PeopleLinx Partners with Johnny Tellez and El Jefe Enterprises

Johnny Tellez, founder of El Jefe Enterprises

We're excited to announce a new partnership with Johnny Tellez and El Jefe Enterprises. Starting today, every PeopleLinx client has access to Johnny and his team, beginning with a complimentary Unpack session.

PeopleLinx brings you the leads. But value can leak out somewhere between the lead and the bank account. That's where El Jefe comes in: Johnny sits down with you, finds the constraint, and builds the plan that turns leads into value.

Meet Johnny

Johnny brings 20+ years in franchising, built from the floor up, with experience across Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Red Mango, Rita's, Which Wich, Focus Brands and Blaze Pizza. Today he runs El Jefe Enterprises, helping owners get their time back. His #1 KPI is simple: hours not building.

Who it's for

  • Multi-unit restaurant and franchise owners

  • Best fit: catering programs, 10+ locations, and big markets

Where Johnny helps

  • Lead handling: making sure leads don't sit too long and every one has an owner

  • Follow-up: asking for the second order

  • Staffing: setting the team up to deliver at volume

  • Unit economics: making sure higher sales show up in store numbers

  • Big picture: helping you run the business, not just the operation

How it works

  1. Unpack: an honest look at where the business stands. Free, with no ask up front.

  2. Find the constraint: the one thing holding the rest back.

  3. Build the plan: a path, a scoreboard, and accountability to get it done.

Every engagement is guided by Johnny's Five P's: People, Profit, Process, Promotion and Priority.

Next steps: book your complimentary Unpack session
