BUSINESS TURNAROUND CONSULTANT SUPPORT
When a restaurant, café, pub, bar, or hotel is under pressure, quick fixes rarely hold.
Stronger results come from understanding what is driving performance, tightening the foundations, and putting a practical plan in place that the venue can maintain through real service conditions.
Who this is for:
01
Restaurant, café, pub and bar, hotel, and franchise operators under pressure
02
Owners struggling to cover running costs or have little capacity to step back and lead
03
New operators taking over a going concern & needing clearer structure
04
Teams that need stronger standards, tighter systems, and better cost control

Leadership and management support
Work often begins by refining the concept so it matches the market and translates into a consistent guest experience.
Review often includes ordering, prep flow, service routines, and day to day structure that supports standards.
Cost pressure rarely improves on its own. A clear view of purchasing, margins, & waste allows for better decisions.
Support may include observation, feedback, retraining, and clearer expectations for management and staff.
Work often includes clarifying roles, improving communication, and strengthening decision making.
Work begins with a consultation and a paid strategy plan, then continues with the level of support that makes sense for the venue.
1) Initial consultation and review
A focused discussion to understand what is happening in the business, what has been tried so far, and what needs attention first.
2) Strategy plan (paid)
A structured review of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and risks, followed by clear priorities and recommendations designed to stabilise performance and improve profitability.
3) Support options
Support can be tailored to the venue’s needs and budget:
-
Strategy only for owners who want clear priorities and direction
-
Guided implementation working alongside owners and management
-
Implementation support where required to establish systems and lift consistency
