“I'm so glad that we decided to go with Prepshift for some continuous education. As a 25-year veteran of the hospitality industry, sometimes, you can get in a rut and it's refreshing to hear some different perspectives and alternatives to what you are currently doing. I found incredible value in the trainings and look forward to more in the future.”
JESSY MELO | Owner, Jessy's Place

"I am currently in the process of opening up my first brick-and-mortar store, and I feel completely comfortable sharing my business plans with the [Prepshift] team and I appreciate how each member utilizes their individual expertise to help bring everything together. They helped with the stressful early stages of my branding, to the financials, and even structured insights into the potential outlook of my new cafe. Thank you for helping me grow my business!

“It’s very easy to slip into thinking the one way you have always done something is the best or only way and [Prepshift] was a great reminder to self-assess your own leadership style and philosophy and to not be afraid to make changes.”
