• Turnaround & Profit Improvement– Assessment & Coaching Services:

For those needing a professional and unbiased assessment of their overall business and a strategy created for on-going coaching, so they can get back on track without wasting a bunch of time and spending a pile of money. With this service, you receive a thorough onsite analysis and assessment of the restaurant or group of restaurants. After the assessment, a specific turnaround and profit improvement strategy is developed that will impact your business quickly and efficiently. You will be provided with 4-months of coaching with unlimited access and use. Your on-going coaching will allow you to call at any time to ask questions and receive help to walk you through the process of what needs to be done and when, so your business can perform at its highest levels. Make no mistake about it, the majority of restaurants can be fixed in a very short amount of time using this approach, and anyone that tells you differently simply wants to waste your money. This services is offered along with the ongoing coaching with unlimited access and use for one flat rate, low-price.

• Turnaround & Profit Improvement – Consulting Services:

On certain occasions, especially those with more complex issues or a larger number of restaurants, a turnaround requires more long-term hands-on involvement. In the majority of instances with single independent restaurants, this is not necessary; but, in cases where it is, a turnaround specialist can plan for more intensive hands-on consulting - offering a wide variety of restaurant turnaround and profit improvement services on a flat-rate, hourly, or project basis.
