Operations Assessment
HRBUniversal, LLC provides an objective look at your business model and all of its moving parts. Since each foodservice establishment is unique, we review your documentation – operations reports, recipe books, training manuals, policies, and procedures. Once we have a solid understanding of your processes, we will visit your site to review the various components of your business in action.
We identify operational inefficiencies and prioritize key areas that require assistance. Then we develop a plan of action that details areas for cost savings and improvements that can be made in both the front and back of the house, complete with deadlines for deliverables. We strive to give you the tools to maintain a well-performing restaurant so you and your guests will be happy.
Financial Advisory
Our restaurant management experience combined with extensive tax and financial industry experience make HRBUniversal, LLC the “go-to” group for restaurant financial advising. The first step is to find out what level of funds you need to launch your idea. Then we project your financials over the critical first two years of operation to assess if your concept and goals are realistic. We will help get you beyond the first three months of operation (the honeymoon period) where early sales are usually not an indicator of future sales. We will also set up systems to help you keep your prime costs below 63% of total costs and keep controllable expenses under 12%.
Whether you intend to seek funding through a bank, venture capitalist or private investors, we can assure that you have a sound business model that controls risk and puts you on track for success.
Labor Optimization
Restaurant employees are the face and voice of your brand. How they serve guests, prepare food & drinks and work together is a defining factor in the success of your establishment. In light of rising minimum wages and healthcare costs, efficient labor management can help restaurant owners train and retain the best employees who will, ultimately, become brand ambassadors for your restaurant.
HRBUniversal, LLC will analyze your operations and make recommendations on staff levels, job-specific train, ng and work flow to keep labor costs in check while optimizing the guest experience. Since the bulk of restaurant revenue comes from beverage sales, we can also provide training in mixology to help draw guests to your bar with new, exciting cocktails. With our labor optimization program, you can reduce employee turnover, enhance guest services and increase your profitability.
