What services does CDM offer?

CDM offers two pathways. New Ventures supports owners preparing to open. Business Turnarounds supports venues already trading that need clearer direction and stronger performance.

How does the process work?

Work starts with an initial consultation, followed by a paid strategy plan. Support can then remain at strategy level or extend through implementation.

How is pricing structured?

Pricing starts with an initial strategy meeting. Implementation costs are then scoped based on what the venue needs and the level of support required.

What does the strategy plan include?

The strategy plan identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and risks, then sets priorities and practical recommendations designed to improve performance and profitability.

What types of venues do you work with?

Work spans restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars, hotels, and franchise or multi site operations.
