What I Do
Business Setup
Building a new business from the ground up, without the know-how of the in's and out's of the business, is risky for a beginner or even a professional.
Getting the financing, sharpening your concept, acquiring the right equipment, choosing the right name, getting the right suppliers and creating a strong infrastructure are all necessary steps to setting you on the right path.
Strategic Consultancy
Sometimes big questions push us away from the big picture.
Any good ideas that an entrepreneur might have must suit the current market demand and business landscape,
A successful business that wishes to grow, must also take precautions before 'running ahead' in order to ensure that everything that has not been thought of is being thought of.
Culinary Consultancy
Creating the right menu that will generate good revenue, while considering all the surrounding variables.
This task is not a simple one. Whether your restaurant is a new place or a preexisting establishment, a fresh, professional & experienced "outside-eye", can go a long way into maximizing the business's culinary possibilities.
Suppliers & Inventory
Knowing how, when and from whom to order your business’s raw materials is extremely important.
Mismanagement of orders can cause major loss of profits. Many variables, such as the start of or end of the week, month, year and knowing the exact inventory needs of a business must be taken into careful consideration.
Food Cost
A good & reliable food cost spreadsheet, is the basic operating system for pricing food & beverages. Some businesses might find themselves with low profit margins due to waste, or incorrect portion sizing in relation to their pricing.
These leaks can be quickly exposed with a comprehensive spreadsheet leading to a well-balanced and controlled food cost.
Improving Profitability
Planning ahead and making sure that the staff and utilities are maximized to the fullest is a smart and preventative method of avoiding the waste of money.
For example the number of working stations in the kitchen, the simplicity or complexity of a single dish can have a big impact on the cost of labor.
Your finger must be kept on the pulse at all times and adjustments must be made on-the-go.
Secret Shopper
Get a clear and unbiased picture of the experience you and your staff are offering.
Sometimes a slight adjustment in ambience, service, hospitality, sales pitches or cleanliness, can improve your bottom line and improve your guest experience.
By getting a detailed report on how a guest rates their visit, you'll have the tools to improve in areas and in ways you may not always see.
Service Mentoring
The choosing and training of your staff, especially when first opening, is ultimately what brings your place to life.
You hire a person, not a position, so let's make sure they are right for the role and make the most of what they have to offer.
By teaching your managers how to manage and train staff you can help create a positive work environment that will help minimize staff turnover.
Staff Training
Keep training your staff!
Whether they are experienced or new, training classes are a way to iron out kinks in knowledge, sales, service or hospitality.
Give your staff the tools they need to succeed at their jobs, improve their check average and most importantly, to maximize your guest experience.
Manuals
Every religion needs a bible, every country needs a law book and every business needs a manual to turn to for every question.
To have a 'go-to' place for all the answers whether for services, menus, suppliers and general information.
A basic "rule" book is the foundation on which a business is built on, saving a lot of energy and preventing costly mistakes along the way.
Check-Lists
Don't leave anything open for interpretation.
Check-lists and organization help keep you prepared and ready for your shifts, days, weeks or months as well as to prevent your staff from forgetting anything they need to prepare, order, and clean on a daily or weekly basis.
Menu Design & Translation
The power of suggestion is one of your biggest tools to increase revenue.
This starts with your menu.
The wording, order and visual layout you present to your guests, will define their expectations and desires of the food they are about to receive.
Google translate doesn't always get it right. Get your menu professionally translated with all the correct cooking terminologies and ingredients.
