Start Ups Restaurant start-ups entail many different considerations: location/site selection, concept viability, menu character, building from the ground up or converting an existing building, business planning, financing, accomplishing important timelines and checklists, what computer point of sale system should you use, working with contractors, getting a certificate of occupancy, liquor licenses, staffing, training and much, much more. If you aren’t prepared navigate these considerations, you could lose valuable time and money. Let our firm ensure that you are prepared and on target with all of these details. We can serve and guide you from start-up to opening and beyond. Our seasoned team knows the value of achieving milestones in this process and how they impact the long-term success of a restaurant. Operations analysis is an evaluation of how your business is doing. Let us troubleshoot bottlenecks preventing you from reaching your full business potential. We offer project service (a specific project) or detailed full-service analysis (a top to bottom restaurant assessment including a financial evaluation with an action plan) aimed at increasing your bottom line profit. Project service can be as simple as a cost of sales analysis or a systems development tool. A full-service analysis involves everything relevant to your business success. A customized version of this service can also be provided if you so wish to better serve your business. Financial analysis involves breaking down every expense and income source into prioritized importance. Each of these areas will be evaluated to determine what strategic plan needs to be in place for improved cash flow. We will help you determine which tools to use and how to implement and track them. Sometimes a market will not support a restaurant concept any more. The brand might become stale. In order to survive, you may need to re-image or completely change your concept. We provide assistance in evaluating these decisions in order to give you better choices. Our service includes recommendations, an operations change plan, a process list of priorities, project management and design services to support floor plan changes throughout your restaurant so you can achieve your store’s transformation as quickly as possible. Every successful restaurant has systems which contribute to its identity and success. Effective restaurant systems can save you time, money and stress. For any system to be effective it needs to be used and part of the restaurant’s culture. Finding the balance between too much system management and not enough is one of the most important parts of the restaurant business. We offer a variety of systems you can select and we will customize them to your specific needs or we can make an entirely customized system set suited to your individual preferences. Budget Projection and Analysis: Many restaurant owners and operators work extremely hard to develop their businesses only to leave financial planning to chance. Our team’s principal is an expert at crafting and developing successful budgets. He was responsible for simultaneously developing successful budgets for ten stores in three states. He understands the different needs and circumstances of different restaurants. Cash flow, balance sheets, income statements and profit and loss reports are vital to ensuring long-term business success in any industry. Let us help you get more money to your bottom line without compromising service to your guests. Cost of Sales and Labor Analysis: Cost of sales and total labor expenses can run an average restaurant 50-70% depending on market factors. These two areas alone can make or break your business. If you are experiencing challenges in either of these areas, call us. We can help you evaluate raw product cost, menu mix, product on-hands, and productivity. Our analysis will give you better insight into long-term planning while balancing cost effectiveness with guest demand. Training and Team Development: Training and team development are crucial to maintaining your restaurant’s identity. Our principal was selected as a manager mentor and Western United States certified training operator for his previous restaurant company. His responsibility involved validating knowledge and mentoring new management candidates. His insight into developing successful management and employee teams is invaluable. From orientation to certification, our firm will customize training programs and materials to support your restaurant. We also offer custom operations manuals, human resource manuals, recipe books, and more. Marketing is an important tool to help a restaurant reach out to its community to drive sales. In order to track a marketing plan’s return on investment, you have to be smart about investing your marketing dollar and then be able to evaluate its effectiveness for your business. We can help you make the best choices for your particular situation.
