We minimize disruption but can't build in a vacuum.
We build iteratively with feedback loops throughout. If something isn't landing, we adjust. Our goal is solutions your team will actually use.
