" Jonathan provided expert consulting on much more than retail merchandising. Not only was he able to effect significant change from the front of house marketing perspective, he also performed high impact reviews of operational systems, decision making procedures, and offered connections to many industry leading contacts. His work with S. Clyde Weaver has been incredibly valuable and has given our company a new understanding of how to competitively operate a brick and mortar retail store.."

"Our experience working with Jonathan Raduns was very positive. Jonathan entered the workplace and quickly discovered what he needed to know of our history and product line. He also connected with our business culture to understand the relationships of our team with our customers. Our company is in the fourth generation of ownership after 100 years of traditional farmers market activity. We needed to change to a more up to date and efficient model to adjust to a rapidly changing retail marketplace around us. Jonathan helped us understand how to engage the marketplace of 2020 with understanding of people, product, displays and store layout. I fully recommend Jonathan for retail support services. ."

"Our consultation with Merchandise Food was successful in that we were able to immediately implement several of Jonathan’s clearly communicated suggestions. These actions improved sales and customer impressions. His recommendations were comprehensive and we have a good list of things to improve. He immediately understood the nuances of our business and was able to make practical recommendations, both in the merchandising area and in the financial area as well. "

“Jonathan was referred to us by a well respected hospitality veteran. Jonathan had an immediate impact on our retail sales. After a thorough and thoughtful assessment of our retail establishments, Jonathan presented us with a comprehensive roadmap for making improvements to our store model. As we have implemented Jonathan’s recommendations this past year, we have been delighted by the results most notably the 30% sales increase in our retail goods. We would highly recommend his services for any entrepreneur looking to improve the sales productivity of their stores.”

"I want you to know that I have been NECK DEEP in your feedback and am so excited about next steps. It's going to be the highlight "deep dive" portion of our quarterly planning session next week for Muddy's leadership team and I'm raring to go. Thanks for being the perfect blend of kick ass ruthlessness and super positive encouragement. It's a tough balance and you've got it. Many thanks!"

"The entire process of our remote review with Merchandise Food was easy, exciting, educational, and highly beneficial for our business. We needed a fresh pair of eyes to show us our weak spots and guide us to a more efficient layout of our market. We appreciated all the tips and resources they shared with us to improve customer flow, add to our product mix, and update our fixtures to maximize our space. We would highly recommend Merchandise Food to any farm market that wants professional expertise applied specifically to their business to increase their profitability and efficiency. "

"I called Jonathan for help on a critical, short notice project for the Garden Bar at Ruby Tuesday. While many would have said no, Jonathan not only said yes, he said that he would make the finished results look like it had been planned for months. And he did. Jonathan is a master merchandiser, and understands the unique role that each food ingredient can play when the goal is to visually "wow" the guest. I heartily recommend his talents!"

"Jonathan did a full business review for us a few years back. He was very professional and not afraid to tell it like it was. He had many suggestions for each part of our business. Some were able to be implemented immediately and others are a work in progress. Through his training and plans, we have seen a large increase in team enthusiam and vision. Through some pricing issues we have seen an increase in profitability. I feel that (through) the whole review and plan process the best thing was to see my team come together and get excited about serving the customers."

I have had the pleasure working with Jonathan on projects with two of my clients. His thoughtful and insightful analysis exceeded our expectations. The solutions were detailed and creative. My clients were very impressed with his delivery and professionalism. I highly recommend Jonathan’s firm and look forward to working with him again.
