MENU OF ALL RESTAURANT CONSULTING SERVICES

1. We fix under-performing and failing restaurants and help good restaurants become great. We do this by using a service we call    restaurant analysis. This is a powerful, objective, third-party perspective on what’s really going on in your current operation and a road-map to moving forward. 
2. Restaurant startups – help from day one to opening and beyond. For almost every type of restaurant, there are multiple tasks that need to be completed before you open. Over the years, we’ve learned that there’s a hard way and an easy way to get this work done, so we take the complex and make it simple! We actually divide the project up into administrative, culinary and beverage components with better results, faster. In a recent, large new restaurant opening, the outcome by using this method was just outstanding and we’d be happy to show you how we do it. When it comes to startups, we can coach you through it, work side-by-side with you, or if you prefer, we can take on the entire project and just hand over the keys when we’re done! 
3. Concept development – we’ll help you maximize your opportunity with the design and rollout of a new concept. We’ll compare your idea to the market and brainstorm with you to achieve the highest and best use for your great idea. If you want us to develop a concept for your special space, we’d be happy to discuss this as well. 
4. Services and solutions for bar owners. Complete solutions for startup and existing bars of all size and type. If you want to open, run or improve any bar operation, we’re the team leaders in the market. 
5. Management Development and Training.  If your team is new to the game or maybe it’s time to get everyone on the same page, we’re the  team you can count on when it comes time to develop and train management….one person or the whole team. We have the processes, procedures and hands-on experience to make the life of a restaurant manager one that’s desirable and enjoyable! 
6. Restaurant profitability improvement. Nationwide, independent restaurant operators are bringing between 2-4% to the bottom line. Our clients enjoy significantly better results, so if you’re serious about making money in this business, give us a call and let’s discuss where you’re at and where you’d like to be. It’s likely that we can help you get there.
7. Menu development and menu engineering. Your menu means everything to your business. It drives your brand, makes your place unique and helps secure your future. If you need a new menu or maybe just a refresh, let us know.
8. Culinary cost controls, inventory management, order guides, vendor relations. These are operating tools for your kitchen and every operation needs them to maximize productivity and profitability. 
9. Basic culinary training for your hourly team members. For startups, this is required and for existing operations, a refresher course in basic culinary operations can bring new excitement to your kitchen.

14. Short-term management coverage.  Want a little short term professional management coverage? Maybe you’re going out of town and want assurance that your business will still be open when you return? We would be happy to provide management coverage on a short term basis. Costs are based on length of time, size of your operation and where you’re located.
15. Cost control review and improvement. For many operators that have a good concept but no profit, this creates an infuriating situation. In some cases, it’s a matter of financial modeling to see what’s missing or what could be improved upon. For others, it may require a financial systems overhaul of paperwork or accounting systems. We have the team and resources to help get costs and your systems under control. 
16. Restaurant operating systems from start to finish – design and implementation. If you’re working a job function, can’t seem to get things under control or maybe find yourself working 60 or more hours a week, it’s likely that you’re missing key operating systems. We custom-craft operating systems for every type of foodservice operation.
17. Company Policy Manuals.  If you have more than one location and don’t have a company policy manual, you’re going to be in trouble. In fact, look around and try to find a successful multi-unit operator that does not have a company policy manual and you won’t find one. This is a key tool in your ownership toolbox. Roughly 100+ pages and every aspect of your operation is included.
