What we learn in each engagement is kept in a shape that can travel to other stores or other areas, so the work compounds rather than ending with the project.

What we've seen on the floor

A few things we keep learning across engagements.

We're working with several restaurant operators. We don't share project details out of respect for our clients — but here are a few patterns we keep coming back to.

  • Price increases become a business decision only when the floor's instinct backs them up.
  • A new scheduling tool takes three to four weeks to earn store managers' trust. After that, things move fast.
  • In overseas expansion, the quality of the initial manuals tends to determine half of the outcome.
  • Menu revisions usually start from the conversation about the dish nobody wants to drop — not from food cost percentage.
  • Whether something gets used on the floor depends less on its features than on its fit with the rhythm of the day.

Let's start with a conversation.

Revenue, margin, labor, store quality, overseas growth. We're happy to hear what's on your mind and think it through with you. There is no charge for the proposal.
