Restaurant Industry

Where every bite of data feeds your strategy

Margins are thin, guest expectations are sky-high, and technology contracts rarely speak the language of hospitality. We help restaurant leaders cut through vendor noise, align stakeholders—from finance to operations—and turn tech complexity into consistent profitability.

1 Insight & Assessment – 2–4 weeks

Know exactly what’s working, what’s wasting, and where compliance risks hide.

  • Menu of Contracts™ Review – side-by-side analysis of POS, delivery aggregator, and connectivity agreements.

  • Kitchen-to-Cloud Gap Matrix – maps current capabilities against labor efficiency, speed-of-service, and PCI mandates.

  • Executive “State of Flavor” Deck – board-ready synthesis with quick-win cost and risk items.

Outcome: immediate clarity on hidden fees, SLA gaps, and 0-12 month savings.

2 Strategy & Planning – 6–12 weeks

From pilot to chain-wide roadmap—sequenced, funded, and stakeholder-approved.

  • Vision facilitation: digital ordering, drive-thru AI, kitchen automation.

  • 36-month capital & OPEX model linked to unit economics.

  • RFI/RFP kit for next-gen POS, network, or loyalty stack.

  • Governance charter aligning Ops, IT, Finance, and Franchising.

Outcome: an implementation playbook that balances guest experience, compliance, and ROI.

3 Advisory & Leadership – Retainer

Seasoned guidance without the full-time executive cost.

  • Fractional CTO/CISO to steer pilots, manage vendors, and brief the board.

  • Quarterly Innovation & Risk Dashboard tied to store-level KPIs.

  • M&A or franchisor exit due-diligence (tech posture, cyber risk, contract liabilities).

Outcome: sustained momentum, reduced leadership gaps, higher valuation at scale.

Quick impact: Clients have uncovered 8–12 % annual OPEX savings within the first assessment cycle
