Background

About Travis Yardley

With 17 years of leadership in food & beverage operations, consulting, and project delivery, my journey blends a passion for measurable success, the art of building human-centric systems, and the craft of creating memorable experiences that leave people feeling seen, heard, and loved. Driven by a relentless pursuit of understanding the "why" behind every action, I specialize in turning complex and undefined operational challenges into scalable, tech-enabled solutions that bridge the gap between high-touch service operations and technical systems design through scalable, people-first systems. I’ve led initiatives that turned a $30K monthly loss into profitability within 90 days, developed custom CRM solutions and loyalty programs that delivered up to 235% ROI, and implemented cost-saving process improvements across logistics, labor planning, and regulatory compliance that align teams, reduce waste, and deliver measurable results. CRM Implementation & Development (HighLevel, Salesforce, Microsoft Access) Business Intelligence & Automation (Excel, VBA, Power Automate) Operational Turnarounds & Team Optimization Product Rollouts & Stakeholder Alignment Regulatory & Safety Compliance (WorkSafeBC, CFIA, USDA, Fraser Health Authority) Cross-Functional Leadership & Change Enablement From managing high-volume restaurant operations to leading digital rollouts and cloud migrations, I bring a service-first mindset to operational transformation. My niche is combining strategic insight with practical execution in high-interaction, legacy environments where getting the job done means building systems that people actually use. Targeting roles in product, implementation, or operations leadership where I can bring clarity to complexity, align cross-functional teams, and deliver systems that scale in people-first, service-driven organizations where structure, strategy, and service intersect. Let’s connect and explore how I can help translate your vision into a heartfelt and and ROI-driven structure that your team can execute on.
