difficult transition

I am in the midst of a contract company taking over the food service where I work. The process has been stressful, chaotic at times and frustrating. I am very familiar with contract companies as I worked for one for 14 years. I actually like my new boss but think he has a tendency to create some of the issues we are dealing with. Is there a tactful way to offer advice on how to make the transition smoother? In the past, he has told me to tell him how I feel, which I have opened up about some of my frustrations but not to the point of telling him how some issues could have been avoided. How do I know if he really wants to hear constructive criticism? This has all transpired within the last 40 days, so I don't know him really well.
