Sep 10, 2016

When it comes to running your restaurant, optimizing your kitchen is critical to your success. Synergy Restaurant Consultants has the experience and tools that can help your restaurant increase BOH productivity, raise the standards of hospitality, and improve your overall concept. How do they do it? They provide three levels of Kitchen Optimization services that are proven to reduce costs and increase sales. Here’s a peek at what you can expect during the KitchenOptimization™ process.

1. Menu Strategy Review

First things first. Synergy Restaurant Consultants always begin with a review of the current strategy of your menu. In this way, they can understand your objectives in relation to the food and beverages you serve. From there, the assessment continues to evaluate other aspects including production, productivity, cooking methods and beverage strategy.

 

2. Standards Review

Is your menu effectively executed and are your budgets and operating costs in line? A review of these items will help Synergy Restaurant Consultants get to the root of the problem.

 

3. KitchenOptimization™ Assessment

Next, an assessment of all kitchen operations from the time your restaurant opens to the time the doors close will take place. Synergy looks at what impacts labor efficiencies, productivity, food quality, procurement, safety and more. In this way, discovering ways to make improvements that will benefit your restaurant will be found.

4. Food Review

No optimization could be complete without a sampling of the menu offerings. Synergy Restaurant Consultants will give unbiased opinions and recommendations on the flavor, quality, presentation, and value, as well as comment about serving methods and temperatures.
