WHAT WE DO
Restaurant Consulting is the counsel and expertise given by professional consultants with experience in all aspects of starting and running a restaurant business. This may entail contracting, negotiating, diagnosing, data collecting, discovery, reports and project management. It is this unique experience and credibility that makes a restaurant expert so valuable; and, although it may require investing a few dollars today, it can save thousands of hard-earned dollars down the road and may even mean the very survival of your establishment - most definitely money well spent.
It is highly-likely at one time or another that a restaurant owner will need a consultant, or probably work with a consultant on a project. We know how to analyze situations and operations in restaurants and bars of all types and sizes; and, how to consult and advise owners, operators and executives - regardless of the size or type of business that they operate or aspire to operate. Keep in mind, it is always important not to withhold any information necessary for the consultant to make an accurate evaluation of your situation; in doing so, you will prevent wasting valuable time and money. Getting things right from the start is essential for the success of your restaurant, and we can help ensure you do just that.
WE DELIVER
Our restaurant consulting firm has a simple Creed that we live by:
#1 – When considering taking on any new consulting project, we only work with clients that we feel comfortable with, and consulting projects that we are highly-confident that we can and will deliver results on.
#2 – We always provide a FREE Initial Consultation, Analysis & Quote; and, once we have determined to do business together, we always provide a well-written, easy-to-understand Consulting Services Agreement that both parties believe in and are committed to, so that there is never any question as to each party's role, responsibilities, time frames or costs associated with the entire duration of the consulting project.
#3 – Our clients come from every walk of life (including Fortune 500 executives, private family businesses, star athletes, media personalities, entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, bankers, and developers - just to mention a few). Our consulting group has worked in every state in America, in addition to many countries around the globe - with projects for 47 of the top 50 restaurant brands, as well as 100’s of independents. We guarantee absolute confidentiality and anonymity for each and every client. We do not ask for our clients to provide us with references. We provide CV's upon request.
#4 – Our restaurant consultants work very hard, play fair, speak honestly and candidly, do what's right, do what we say we are going to do, expect others to do what they say they are going to do, set high standards, demand excellence, and deliver results. We are DRIVEN & INTENSE and we believe there is no place in business for "jelly-fish" or those who are afraid to hear the truth, even when it hurts.
#5 – We offer our clients expertise that can be trusted, and we go above and beyond the call of duty to constantly and continually stay on top of all industry trends, comparisons and averages so that we know what every type of restaurant concept should be able to achieve.
#6 – At Restaurant Consultants of America™, we demand integrity, honesty, professionalism and "heart-felt" concern for the restaurant industry and the people that work in it. Our world-famous books are found in 76 countries around the globe and are read by tens of thousands of people. We take the responsibility of being good stewards of this industry very seriously so that our clients and others in the business can trust that we "know our stuff", that we are people of our word, and that we will be around for many years to come.
