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-hand, and productivity. Our analysis will give you better insight into long-term planning while balancing cost effectiveness with guest demand.
(The two services above are included in our comprehensive full-service Operations Analysis or are available separately)

Re-image / Re-Design:
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.
Systems Development:
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.
