Culinary Consultants often equates an operations assessment to “an annual physical,” examining each moving part of your restaurant in an effort to identify what’s healthy and what’s not.
By performing an objective assessment of a concept, Culinary Consultants can discover potential efficiencies, cost savings, and improvements in the back of the house, front of the house, and management procedures.
While each operations assessment is customized to meet the needs of each unique food-service concept’s situation, Culinary Consultants always begins by thoroughly reviewing all operational materials, training documents, and recipe books prior to visiting the physical restaurant space.
Armed with an understanding of any outlined systems and processes, our representatives spend time onsite, from pre-opening to pre-closing, to experience all-day operations, in addition to pre-preparation, shift change, and end-of-day systems.
Culinary Consultants will also compare any written standards to reality, noting variances as well as bringing to light any gaps in operational systems and processes.
You can then expect to receive a holistic yet detailed assessment of your complete concept. At its conclusion, you’ll walk away with a comprehensive set of recommendations that will improve operational excellence, food handling, product quality, and guest satisfaction, boosting both top-line sales and bottom-line profits.
While single-unit restaurants can benefit greatly from an expert opinion and an objective outsider’s view, it is critical for growing concepts to establish standardized systems and processes to efficiently and sustainably grow their brand.

Do you know what your per caps are? Is your company optimizing each walk up and intermission? Is your catering the most profitable it could possibly be? How strong are your system’s for stopping underage drinkers?

Would you like to retain more of your key employees, be more profitable and feel secure without working harder than you are right now?

Marketing is vital to everything you do. At Culinary Consultants Group we understand that.
When you think of a ‘fun’ airline who do you think of? If your first thought was Southwest Airlines, there’s a reason for that in marketing we call it ‘Product positioning’ but the bottom line is what it really is, it’s your customers feelings when they think about your company.
At Culinary Consultants we could spend our time explaining what market differentiation is and why a proper value proposition is important to your company, but we care about what you care about & that’s taking care of your customers and growing your business.
At Culinary Consultants Group we don’t believe in marketing “tricks” or “faking it until you make it” we believe you’ve got a passion for what you do and an amazing story to tell & we’ll help you tell it in a way that’s fun, engaging and uniquely you.
