Finalists
Goliath Consulting Group
Full-service consultancy founded in 2009 that works with restaurateurs who have a vision and need guidance on making that vision a reality.
In-depth industry experience
The team has 100 years+ in foodservice experience, from owning independent restaurants to running multi-national chains, so Goliath doesn’t have a niche.
“Our answer is always ‘yes’ when asked to volunteer to support the restaurant community.”– Jay Bandy, president
Savannah Bee Company
Hive-minded company that sells all things honey while protecting the planet’s most precious pollinators.
A cause to bee-lieve in
Co-founded the Bee Cause Project in 2013, which has since funded the installation of over 700 observational hives in schools across the all 50 US States, all Canadian providences, The Bahamas, and Puerto Rico. These hives allow the next generation of beekeepers to learn about pollination and safely interact with bees.
“When I began selling jars of honey out of my trunk in 2002, I never could have imagined that we’d grow to 14 retail locations, a bustling e-commerce platform and countless wholesale partners today.” – Ted Dennard, owner
