“My goal is to empower restaurant owners with the tools to manage and grow their businesses efficiently and to help them grow through successful operations and marketing that will increase their revenue and free up their time.” - Ahmed Abdelrehim
Ahmed is a dynamic entrepreneur with a rich background in creating and managing successful businesses across two continents. As a young entrepreneur in Egypt, Ahmed quickly showcased his knack for identifying market opportunities and efficiently scaling operations. His journey from owning a retail pharmacy and an import company to venturing into the restaurant industry in the USA exemplifies his diverse business acumen.
Ahmed made his mark in Morgantown, WV, with Cairo 2 Go, an Egyptian restaurant that became a community staple. By developing two ghost kitchen concepts, his innovative response to the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated his exceptional operations and marketing skills, enabling him to double sales during the crisis.
Today, as the founder of Restaurant Rise, a digital marketing agency with a necessary coaching element, Ahmed leverages his extensive experience as a restaurateur to empower other restaurant owners. His expertise is in marketing and coaching, guiding businesses through growth strategies, operational efficiencies, and navigating the complexities of the restaurant industry.
Omar is passionate about unlocking the hidden potential in restaurants, helping them thrive and grow. His journey began far from the world of marketing, with a formal education in geology and a career as a geologist for Barrick Gold, the largest gold mining company in the world. In that role, he honed his skills in using minimal information to uncover gold deep beneath the surface.
Later, as a high school physics and geology teacher, Omar discovered a similar challenge—figuring out how to reach each student in a class of 25 with limited insight into their learning styles.
Now, Omar applies that same problem-solving mindset to the restaurant industry. Drawing on his ability to work with limited data, he crafts tailored marketing strategies that drive growth and success for restaurants. His unique background fuels his passion for helping businesses unlock their potential and achieve lasting success.
