Operations, marketing and menu consulting.
If you are opening a new restaurant:
We can assist with a feasibility site study and lease negotiation to avoid over expenditure on the most important line item in your P&L—the rent factor. We determine your potential costs by devising a pre-approved proforma that will analyze the proposed annual rent, construction, FF&E, OS&E, employee materials and all other expenses.
We work closely with clients to determine market specific cuisine, find the appropriate chef and key management staff and we deliver a comprehensive pre- and post-opening marketing plan. A training matrix for all departments is drafted with training seminars conducted leading to opening day. Expert PR firms and ongoing marketing assistance will be recommended when necessary.

We provide an analysis of the entire restaurant operation, from finance history to service standards and the overall concept. Operators receive a blueprint to get the restaurant back on track and profitable.
We shine a light on ways to control product, labor and other variable costs. We can provide guidance for creating “concept driven” food and beverage menus, staff re-training seminars, and assistance in developing action plans for all decision makers.
Periodic on-site consults conducted weekly or monthly ensure that the restaurant’s concept and standards of service are followed. We also monitor monthly profit and loss statements and participate in monthly and quarterly marketing planning.
