Who we are
if i may is a hospitality consulting team built by two women who’ve lived every corner of the industry—and know how to make it work.
We’re rooted in the Pacific Northwest and work with restaurants, cafés, hotels, bars, tasting rooms, and hospitality spaces at all stages—whether start-ups, in growth, or in transition.
What sets us apart

We believe hospitality works best when it’s intentional, structured, and deeply human.
You bring the vision.
We’ll help you build it—sustainably, strategically, and with soul.

From operations to service training, wine programs to brand launches, we bring structure, flow, and clarity to every corner of your business. You don’t have to do it all alone.
