Our Story
Hello! I'm Mike Richardson, the lead consultant at Yokoten Consultant group. Since 1989, I've been immersed in the food and beverage industry, working across various sectors—from national restaurant chains and large-scale brewing companies to organic food production and global cosmetics firms. My extensive background, particularly my nine-year tenure as a Capital Expenditures and Continuous Improvement Manager, has equipped me with a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities within these industries.
