Expert guidance to enhance your business operations.
Our mission is to bring clarity and proven guidance to hospitality operators through more than 35 years of hands-on experience. We help owners understand the true value of what they’ve built, identify the weaknesses holding them back, and unlock the potential within their business. We strengthen what works, rebuild what doesn’t, and support operators in creating resilient, high-performing operations.
Carter & Associates was built on more than 35 years of lived hospitality experience — from Michelin-accredited kitchens in London, to fine-dining rooms in Switzerland, to operating and scaling one of Toronto’s most respected gastro-pub groups. Our perspective is grounded in the realities of the industry: the long nights, the financial pressures, the delicate balance between guest experience and operational discipline.
What we offer is not theory. It’s experience distilled into clarity.
We’ve built businesses, rebuilt them, refined them, and strengthened them through every market condition. That depth of understanding shapes the guidance we provide — practical, honest, and tailored to each operator’s needs.
Today, Carter & Associates exists to help owners see the true value of what they’ve built, understand where their operation is vulnerable, and unlock untapped potential with confidence and structure.
Carter & Associates partners with a network of experienced hospitality professionals whose expertise spans operations, finance, culinary leadership, wine and beverage programming, HR systems, and guest-experience refinement. Each associate brings a track record of real results in their discipline — not just credentials, but lived operational success.
We assemble the right expertise for each engagement, ensuring operators receive guidance that is relevant, actionable, and rooted in the realities of their business.
Our approach is collaborative, discreet, and always focused on delivering measurable improvement.
With a career spanning more than three decades, Andrew has worked across every layer of hospitality: from the precision of European kitchens to the strategic and financial demands of running multi-million-dollar Toronto operations. His dual lens — culinary, operational, and executive — allows him to diagnose issues quickly, identify untapped value, and create structure that drives long-term performance.
At The Oxley and Two Brit Pubs Inc., Andrew has refined the balance between guest experience, disciplined cost control, strong team culture, and financial stewardship. Carter & Associates is an extension of that philosophy: practical, grounded guidance that strengthens the businesses operators have worked hard to build.
When the time is right to start the conversation, we’re ready to support you.
