Welcome to Restaurant Expert Witness. 
 
When a restaurant, bar or food service industry-related matter or restaurant litigation case comes up, we are the experts to call.

Our Clients are mostly –
 • Lawyers and Bankers,
• Franchisees,
• Investors and Partners,
• Customers and Employees,
• Vendors and Developers
• Creditors

. . . primarily, those who have been wronged by restaurants and bars.

Our Core Practice Areas fall into several broad categories, including –
• Franchisor Neglect or Underperformance,
• Employment or Customer Claims,
• Funding or Financial Responsibility Issues,
• & Facility, Furnishings and Site Concerns

. . . primarily, those matters that have caused someone to lose time, money, and resources due to a restaurant’s or bar’s mediocrity, poor performance or negligence.

However, we do serve restaurant and bar companies, owners, and operators, as well, on certain matters, especially those matters where we feel strongly that a frivolous, falsified, or unjust claim has been made.

Hello, I’m Howard Cannon, the CEO of Restaurant Expert Witness™, a division of Restaurant Consultants of America™ and ROI, Inc. Since 1987, we have been serving our clients by providing our world-class quality Restaurant Expert Witness™ services, analyses, consultations and reports.

We are well-known authors, industry insiders, speakers, consultants, advisors and expert witnesses. We do business in every market across the United States and several countries around the globe. We do not charge for our travel so that way we can be certain that every client is treated equally and provided the same cost for our services - regardless of their location in relation to our corporate offices.

We have experts that cover virtually every subject matter and every discipline as it relates to restaurants, bars and food service establishments of every kind.

Let’s face it, disagreements happen due to a wide variety of circumstances and, when they do, all parties involved need professional, reputable industry experts to review the matter and assist by providing industry experience, insight, guidance, opinions, testimony and reports that will aid in solving, resolving or settling the matter efficiently and effectively.

We Deliver –

This, combined with our highly-recognizable books and hundreds of published articles, and you can be confident that you are dealing with people that know restaurants and bars from virtually every conceivable angle.

Integrity – we offer unwavering character, integrity, and honesty, as well as, expert opinions from real industry experts that can be relied on.

Unbiased Analysis & Reports – based on customarily relied upon industry practices and based on an opinion that is rock solid and backed by industry research and information.

Well-Spoken Experts – we have given hundreds of industry speeches and seminars, so we are quite comfortable speaking in front of any size or type of group or any court of law.

Well-Written Reports – we are published authors and experienced writers, with our books and articles published in dozens of markets around the globe - so you can trust that we will deliver a clear and concise report with an effective and efficient message and opinion.
