Pricing FAQ

How the pricing works.

Why does every engagement start with the audit?

Because we won't sell you a plan for a restaurant we haven't seen. The audit gives us both a shared set of facts: where prime cost is going, what each fix is worth, and which offer actually fits. If it turns out you don't need us beyond the report, you'll still have a plan you can run yourself.

How does the audit credit work?

The full $3,500 audit fee is credited toward any retainer you sign within 30 days of receiving the report. It comes off your first month.

What are the minimum terms?

Retainers (Operator Advisor, Fractional COO and Multi-Unit) have a 3-month minimum, then continue month-to-month. Real operating change takes at least a quarter to show up in a P&L. The audit and projects are one-time engagements.

Do you charge for travel within DFW?

No. On-site visits within Dallas–Fort Worth are included in the price. For restaurants outside DFW, on-site days bill travel at cost, agreed in advance.

Why do you publish prices?

Because you shouldn't have to sit through a sales pitch to find out what something costs.

Do you bill hourly?

No. Every engagement is a flat fee agreed up front, so you never wonder whether a phone call is on the clock.
