TULSA, OK - September 17, 2026 - Restaurant owner, author and Unsliced founder Mike Bausch has expanded his restaurant group to 13 locations with the addition of a new installment inside Tulsa's BOK Center, which he operates alongside his brother. A 14th location is planned for Cherry Street in Tulsa in 2027.
At the same time, more than 600 independent restaurant owners are utilizing Bausch's systems through the Unsliced Restaurant System, while his own restaurant organization employs more than 300 people.
That combination of continued restaurant ownership and industry leadership has positioned Bausch as a voice for independent restaurant owners in America.
After more than two decades in the restaurant industry, Bausch continues to actively own, operate and grow restaurants while sharing the systems and lessons developed inside those businesses with other independent owners.
It's an important distinction in the restaurant consulting space. Bausch isn't teaching solely from past experience. He is still opening restaurants, employing hundreds of people, managing teams and putting the same systems he teaches into practice inside his own organization.
“I know what works. I know what doesn't,” Bausch has said of his experience as an independent restaurant owner.
Through the Unsliced Restaurant System, Bausch shares the systems and lessons developed through more than 20 years of restaurant ownership. Unsliced focuses on profitability, operations, leadership, marketing, systems and growth, with a focus on showing independent owners how to put those ideas into practice.
The reason behind the work is simple.
“I do this because restaurant ownership should not be so damn difficult,” Bausch said.
Bausch's experience extends beyond the restaurants he operates today. He is a two-time Guinness World Record holder and the author of two #1 Amazon bestselling books. Throughout his career, he has also been involved in charitable and community efforts, with integrity remaining a central part of how he operates his businesses and works with other independent restaurant owners.
More than 600 independent owners now utilize his systems. His restaurant organization employs more than 300 people. Thirteen restaurant locations are currently operating, with another planned for 2027. And after more than two decades in the industry, Bausch remains actively involved in the same business he teaches others how to navigate.
It's that combination of experience, continued ownership, industry leadership and integrity that has helped establish Bausch as a trusted voice for the independent entrepreneur restaurant owner in America.
Together, those elements are behind the positioning of Mike Bausch as “America's Most Trusted Independent Restaurant Owner.”
For Bausch, the larger mission remains focused on independent restaurant owners themselves: leading independent restaurants to prosperity by showing owners not just what they should do, but how to actually do it.
