Nate Diederich, principal consultant at NDR Consulting

I've spent more than 20 years leading teams and managing operations, primarily in restaurants and hospitality. I've built teams, managed multimillion-dollar businesses, opened locations, developed leaders, and worked through the day-to-day problems that come with running an operation.

NDR Consulting is my practice. When you hire NDR, you work directly with me. I bring an operator's perspective to the work: understand what's actually happening, identify what needs to change, build a practical solution, and help put it into action.

My background also includes a degree in Human Resource Management from the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire, which shaped how I approach hiring, training, workforce planning, and leadership development.

How I work

  • Start on the ground. I look at how the operation runs today before recommending anything.
  • Say it plainly. Direct answers about what's working, what isn't, and what it will take.
  • Build what sticks. Processes your team can actually run once I'm gone.
  • Stay through execution. Plans are easy. Implementation is where most of the value is.
