Some of our Restaurant Consulting Services
Menu Engineering
With our custom menu engineering solutions, we leverage our expertise by analyzing your recipes, optimizing your food cost, tweaking preparation processes, creating, and refining your current offerings. We can increase your profitability by applying critical changes to your expenses and operation. Within a week, our tailor menu engineering solutions can increase a restaurant’s profits by 8% to 15%. That means if your annual food sales are $1 million, every 1% of improved profitability is a profit increase of $10,000!
Restaurant Audit Services
Our restaurant audit system will reveal the good, the bad, and (in some cases) the ugly facts about your food business, from the front door to the back door. Be ready to be transparent as we will study all your processes and business ratios. This information, professionally and meticulously compiled by an objective expert, will help you make the most effective decisions. We specialize in helping food businesses get back on track of generating revenue and navigating towards profits.
Restaurant Openings
Opening a restaurant is a risky and costly endeavor, but with our support, you will be better positioned to make your dream a successful reality. Our professional Chef Consultant can advise on concept development, conduct a business model audit, collaborate on menu /recipe development, create and perform kitchen staff training, and anything else you need to create an outstanding restaurant opening. We do not work with specific equipment dealers or brands, but we are proud to be a RATIONAL Certified Chef. (see testimonial below)
Restaurant Makeover
Is your restaurant business suffering from lack of profitability, unmanageable debt load, a dated concept, or team burnout? Then you need an external expert to rock the boat, assess the root causes of the problem, and help you to make necessary changes. Our restaurant makeover services are specifically designed to help you modernize and improve your business. We conduct full business assessments, from front to back end, identifying existing problems and looming risks, recommending optimal staff training strategies, developing solutions, helping inject fresh ideas, and implementing fundamental changes that will make your restaurant shine without sacrificing essential elements of your brand identity.
