Building an operational & financial model designed for replication.
Building a prototype with the intention of growth is a very different experience to opening a single restaurant location. With growth, everything is designed around automation and efficiency and the ability to be able to create replicatable concepts that require minimal training but identical results. Growth concepts must focus on creating a model that ensures the same quality of food and customer experience as the prototype and building in systems to prevent deviation or rogue operation. This is in addition to the legal, sales and marketing backbone that must be in place and created, tested and rolled out with unit one.
Our method is to provide tangible returns and increased performance-based results for our food & beverage clients. Assisting in the steps and requirements needed to grow profitably, combined with the systems to build an automated and turnkey product, our clients see positive change.

PRACTICE AREAS - BRIEF OVERVIEW
FEASABILITY ANALYSIS & CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Understanding the technical elements of the concept and the desired demographic being targeted. Examination of all aspects of the concept and a feasibility study to maximize the opportunity and generate the greatest returns. It includes the marketability of the concept and the required factors to create a turnkey operation and best position the concept for success.
MASTER PLANNING & ROLL OUT STRATEGY
The core components of the concept is the largest undertaking within a growth environment. It includes the menu development, pricing requirements and food service automation on a unit level and the corporate requirements for design criteria, site selection, localization, marketing and training. Above all this are the corporate requirements to manage the product distribution, maintain QoS and ensure continued compliance.
RESTAURANT SCIENCE & ECONOMIC MODELLING
The development of an economic model deemed viable requires continued modification and scenario analysis to determine impact of changes on unit and corporate profitability. The key to remaining competitive is the ability to be dynamic and modify the service offerings to the consumer. The key to ensuring profitability through change is the use of theoretical analysis and modeling. The key to greater profitability is the implementation of an in store Restaurant Revenue Management Strategy that can utilize sales and volume data to determine potential challenges and under utilization. Yield management applies every element of the operation, from workflow to the consumer and inventory, and its subsequent impact on volume and profitability.
UNIT OPERATIONS & PROCEDURE MANUALS
On a localized level the concept needs to be bundled into a bible that can be replicated and distributed at all sites. This means that all units irrespective of demographics or location with benefit and produce the expected result. The creation of operations, procedure and training manuals ensure consistency and control of the brand and the execution of the concept correctly. The processes each unit undertakes must be standardized and easy to follow. The creation of manuals combined with a well-executed training program mitigates the risk of rogue operators, substandard customer service, national variations or potential legal implications and allows the brand to blossom.
LEGAL CONSULTATION, UFOC & RELATIONS
Whilst the legal requirements to expand are onerous and substantial our process make this experience less cumbersome. In addition, the importance of strong franchisee relations, council development and support systems are a crucial element which can determine success.
SYSTEMS, OPERATIONS & PERFORMANCE MAXIMIZATION
Ensuring maximum profitability requires constant analysis of all the processes, purchasing and operations to implement stronger service standards, quicker product delivery and greater customer transaction value. In depth audit and review of existing systems combined with RRM protocols need to be constantly updated and deployed. From corporate intranets to reporting protocols, e-marketing programs to technology platforms, a strong infrastructure creates a network with all the units and drives success. Maximizing performance with audit and technology provides a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
