About Us
Foodservice Leaders Deserve Better
Better coordination between design and execution. Better partners who understand products & operations. Better outcomes from concept through opening. We connect the dots so you don't have to.
Our Story
We believe the best food experiences start long before the first guest walks in.
They begin behind the scenes — in the early sketches, menu tests, the sourcing calls, the install schedules, and the late-night spreadsheet edits that somehow become construction deadlines. And too often, that process feels harder than it needs to be.
At Beyond, we’re building something different: a more connected, more thoughtful, and more efficient path from the initial idea to grand opening and well beyond that first service.
Our team brings together deep expertise in architecture and design, FF&E manufacturing, and commercial foodservice equipment. We’ve helped shape national QSR rollouts, supported local operators launching their first space, and managed the behind-the-scenes logistics that make the big picture possible. We know how foodservice projects come together — and more importantly, where they tend to fall apart.
From early design and prototyping to spec development, global manufacturing, logistics management, installation, and post-opening support, we simplify every step along the way. For some clients, we’re a design partner. For others, we’re an FF&E provider, ops consultant, or a full-scope rollout team. But in every case, our role is the same: to make the complex feel manageable, and to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
We work with emerging brands and multi-unit operators alike to launch smarter, grow sustainably, and beat the odds in an industry where complexity is the norm.
We believe foodservice leaders deserve better. Better tools. Better support. Better outcomes. And most of all, better partners.
That’s what we’re here to be.

Foodservice. Simplified.
What Drives Us
Client Obsessed
We're successful when our clients are successful. That's not a tagline – it's how we operate. We show up, we listen, we solve problems, and we build relationships that last beyond the project.
Always Curious
We ask questions. We dig deeper. We stay on top of trends, products, and what's actually working in the field. Curiosity keeps us sharp and ensures we're bringing real value to every conversation.
Make It Happen
Challenges don't intimidate us – they motivate us. Tight timeline? Complex layout? Hard-to-find item? We find a way. Our network is deep, our hustle is real, and we don't quit until it's right.
Own It
No excuses. No finger-pointing. When we commit to something, we follow through. We take pride in our work, we're accountable for outcomes, and we treat every project like our name is on the door.
Less Noise, More Action
We cut through complexity. Clear communication, streamlined decisions, and a focus on what actually moves the needle.
The Team Behind Beyond
We've spent years in architecture, foodservice design, FF&E manufacturing, equipment, and global sourcing. We've designed spaces, built products, managed rollouts, and solved the problems that come up in between. We know this industry—and we're here to make things easier for you.
Over the past decade, Tanner has led teams in the design, fabrication, and fulfillment of FF&E—from modular casework and custom furniture to stainless fabrication and retail fixtures. With a background in product design, lean manufacturing, and global procurement, he's built end-to-end programs for leading brands that perform in the real world. He's obsessed with operational excellence and finding smarter ways to solve complex problems.
Jon has spent 25+ years in the foodservice equipment world, leading teams from Ohio to Florida and building deep relationships with manufacturers, operators, and brands. He knows equipment inside and out—what works, what breaks, and what's actually worth the investment. Jon's approach is simple: understand your operation, ask the right questions, and spec products that fit how you'll actually run your business.
Over the past 12 years, Alex has designed foodservice spaces across the country—from single locations to multi-unit prototypes. His background in architecture and FF&E manufacturing gives him a unique edge: he doesn't just draw what looks good, he designs what actually works and can be built efficiently. Alex has helped brands overhaul product designs, improve workflows, and build functional standard toolkits that make rollouts faster and more consistent.
