Evaluation Of Your Operation

The evaluation and assessment of your BOH operation is essential to setting up a game plan and the tactics needed to identify and define the existing problems or for a Start-up or Turn-key operations. To do this, it’s imperative that I’m able to truly grasp your situation and challenges to move forward in recommending solutions.For example, in an up and running operation while high food cost may be first identified as the problem, in reality excessive food cost could very well be a symptom.The problem may be the lack of standard recipes, poor systems, lack of good training programs or a combination of these factors. It could also be that the reason the food cost is high is due to a menu pricing issue, not a food use one. Several possible contributing factors is one of the main reasons it’s essential to get deeply involved in the operation and playing a guessing game will not get the job done. Studies of your local market, evaluating your price points, (menu analysis) and evaluation of you vendors might be some of the essential parts of the assessment as well.

At times restaurants can get so turned around that it’s difficult for the operator to identify the difference between the symptoms and the problems. All that’s obvious is that “something” clearly isn’t working. One of my many specialties is doing “Covert Operational Assessments” that provide owners with insights on the underlying problems affecting performance as well as recommendations for solutions

In a turnkey operation it might be several factors that are present as the reasons you aren’t achieving you goals. Miscalculated Demographics, customer relations, marketing or food quality might be factors involve. The customer base is used to one thing when you’re trying to emulate the previous owners operation and the customer base is rejecting it. Let BOH Consulting assist you in straightening out any miscues your operation might be encountering and help achive your forecasted goal. Time is money!
