Hi, and welcome!

I'm Carrie Luxem, Founder & CEO of Restaurant HR Group and the Trainer & Coach here at the Academy.

My team and I have designed this Academy specifically for restaurant HR professionals, operators, and leaders who want to master the art of people management.

Why? Because we’re on a mission—a serious one—to create more restaurant success stories, and it all starts with successfully leading people.

Our Goal

  • Success at Every Step

    Equip you with the tools, insights, and confidence needed to build and maintain simple, effective systems that drive success throughout the entire employee lifecycle.

  • Impactful + Purposeful

    From hiring to compliance to leadership development, what you learn here will empower you to make a massive impact—not just in your restaurant, but in the lives of everyone you touch.

But this is more than learning...It's TRANSFORMATIVE.

We’re not here to bombard you with information or hand you a checklist to follow. We’re here to change the way you think, operate, and lead.

The Academy is designed to transform your approach to leadership and people management, empowering you to elevate your team and restaurant to new heights.

It’s about becoming the leader who inspires, the operator who redefines success, and the HR professional who creates lasting change.

***

I began my journey in the restaurant industry at the age of 15. Since then, I’ve seen the highs, the lows, and everything in between—the good, the bad, and the super-duper ugly. 😉

I’ve built and led teams, created systems that are easy for any restaurant employee to grasp, and discovered the magic that goes beyond “hard skills” to achieve unparalleled success in this industry.

My true passion lies in the success of my team, clients, and students. There’s nothing I love more than teaching, coaching, and inspiring those around me to not just love their careers, but to make a powerful, positive impact while doing so.

READY TO BECOME THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF?

If you want the clarity, guidance, and actionable tools to succeed with people in your restaurant and beyond—then this Academy has something for you.

Together, we can transform the industry, have some fun along the way, and, who knows, maybe even change the world.

Soon, we’ll share the full range of what our Academy offers!
