Stephane Bombet

Operator. Host. Advisor.

35 years in hospitality. Between 2010 and 2018 I opened ten restaurants, bars and clubs in Los Angeles, including Picca, Mo-Chica, Terrine and Faith & Flower, and received the 2 times Best New Restaurant in America award. I sold my last restaurant a couple of years ago. Today I run LA'telier, catering and events, with Chef Eric Greenspan and Bill Coyne, and The Operator Forge, where I help restaurateurs with profitability, training and operations.

LA'telier

Custom events, catering and hospitality experiences, in Los Angeles and nationwide.

The Operator Forge

I advise restaurant owners on profitability, training and operations. What three decades of openings taught me, so they don't pay for the same mistakes.

The Book

I'm writing a book on front-of-house: how great service is built, trained and kept.
