Restaurant ownership can be a fulfilling career and investment, although it has a poor reputation for longevity, as the statistics have shown. Restaurant failure is not the first thought that comes to mind for a person looking to start a new concept or launch a new venture in the foodservice industry. But this oversight can be fatal to a business. Further, those already operating a restaurant but not keeping up with the competition and failing to assess their operations for efficiency are likely doomed to fail. This is where restaurant consulting comes in.
What Do Restaurant Consultants Help With?
Restaurant Operations
Whether you’re looking to grow your independent bar, café or restaurant, or turn around an under-performing venture, your restaurant consultant should provide more than ideas that work well on paper. An expert restaurant consultant understands the challenges faced by management and front-line workers who will develop solutions that work at the unit level. They will review the following aspects of your restaurant operations:
- Menu development and reengineering
- Operations optimization
- Sales optimization
- Team development
Concept Innovation
A successful restaurant is more than just making delicious food – it’s about delivering an extraordinary guest experience. If you have a concept and need help bringing your vision to reality, a restaurant consultant can help you fill in the blanks, determining exactly what you need to achieve your dream.
A restaurant consultant would go over the following areas:
- Concept development
- Brand design
- Program development
- Brand positioning
