THE OFFER
One thing first, then three ways to carry on. Nothing here is a package invented to fill a page.
START HERE
Everything starts here. A full diagnosis of where the money leaves your building, with a number against every finding and a thirty day plan to recover it. Nothing else on this page happens until this is done.

Eight to twelve days on site over thirty days, implementing the plan with you rather than handing over a report and leaving.

Monthly. Ongoing advisory.
Start a Sprint or a retainer within fourteen days of your audit presentation and the £1,250 comes off your first invoice.
THE PROCESS
The clock starts when your numbers land, not when you book.
Timeline
Day 0
Three months of accounts, a POS export by daypart and category, your menu with prices, four weeks of rota with covers, and basic operating context.
Timeline
Day 1 to 3
Three to four hours in your building including part of a live service, because the leaks only show themselves under pressure.
Timeline
Day 7
Ten sections, a number against every finding, ninety minutes going through it with you, and a thirty day plan in priority order.
The audit in fullCREDIBILITY
The difference is not expertise. It is that he has been the one who has to live with the decision.
Twenty-one venues, from an Indian takeaway to a boutique hotel. He has signed leases, written rotas and stood on the pass at eight on a Saturday.
No team, associate or template. The person who walks your floor writes and signs every finding.
If the guarantee is not credible, or you cannot act on the plan, he will say so rather than take the fee.
THE DIFFERENCE
Today
Seven days from now
A percentage at month end, after it has already happened.
Costed dish by dish against what you actually buy, so you know which plates are wrong.
A rota adjusted by feel, and a number you find out about later.
Measured against covers, daypart by daypart, so the shape of the rota matches the shape of the trade.
Visible if you go looking, and nobody goes looking.
Counted, patterned and annualised, with the authorisation trail behind them.
The thing that shouted loudest last week.
A thirty day plan in priority order, biggest number first.
