Design Expertise Meets Operational Leadership.

TWO PARTNERS. ONE SHARED PURPOSE.

OEA is led by two partners whose careers bring complementary perspectives to every engagement. Orlando Espinosa brings extraordinary depth in foodservice design and complex project delivery. Matthew Moss brings the perspective of an operator and executive who has spent his career making complex food and beverage organizations perform. Together, they connect design with operations, strategy with execution, and vision with real-world experience.

We take the time to understand your business, your people, your customers, and what success needs to look like. Then we bring decades of experience, research, operational insight, and collaborative thinking to develop solutions that work—not just on paper, but in the real world.

OEA simplifies the most complex challenges guided by research and deep understanding of the customer. This methodology has never been more important in a world in which new food service standards, mandates and needs evolve daily.

Your challenges are unique. Your solutions should be too.

OEA is an internationally acclaimed Foodservice Design and Operations Consulting firm helping institutions, operators, and organizations strengthen every dimension of their foodservice programs. We don't begin with assumptions or a predetermined answer.

We listen. We observe. We ask questions. We collaborate.

We look at your operation through the eyes of your customers and your team, examining each touchpoint while benchmarking against industry best practices.

Then we put our experience to work.

From rapid operational diagnostics and strategic planning to complex facility design and full implementation support, OEA helps turn challenges into opportunities—and opportunities into measurable improvements.

ORLANDO ESPINOSA

Partner | Foodservice Design

Five decades of knowledge. Thousands of projects. A world of experience.

Orlando Espinosa’s depth of knowledge spans an extraordinary range of foodservice applications, including some of the most complex foodservice facilities in the United States and internationally.

His work has taken OEA across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and 11 countries, building a portfolio that ranges from major institutional and corporate environments to highly specialized operations where logistics, scale, efficiency, and performance are critical.

Among Orlando’s career highlights are the design and construction of foodservice operations supporting five Summer Olympic Athlete Villages, offshore installations, and Fortune 100 corporations including Boeing and Lockheed Martin.

Recognized by Foodservice Equipment & Supplies (FE&S) as a Top Achiever Consultant, Orlando brings more than technical expertise to a project. He brings the perspective that comes from decades of seeing what works, understanding why it works, and knowing the questions that need to be asked before a line is ever drawn.

His philosophy is at the heart of OEA:

Understand the operation. Listen to the people. Design for how foodservice really works.

MATTHEW MOSS

Partner, MAS/Operations

Operational experience from the floor to the executive table.

Over more than two decades, Matthew Moss has built a reputation for leading organizations through periods of significant growth, change, and transformation.

What makes his perspective especially valuable is that it has been earned at every level of the business.

Matthew understands the realities of food and beverage operations because he has experienced them firsthand—from day-to-day service execution to executive strategy, capital planning, labor negotiations, and organizational leadership.

His international career spans New Zealand, Europe, and the United States, with leadership experience across complex environments including convention centers, healthcare, higher education, and Olympic Games operations.

That experience allows Matthew to look beyond what an operation should do and understand what it will actually take to make it happen.

He helps organizations strengthen performance, build high-performing teams, navigate complex transitions, and develop scalable strategies that connect leadership objectives with the realities of daily execution.

Strategy grounded in operations. Solutions built to perform.
