AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Operational Efficiency
Providing the tools and knowledge to manage today’s challenges and ensure that they don’t happen again down the line. This includes being able to identify areas of improvement and streamlining business operations. Whether it’s in the front of house, back of house, or the area’s in between, Operational Efficiency is a key skill required to own and operate a successful, profitable restaurant. Areas of focus could pertain to menu size, contents and pricing, efficient workstations, business flow efficiency, inventory and product ordering, streamlined point of sale, floor layouts, kitchen operations, and more. Operational Efficiency allows for overall reduced gross cost and increased revenues and profits, staff retention, increased stress management, increased sales, increased customer loyalty, and a better quality of life.
Kitchen & Culinary
Focusing on everything “kitchen”. From back of house hiring and training, to menu and recipe curation, inventory management, ordering systems, and kitchen layout. The majority of a restaurant’s overhead and labor costs are derived from the back of house, making kitchen and culinary expertise crucial to maintaining a profitable business. Whether you are a chef-owner, or you hire someone to operate the back of house, proper management, efficiency and systems is crucial to owning and operating a successful restaurant. As the owner, you don’t have to be the most competent in the back of house, but it is very important to have a basic understanding of how a kitchen operates.
Bar & Beverage
The Bar and Beverage program should yield the highest profit margin for your restaurant. Menu development and recipe curation, efficiency, accuracy and speed training, bar layout design or redesign, and operational system curation are all crucial elements to having an efficient and profitable beverage program. Bar and beverage expertise will teach you how to get your beverage program up to speed, running efficiently, and supply you with the systems required to maintain efficiency for years to come. By increasing bar and beverage efficiency, you will be able to increase beverage sales and decrease bar waste. In an industry where profit margins are so minuscule, maximum beverage sales and product management are vital to your businesses' long-term growth and success.
Staff & Retention Training
Are you having trouble creating a proper training system for your staff? Maybe you’re struggling with turnover. Staff and Retention Training is vital in operating a successful restaurant. The more consistent your staff is, the less money you have to set aside for hiring and training, increasing customer loyalty, and giving you the peace of mind knowing that you have a reliable and consistent team. A consistent team also leads to decreased costs due to minimized mistakes. Through Staff and Retention Training, your business operations and culture will be evaluated to identify the cause of turnover. From there, systems will be created and you will be trained on how to maintain a consistent staff, resulting in increased profits.
