Founder & Principal Consultant
📍 Fishers, Indiana
Matt Riley is a seasoned food service executive and strategic consultant with over 20 years of experience driving organizational performance, developing leaders, and engineering sustainable growth.
Matt has spent the majority of his career inside Chick-fil-A, rising to Vice President of Enterprise Solutions at the Noblesville, Indiana location and overseeing multi-location operations. He brings a rare combination of frontline operational credibility and boardroom-level strategic thinking.
In addition to his consulting practice, Matt is an independent iOS developer operating under MFR Strategies. He built Vantage Audit — a restaurant assessment app for QSR operators — and the Coop Apps platform, a suite of tools purpose-built for independent restaurant operators. His philosophy: the best solutions come from people who have actually done the work.
Matt lives in Fishers, Indiana with his wife Stacey and their three children. He is known for his direct communication style, his deep commitment to developing others, and his belief that the right strategy, built on the right culture, can transform any organization.
MFR Strategies is built on a simple belief: real results come from honest partnership, proven frameworks, and leaders who are willing to do the hard work.
Before any strategy, we work to create shared clarity — on goals, constraints, and what success truly looks like for your organization.
We believe every great strategy is ultimately a people strategy. Our work centers on building the human capacity that sustains long-term success.
Our frameworks aren't theory — they come from decades of hands-on leadership in one of the most operationally demanding industries in the world.

Get in TouchPurpose-built iOS tools for independent restaurant operators
Matt Riley develops iOS applications under MFR Strategies, building software that solves real problems from 20+ years inside food service operations.
A powerful, flexible auditing tool built specifically for food service operations. Stop fighting your audit tool and start getting real insight from it — Vantage puts customizable checklists, scoring, and reporting in your team leaders' hands, right on iPhone or iPad.
All assessment data stays on-device. No accounts required, no data sent to external servers.
Coop Apps is a growing suite of software for independent restaurant operators — covering HR, maintenance, catering, and marketing. Apps share your organization's data, so you're never re-entering employees or locations across tools. Access is permission-based: operators, managers, and team members each see what's relevant to their role.
HR Coop is available now. It covers the full employee lifecycle — discipline tracking with timestamped records, attendance documentation, time-off management, meeting notes, org-wide goals, jobs & recruiting, and time punches with payroll export.
Coop Maintenance is also available now. Keep your locations running smoothly with work order tracking, equipment logs, vendor management, and preventive maintenance scheduling — all in one place.
Coming soon: Coop Catering and Coop Marketing.
Visit mycoopapps.comIf you have a specific workflow problem that existing software doesn't solve, Matt is available for custom development discussions.

Vantage is a restaurant assessment app developed by MFR Strategies. This policy explains how Vantage handles your information.
The app stores the following data locally on your device:
All assessment data is stored on your device. MFR Strategies does not send your assessment data to external servers, share it with third parties, require accounts or logins, or track usage or analytics.
RevenueCat handles in-app subscriptions and may collect device identifiers and purchase information solely to manage your subscription status. Your assessment data is never shared with RevenueCat or any other third party.
Your data relies on your device's built-in protections, including passcode lock and encryption. Subscription payments are processed through Apple's App Store and RevenueCat.
You decide whether to share your data. PDF reports can be exported and shared manually. There is no automatic sharing and no third-party access to your assessments or photos.
You can delete assessments at any time from within the app. You can also export assessments as PDF reports. Because MFR Strategies does not collect assessment data externally, our servers retain none of your assessment information.
Vantage is not intended for children under 13, and MFR Strategies does not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
MFR Strategies may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be indicated by updating the "Last Updated" date above.
