"We had the good fortune to hire Baseline for one of our hotel-restaurant properties in Chicago. Martin instilled positive lasting changes and has a deep knowledge in the food & beverage industry. We will not hesitate to reengage him if the need arises."
Sanjay Patel - Partner
LXG, Level Hospitality
"I met Martin in 2014 and he helped our restaurant group to reorganize and structure before our sale. He helped us to operate on a higher level and bring in 30% more revenue within the first 6 months. Martin possesses the rare ability to execute both analytical and creative critical thinking. He’s a true professional and I couldn't recommend him enough."
Leon Toia
Former President of Leona’s Pizzeria Restaurants/ Toia Properties
Baseline helped me with two of my restaurants but most recently at Whiskey & Rhythm, an American retro-bar in Indianapolis. Martin is very knowledgeable about menu development, product resourcing, and overall business operations.
