Restaurant Turnaround

When the numbers are going the wrong way, act on facts, fast.

Every restaurant hits a tough stretch: a new competitor, a lease that got more expensive, a key manager leaving, a slow season that ran long. We move quickly to find where the money is going, stop the biggest leaks, and rebuild a routine your team can hold.

Price

Starts with the $3,500 audit

Turnarounds start with the $3,500 Operations Audit and usually continue as a Fractional COO retainer ($5,000/month). Larger scopes are quoted after a free consult.

The problem

A tough stretch compounds week by week.

When sales soften, costs that were fine at higher volume start to hurt. Schedules built for busier weeks stay on the books. Food cost climbs as waste rises. Owners cut where it's easiest, not where it matters, and service suffers.

The way out starts with knowing exactly which costs are out of line and what each one is worth. Then it takes weekly follow-through until the trend turns.

What's included

  • An expedited Operations Audit focused on cash and prime cost
  • A 30-day stabilization plan: labor reset to forecast, purchasing controls, waste and comp tracking
  • Weekly on-site leadership and manager meetings while the plan takes hold
  • Supplier and vendor term review
  • Menu and pricing review to protect contribution margin
  • A weekly numbers check-in so you see progress, not just effort

What you should have at the end

  • A clear view of which costs are out of line and by how much
  • A labor model that fits current sales, not last year's
  • A weekly routine that keeps the business from drifting back

Who it's for

  • Restaurants where sales or margin have slipped for several months
  • Owners facing a cash crunch who need a plan this month
  • Concepts that changed hands or lost a key leader
