Expanding

As a restaurateur, it can seem exciting yet overwhelming to consider the notion of expanding an established and successful operation. Focusing on “what-ifs” and questioning outcomes can stall progress, while a preconceived notion of success can inadvertently hinder the long-term prosperity of the business. We can help business owners realize their objectives through our guidance, and offer services to help grow their concept, such as:

Current Concept & Expectation Evaluation

Business Expansion Planning

Industry & Demand Evaluation

Location Scoping & Research

Strategize Maintaining Best Practices with Business Growth

We take the time to fully understand our clients’ ambitions, needs, and restrictions when it comes to their businesses. Once we have established attainable expansion goals, evaluated industry demand, and developed a plan to achieve desired growth, we offer our clients our business start-up services to assist them in successfully opening a new location.

Saving

While the restaurant industry is projected to continue to grow year over year, it is inevitable that some businesses will struggle despite thoughtful concepts, good products and services, or the well intentions of their owners. The reasons why could be any number of things, and trying to get “unstuck” can be draining emotionally and financially. We strive to ease the burden of this process by helping business owners re-evaluate and restructure their business as necessary. Services offered include:

Current Concept Evaluation

Evaluation of Business Strategies, Practices, Efficiencies, & Inefficiencies

Cost & Cash Position Analysis*

Concept Redevelopment

Budget Implementation
