Jack F Moran, CEO
WHO WE ARE
Our founder’s path into food and hospitality wasn’t traditional. What began with a career in music and late nights in New York led to a first role at the Hard Rock Café, where he was personally hired by founder Isaac Tigrett. The energy of the business, the creativity, and the connection with people sparked a lifelong passion. From those first shifts on the floor, he worked his way up through nearly every role — from host to General Manager of a $25M flagship, then to Director of Operations for Canada and the US East Coast, before being sent overseas to turn around struggling European operations.
That hands-on experience became the foundation for a career leading some of the world’s most recognizable brands, including Hard Rock Café, Le Pain Quotidien, Au Bon Pain, and Paris Baguette. Over three decades, he has built and scaled businesses across the U.S., Europe, and Asia — from revitalizing challenged operations to designing global franchise systems that thrive.
For him, hospitality has always been about more than food. It’s about people, culture, and connection. That belief has shaped his work: guiding leadership teams through turnarounds, building strategies for international expansion, and helping businesses of all sizes unlock their potential.
Today, Jack F Moran leads ManorHouse Advisory group with the same spirit — combining practical know-how, creative insight, and global perspective. Whether through consulting, speaking engagements, or leadership workshops, his goal is simple: to help clients grow, scale, and succeed.
