Operations consulting for
Restaurants & Hospitality
Great service shouldn't require 12-hour days from the owner. You opened a restaurant to serve food, not to spend every morning reconciling inventory spreadsheets and chasing staff schedules. We fix the backend operations so you can focus on the guest experience.
Common challenges we see
Inventory management is manual and inaccurate
Someone counts stock by hand, enters it into a spreadsheet, and hopes the numbers match what the POS shows. Automated inventory syncs with your POS in real time and flags reorder points before you run out.
Staff scheduling is a weekly headache
The manager texts every employee to collect availability, builds a spreadsheet, handles swap requests by phone. A proper scheduling system with availability tracking and peer-to-peer swaps cuts that time by 70 percent.
Sales data sits in your POS unused
Your POS captures everything. Most of it never gets looked at because pulling a report takes too long. Automated daily and weekly reporting surfaces the insights you actually need without anyone building them manually.
Vendor communication is scattered
Orders go out through text, email, and phone calls with different vendors. A centralized ordering workflow with automated reorder triggers means the right items get ordered from the right vendors at the right time.
What we typically build
Most restaurants have three to five processes running on manual effort: scheduling, inventory, vendor ordering, sales reporting, and review monitoring. We map the ones costing the most time, build the workflows to handle them, and train your team on the new systems. Everything connects to Toast, Square, Clover, Lightspeed, or whatever POS you already use.
